A representative of the Daily Mail saw recently some private letters, which show that the troopers, though, of course, not justified la their disobedience of orders, silil had exceptionally good reasonsfor dissatisfaction
According to these letters, written by one of the 7th Hussars, the men, when seat up country from Natal, were given to understand that they would be allowed additional pay of 7s. 6d. a day by the Chartered Company in whose interests they were practically employed. Arrived at the front, however, they found that the military
