NEW YORK HERALD TUESDAY AUGUST 1s7s-TR1pIE SHEET


leaving the battlefield of Ulundi, told his chiefs
to look to their own safety and to seek terms of
peace as best they could His army is broken
up, the nation is dispersed and the King is a
fugitive. Zululand viii probably be divided
into three or four separate princpalities, each
under the rule of an independent noble. Getty
wayo's brother, Oham, will receive his own ter
ritory under this arrangement Ii is reported
from Lm-eburg that Cetywayo, with 1000 fol-
lowers, is endeavoring to escape across the
northern border to join Secocoeni. The author
tiles are keeping good lookout for him. John
Dunn and other well informed parties think
there is great probability that Cetywayo will be
killed by his followers if he continues to give
trouble. All of the Zulus wounded ut the battle
of Ulundi were killed by the native contingent
in the employ Of the British"
CETYwAYo EARNESTLY WANTED.
The special dispatches of correspondents in
South Africa agree that the capture of Getty
wayo is all-important, because as long as he is
free he will remain the centre of conspiracy and
mischief. General Wolseley however, has no
intention of pursuing him with British troops
as the nature of the country renders such %
course impractcable. His policy rather is to
stir up the neighboring tribes against the King
Agents have been sent to the Swazies and ANA
tongas with this object in view, and 5000
cattle have been offered to Oham if he will cap
ture his brother. One telegram even says that
a price has been set upon Cetywayo's head, but
this seems an eXaggeration General Wolseley,
in an address to a number of chiefs on July II,
informed them he had no desire to take any of
their territory, but that CetywayO was a
fugitive and could never more be King.
General Wolseley had summoned all the native
chiefs to meet him at Einangwene, about nine
miles north Of the Umatoosi River, on July 10,
to hear his final words of settlement The
chiefs who were present at the meeting of July
II declared that the Zulu nation had now no
head. They wished to have no more black
kings and said they would prefer John Dunn
for King. They promised to bring all the chiefs
of the coast districts to the Emangwene meet
ing. These tribes, however, do not constitute
the most warlike part of the nation. A flying
column started for Emangwene on July ID to
prepare for the meeting. General Wolseley and
staff will follow.
TIE BOERs THREATEN TROUBLE.
A despatch to the Daily Telegraph from Cape
Town says:-"Rumors are rife of impending
troubles in the Transvaal. 1t is feared that if
the Colonial Ministers take energetic measures
with regard TO that province an immediate dis
turbance will ensue The announcement Of
the despatch of troops and the ap-
preaching visit of Sir Garnet W0lse-
ley have probably disquieted the Beers"
IA letter from Pretoria to the Daily Telepr0gh,
dated June II, says this question :--'The
latest news states That the Chief NIapoch is
showing signs Of breaking out, in conjunction
with Sccocoeni and that messengers from Getty
wayo to the Beers are supposed to have been
sent to intrigue. Steps being taken to in
tercept them. Information has also been re-
ceived of dealers importing ammunition illicitly
for sale to natives. The Beers are said to be
preparing for active demonstrations if the reply
to the memorial to the Queen is not satisfactory
and that they are trying to estrange the Anas-
wazis, who now friendly. Intelligence has
been received of reliable nature that three
Beers have actually gone to see Cetywayo and
thence to the Amaswazi King, with reasonable
overtures, and, further, that emissaries from
Cctywayo and Secocoeni have been sent to
friendly and neutral tribes trying to ALLEVIATE
them" The special correspondent of the Times
Of Natal says that Zulu chief had stated to
an officer of General Woods staff that 'some
Dutchmen had passed through Swazieland about
the end of June to arrange an offensive and de-
fensive alliance with Cctywayo at Ulundi.r]
GENERAL MATTER.
A despatch to the Duly Telegraph from Cape
Town says:-"Chicf Morosi has submitted. The
present trouble with the Basutos, therefore, is
settled, but much discomfort still exists. 1t is
feared that there will be severe famine next
year in Zuluand, as it is now seed time and no
land is being sown, while much seed has been
destroyed and many cattle have been seized"
In the House of Commons last evening, after
protracted debate, credit of $4,000, COO for
the Zulu war was agreed to without division
