Then the waywardness of the digger produced its certain result, and Secocoeni, the Chief whose possessions lay nearest to the Leydenburg diggings, declared war, and the result (when, after three months' fighting, the volunteer army broke up of its own accord and went home) was some- what doubtful, although Secocoeni sued for and obtained peace upon agreeing to pay a small indemnity. It is said that some of the farmers in out-lying districts subsidized the local chiefs in order that they might l...ive in safety. Then there were frontier questions with Cetewayo, the King of the Zulus, whose land lay between the Transvaal and Natal and the Sea, and here again we supported the Natives against the Boers. Then the English Government was perpetually sending poor President Burgers irritating and insulting messages based on an in- sufficient knowledge of the facts, and he was rated in turn by each Colonial Secretary. There was no doubt that the Transvaal was passing through many and great difficulties, but its position was not nearly so desperate as that of the Orange Biver Free State had been.
