lief that the British reverses were due to the
fact that the British cause was UNJUST

MFNACING STATEMENTS IN THE HOUSE
OF COMMONS.

London Feb. 15-In the House of Commons
to-day. in the course of reply to a question
relative TO the probable Boer invasion of Zulu
land the Secretary Of State for the Colonies. Mr.
Chamberlain, said that the Government had de-
cded that If the native territories were invaded
by the Beers the natives will be encouraged and
assisted in every way in defending themselves"
Mr.. Chamberlains reply confirmed the reports
CT the invasion of Zululand and showed the con-
sequences could not fail to be serious through
out South Africa as the alarm and unrest Of the
Zuius were bound 10 spread to the Natal natives
The Colonial Secretary also said that the Natal
Ministry had given notice to the home Govern
ment that il could not any longer be responsible
for the peaceful attitude of the Zulus as the in
compact that the natives should not be dragged
into the war.
A. J. Balfour the Government leader. dealing
with the same subject and the possibility of en-
ploying Indian troops. said his former statement
10 the effect that the Government would not en-
ploy natives in the present war was based on
the belief that by common consent the
would be confined to the two European races
adding:
If the Beers adopt a course inconsistent with
that idea we hold ourselves free TO reconsider our
decision"
The fears regarding a Boer attack on Zulu
land are somewhat allayed by a special dis
patch from Durham which says that a column
arrived at Eshowe 1t is reported that they are
In splendid lighting form They were pursued
several times during the march by the Beers,
bur succeeded in repulsing them.
