THE NATAL RISING.
• SITUATION DISQUIETING. DEFIANT NATIVES. Received 14, 11.58 p.m. Capetown, February 14. Owing to tlio 'censorship in Natal the "Times'" Johannesburg correspondeut visited Natal. He describes tho situation as rather more disquieting than is ollieially represented. The natives have been lately defying the Magistrates, and passively resisting the taxes sought to be imposed upon thorn. Tho Government refrains, owiug to the extra expense entailed, from dealing with the situation as a whole. The correspondent adds 'hat the Government ought to collect all the taxes, backing the Magistrates with au imperial mobile column. This would reduce any upheaval to a minimum and the dispute would easily be settled, and possible bloodshed prevented. Lord Selborne advocates a vigorous policy, which, he says, would meet with the approval of the bulk of the inhabitants. The "Daily Mail" states that a considerable number of Zulus, employed on the Hand, are starting for Natal.
