LONDON, Oct GA dispatch from Cape
town announces that King Cetewayo has
arrived there. His Majesty was dressed in
neat suit of European clothes, which it
was evident from his actions he found much
less comfortable than his native dress. He
was accompanied by four of his wives four
Of his followers and one little girl, all of
whom regarded with great astonishment
the novel and strange scenes about them.
The captive King was Immediately impris-
oned under guard in the castle, but not
under conditions of servitude.
When informed that the Government of
Her Majesty, theQueen of Great Britain, de-
sired to treat him with unusual leniency and
consideration in view of his extraordinary
valor in war and his previous distinction
as ruler of the Queens people, and that
English officials had been instructed to
supply him with everything necessary for
his comfort, Cetewayo Immediately and in
naughty manner demanded that ten more
Of his favorite wives be sent for at once.
He said he had been accustomed to their
society and would feel lonely without
their presence. He was told that the Eng
ish authorities would consider his request,
but would probably not grant it. The de-
throned monarch is marvellous eater and
sulks like child unless he is promised
that one entire OK will be roasted for his
particular benefit daily.
When asked what he thought of Cape
town and high civilization, he, in satirical
manner, expressed his wonder at the
things around him, holding UP his hands
deprecatingly and saying: "Oh, I was only
born yesterday; I am mere baby; |
never should have fought against such
good men as the English who intended to
take away my country. They shot us to
make us Christians, and l am sorry for
shooting back at them" Cetewayo will be
confined in Capetown until final decis-
ion has been arrived at as to proper dis
posal of his person.
John Dunn, a Scotchman, and for long
time one of King Cetewayo's principal
advisers, has been appointed chief of one
of the most important districts in Zulu
land, including the section near Natal.
One of the first acts of Mr. Dunn was to
issue an order forbidding any mission.
