In the line, in spite of Amhersts weight, the Har- yard forwards opened up holes every where and, being well supported by the back field, advanced the ball every down. As nearly every one of Am hert's kick offs were at once returned by Daly, the Harvard ends were given frequent chances for tackles. Their work under those punts was admira- ble, as they downed the Amherst backs for loss every time

zULU MASSA GRE M MENTIONED.
MT. White Says a Defeat Would Re-
 verse British Opinion.

London, Oct. 11-Montague White. consul general of the South African re- public in London, made statement this afternoon in which he attacked the British government and particularly MT Chamberlain. He also said: T believe, nevertheless. that a considerable rever- sal in British opinion would be effected by any serious defeat, for most of those now supporting the government are do- ing so with light heart and on general principles, not stopping to count the cost of war"
 Mir. White cited tht Isandlwhama massacre as an instance of such change in British opinion. He then went on to say: T suppose there can be only one ultimate result of the hos tilities. As to the duration of the war I am not able to venture even guess. It seems to me matter of the greatest uncertainty. I hear that Great Britain will not begin the wiping out process 1ntil December. In the meantime we shall see what we shall see. l have re- ceived no special instructions or news from the Transvaal during the last for tv-eight hours and I expect none, hav- ing long ago received directions as to the course for me to take when matters reached this stage. I shall remain on the continent and if anything further can be done in the interest of my gov- ernment I shall of course endeavor to do it, though there seems nothing left but to fight it out to the bitter, unjust end"
 MT. White seemed much distressed over the rupture and evidently did not entertain the least hope of Boer success. This afternoon MT. White closed the Transvaal consulate and left immedi- ately for the continent. He said the Transvaal agency in Brussels would be continued as the European headquar- ters of the government.
 MT. Whites reference to the Isandl- whama massacre is an allusion to the attack made on January 22, 1879, by some fifteen thousand Zulus upon the British camp at Isandula, or Isandl- whama, about ten miles from Rorke's
