REPORTED MUTINY AMONG AUSTRALIAFS. Private J. Steele, a member of the Afth contingent of Vistorian Mounted Rifles, has just been court-martialled in South Africa a charge of endeavouring to persuaded colonials, to mutiny. He was found guilty and sentenced to be shot, but the sentence was subsequently commated to ten years' penal
servitude. Two other members of the coatin gest taking an active part in the disturbance wore respostively sentenced to two and three years' penal servitude. The brief cabled details of the unfortunate affair go to show that Steele suggested to his comrades to pile their arms and refuse to follow the load of Colonel Bentson, who was in command, till that offer apologised for having called the Mounted Rifles "a set of white-livered curs."
