(try Cab!*.—Prew Association.—Cop-right.) DURBAN, November 18.
There is a reign of terror in NorthEast Natal, planters fearing that if the strikers get the upper hand tho sugarcane fields and sugar mills, worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, are likely to be wiped out.
In one case 150 acres of cane wc-ie burnt, the Indiaius standing by and cheering.
Tho sugar settlements resemble military encampment.*-.
The coolies are becoming inertv.iin-'lv puenacious, and are armed with canecutting knives and clubs. They refuse tho masters' advances, remaining sullen and implacable.
