ENGLAND'S STARVING SOLDIKHN.
Indignant Appeal of a South At'
ricau Correspondent.
Loudon, August 4.?Mr A. (4.!
Hales, representative in South
Africa of the Daily News, is the
latest war correspondent, to attack
the methods and the red tape of
the British war office. He says:
"Let me tell you how our m my
in South Africa is treated by t tie
incompetent p< ople of the good
.city of London. I pledge my
word as a tnan and a journalist
that every written word is true
t .?..ii ...i.i a_._ .
a ..ii, luiu limning inn ut?| r?l*l
f.* ? ?!. n ?r set down aught in m il-1
ire. IT my st itements are proven ;
i ds *, then lei ine be scouged|
with the tongue and pen of scorn
from every Briton's home and
hearth forever alter, lor lie who
lies about his country at such an
hour as this is ot all traitors the.
vilest. I will deal now partieu
larly with the men who are net i
ing under the command of Lieut,
(f'ifl. Sir Leslie Bundle. This
goo l soldier and courteous gen |
tleman has to hold a f rontage |
line from Winburg via Senkal,j
almost to the borders of Basuto ;
land. His whole front, extend i
ing nearly a hundred miles, is
constantly threatened by an act ,
ive, dashing, determined enemy,
an enemy who knows the country
far better than an English fox
hunting squire knows the ground
he hunts over season alter season, j
To hold this vast lino intact Gen
Iiundle has to march from point
to point as his scouts warn him
of the movements of the tireless
foes. General Bundle's task is a
colossal one, and any sane man
would think that gigantic efforts;
would be made to keep him am
ply supplied with food for his|
soldiers. Hut such is not. the case. |
The men are absolutely starving.
Many of the infantrymen are so
weak that they can barely stag
ger along under the weight of
their soldierly equipment. They
are worn to shadows, and move
with weary, listless footsteps on
the march. People high up in
authority may deny this, but he'
who denies it sullies the truth. j
This is what the soldiers get to
eat, what they have been getting
to eat for a long time past, and
what they are likely to get for a
long time to come, unless England
rouses herself, and bites to
the bone in regard to the people
who are responsible lor it.
One pound of raw Hour, which
the soldiers have to cook alter a
hard day's march, is served out
to each man every alternate day.
The following day he eats one
pound of biscuits. In this country
there it no fuel excepting a
little ox dung, dried by the sun.
If a soldier is lucky enough to
pick up a little he can go to the
nearest water, of which there is
' plenty, mix his cake without
1 yeast or baking powder, and

and there his supplies end.

cocoa, of groceries generally?
Ask at the snug little railway
sidings where the goods* are
stacked?and forgotten. Ask 111

other seaport towns. Ask in your

underling, be made the scapegoat
of this criminal state of affairs,
for the taint of this shameful '|
thing rests upon you, upon every
Briton, whose homes, privilege
and prosperity are being safeguarded
by these tarnishing men.
The people in authority will prob (j
ably tell you that Gen. Rundle ^
and his splendid fellows are so
isolated that food cannot be oh- 1
tained for thorn. I say this is the v
case: I. in company with anoth s
or correspond" nt, left Gen. Run- f
die's camp without an escort, i
Wo made our way in the saddle, c
taking our two Cape carts with < |
"is to Winburg railway station ;if
leaving our hor?-p llesh there we ^
took train for East London. Then
hock to the junction and down to
Gape Town, where we remained
for 48 hours, and then made our
I wsy tiack to Winburg hikI from '
Winburg we came, without escort, r
to rejoin Gen. Rundle at Llam t
moma. If two war correspond- I
ents could traverse t bat country |
and get through with winter supplies
for themselves, why cannot ,
the transport people manage to
the same? These transport people
affect to look with contempt 8
i>n a war correspondent and his J
opinions on things military, but
if we could not manage transport a
business better than rhev do. s
most of us would willingly stand y
up and allow ourselves to be 1;
81101.
"Our men on the fields of war ,,
are tarnishing, whilst millions
worth of food lies rottening on
our wharves and in our cities; .
food that ought, with ordinary
management, to he within easy r
reach of our lighting generals. ri
Hritain asks of Kuudle the fulfil- o
merit of a task that would tax
the energies and the abilities of
the first general in Europ , and
with a stout heart he faces the J
world of work in front of him; *
faces it with .men whose knees n
knock under them when they y"
march, with hands that shake J*
when they shoulder their rifles; u
shake, but not with fear; treni ?
tile, but not from wounds, but
from weakness, from poverty of
blood and muscle by right of con- [5
riniial hunger. Are those men fit s
to storm a kopje? Are they fit to
tramp the whole night through
to make a forced march to turn
a position, and then fight like T
their tamers fought next day?
"I tell you no. And yours be

for you, what do you do? You
stand in your music halls and
shout a chorus of songs full of
sentiments of pride for your soldiers,
full of praise for his patience,

barging Responsibility for Her
Minister's Safety on the ChiHASfl.
Paris, Aug. 12, 10:30 p. m.?
'he tsung li yamen forwarded,
hrough the Chinese minister in
'aris, Yu Keng. a message to the
'rench government complaining
?f the "tardiness of the foreign
ninisters in Pckin in replying
o the offer of the Chinese govrnment
to conduct them under
escort."
The message proceeded to say
hat the tsung li yamen declined
o be responsible, in any way,
or any casualties which might
ollow these delays, and insisted
hat the European governments
irder their representatives to
eave l'ekin. To this communist
ion M. Delisse, minister of forsign
affairs, sent the following
epl.v :
"No order to depart from Pekin
vill be given our ministers so
ong as the route is unsafe. It a
asualty occurs the responsibility
vill be entirely with the Chinese
jovernment. It's strict duty is
o protect foreign ministers even
r.ore than its own.
"If if be true that the Chinese
;ovemment has great difficulty

"Now the Chinese government
hould understand that the only

ts designs and of limiting its rcponsibilities
is a cessation of the
daring of obstacles in tbe way

TWENTY NINE POINTS.
The Hears Badly Frightened by
Aii L'nl'ttTOiultltt Report and
Made Mad Rush to Cover.
New York, Aug. 10?The An
gust report from Washington, re
specting the condition of the cot
ton produced almost a panic
among the shorts on the cotton
exchange today. For a long
period they had heen operating
on the theory that the crop situation
was of a high average,
ignoring contradictory advices.
At noon the official report was
announced. It shnwml the ?v*?r
age condition of the crop to be]
70 per cent., against 81 per cent,
in August last year
This was worse than the meat
daring bull had presumed to hit
at. There was a wild dash to
cover short contracts. There was
enormous buying also by a class
of traders which had been wait
ing for some such report to throw
consternation in the ranks of the
shorts and justify a bull cam
paign. Everything offered was
taken and the market, advanced
by rapid leaps, so that within a
few minutes after the announcement
of the report prices were 20
to 21 points above the closing of
yesterday. Still later business
increased the advance to 21 to 20
points. It is estimated that the
transactions in cotton futures to
day did not fall far from a million
hales,or about up to the maximum
record.
