SOUTH AFRICA.

London, September 17,

The "Daily Mails" Durban correspondent states *that Captain Macfarlane, particulars of whose death were cabled on June 11th last, was accidentally killed by a bullet fired by a colonial on the other side of a gorge which separated them. Lieut. Marsden, of Koys ton's JElorse, who was mortally wounded on the same occasion, was shot in the mist, being mistaken for a rebel in the semidarkness.

Mr Abe Bailey and' Sir Percy Fitz Patrick, delegates from the Transvaal Progressive party, are returning to South Africa. Interviewed at Southampton,. Mr Bailey complained that the Liberals were oppposing a.forin of indentured labor for the development of the Transvaal. Sir Percy Fitzpatrick anticipated a small British majority on the main issues, owing to the presence of two clearly defined policies, and the danger of tbe British allowing themselves to be split into factions while the Boer organisation, the Hetvolk, *was as solid as one-man.
