Colonel Mackenzie has reached Ukandhla.
Four hundred of Bambaata’s followers have crossed the Buffalo river at Umsinga, where Kula’s people are already armed. The main body consisting of 500 men is commanded by the headman Mteli.
Some of Batihes rebels have crossed the Tugela and are returning to their own kraals, or are seeking protection among the disaffected tribes. Kula and 'his brother have been arrested and brought to Helpmakaar. The Natal Assembly has sanctioned a half-million war loan. Mr Smythe, Premier, said that Natal’s relations with the Imperial Government were most cordial and the Mother Country showed an evident wish to treat Natal fairly and impartially. Loyal natives are being utilised to drive Bambaata from his bush iairs. Otherwise 20,000 troops would be required.
