§ MR. R. MCKENNA (Monmouth.N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether he will inform the 1060 House as to the reasons for the continued detention in St. Helena of the Zulu chiefs Dinuzulu, Ndabuko, and Tshingana the remainder of whose sentences of imprisonment was cancelled early in 1895, and who were then instructed as to the positions they were to hold on their promised restoration to Zululand; and, whether the obstacles to the carrying out of the arrangements then made have been or can be now removed?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN,) Birmingham, W.It is my intention to make arrangements at the earliest practicable opportunity for the repatriation of the Zulu chiefs, but, unfortunately, the circumstances of the year in Zululand and the general aspect of native affairs preclude my taking immediate action in that direction.
