§ In answer to Earl GRANVILLE,
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Lord KNUTSFORD)said: I am glad to say that last night I received a telegram from Sir Arthur E. Havelock confirming the telegram which appears in the newspapers this morning in reference to the state of affairs in Zululand. The telegram is as follows:—
August 1.—Colonial Secretary sent by East Coast road reach Umfolosi River without opposition. Somkeli, Chief of that locality, has voluntarily 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.
