Vegged resistance in regard to this suntter the patural ynterne of the quirks of the War Department. The second question really the all-important nu ani one which cannot be altogether overinsked in 'considering the first-is the justico of the demand subsequently made for the
ingreased contribution on the basis of the present garrison or with the vague promise of Indian troops at some distant date. The unofficial embers and the Colony will have to face this lattor question, for, if thedemand can be make out to be just, even arbitrary treatment is no creuse for refusing, or
rather continuing to refuse, to pay what is fairly due. This seconqucation has, of course, still to be thrashed out, in spite of the fact that the vote has been passed by the officials.

Meantime military and oral agthorities strongly condemn the conduct of men bearing high commissions in the Queen's Service who, having board these allegations against-the honour of an oBloer under their cominand, did not at once demand an inquiry into the case.
