MR. SELOUS AND THE INDUNAS.

[TO TER EDITOR OF THZ "SPECTATOR."]

SIR,—It is the impossible that always happens, and so I suppose it is the case that no one pointed out to you the mistake into which you fell, and the injustice you did to Mr. Selous, in the Spectator of February 25th, in attributing to him the neglect of the Matabele Indunae, which led to their arrest and the death of two of them. It was Mr. Dawson who was travelling with the envoys, and Mr. Selous's part was confined to the act of inviting to his quarters, for refresh- ment, an exhausted fellow-countryman.—I am, Sir, &c., H. LAURENCE. 27 Crouch Hall Road, Horngey, .larch 8th.
