Chamberlain, In House of Com.
mons, Threatened Beers.
WILL HELP zULUs TO DEFEND.
So Declared If There Was an Invasion by
the Burgbers-The Beers May Retail
ate, Accentuating the Bloody struggle
In South Africa.

LONDON, Feb. 16.--In the house Of
commons, during the course Of a reply
TO a question relative to the probable
Boer invasion Of Zululand, the secre-
tary of state for the colonies, Joseph
chamberlain, said that the government
had decided that if the native territories
Were invaded by the Beers, the natives
will be encouraged and assisted in
every way in defending themselves.
The newspapers, while not denying
the possible necessity for the decision,
regard it with misgiving.
The Standard says; ST is hint
which is not necessarily 10 be tra nslated
into practice. There are reasons. many
and grave, why we should not add to
the calamities Of South Africa the mis-
fortune of hostilities between the domi-
nant and subject population. The
Beers will do well to take the warning
to heart. y
The Daily Chronicle says: eve trust
the government will pause before taking
the exceedingly dangerous step Of put
ting arms into the hands of the black
men. If we arm one tribe, the Beers
will arm another, and we shall have the
horrors Of savage warfare, making South
Africa hell upon earth. +"
The Beers seem to have anticipated, as
they have been doing everything in their
power to win the good viii of the Basu-
tos, who have thousands of good rifles
The Beers gave 1000 Basutos safe con-
duct. If the British let loose one tribe,
the Beers will probably let loose an
other
