§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN (Birmingham, W.)asked, Whether the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies had received any recent information about affairs in Zululand?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Sir JOHN GORST)(who replied) said: Yes, Sir. The following telegram has been received from Sir Arthur Havelock:—
1st August.—Colonial Secretary sent by east coast road reach Umfolosi River without opposition. Somkeli, Chief of that locality, has involuntarily and unconditionally surrendered to authorities. Other Chiefs expected to surrender. Native followers who had come to Dinizulu from beyond Zululand are said to be dispersing. I am not without hopes that Dinizulu himself will surrender. Situation much improved.
