NATAL NATIVE RISING.

The Times notes :in improvement in the Government's tune in South African affairs generally. Yves Guyot, political editor of the Pans journal Lo Siecle, says if Sir Tl. CampbellBannerman suppressed Chinese labor it would seriously injure the gold industry and prosperity of South Africa, committing as serious a blunder as when Mr Gladstone signed the Majuba Convention. The Zulus having volunteered to capture Bamboata, the Government has temporarily refrained from employing white forces, wishing the Zulus to show their loyalty. The Natal police are holding the middle drift on the Tugela to prevent Bamboata doubling back. Bamboata with 20 followers was scon on the outskirts of the forest near Cotcwayo's old stronghold. The chief Skarda is under observation, being suspected of succouring him. Advices show that Captain Man sell s column is on the heels of Bamboata's main force. The Zulu scouts have proved invaluable. A volunteer impi of Zulus under Mr Saunders, chief commissioner, joined Captain Mansell to-day. The Natal Government oilers £SOO for the capture of Bamboata, and £2O for each of his followers, alive or dead.
