The correspondent of the Daily Neos in a despatch
dated Cape Town. July IA, says:-"The policy Sir
Garnet Wolseley is adopting Is the same old game

necessities OF the situation. mean the policy Of

Leod has been commissioned 70 stir up the Swazes

THE rRASsvAAL DoRRs.
The trouble limited at in the above cable despatch
is spoken of in the letters of correspondents in
South Africa. Writing from Capetown. tho CORE
