Mr Julian Ralph, correspondent of] the Daily Mail, strongly supports the . charges of Mr Burdett Coutte, M.P, in 8 reference to the hospitals. i London, June 30 ' In the House of Commons, Mr j Wyndham, referring to the charges against the hospital arrangements for the troops in South Africa, admitted that there had been terrible hardships. Every effort had been made to miti gate these, he said, and unstinted supplies had been provided, but there wrre insuperable difficulties. The per centage of deaths was below that of previous campaigns, and was ro higher than that of Home hospitals. He read Lord Roberts's telegram, that any defects were accidental, not tjp: ca).

Mr Burdett-Qoutts reiterated bis statements as to the horrors of typhoid at the Kroonstad, Bloemfontein and Maitland Hospitals., and in other camps at Capetown, He exonerated Lord Roberta, but blamed the War Office system,

Mr Walter Foster said half the deaths which had occurred from diseases were avoidable.

Mv Balfour promised an enquiry. He justified Lord Robert's phenomen ally rapid advance, even if he had only been able to carry limited medical supplies. The outbreak of enteric 4t ter Faardeburg was unexpected. Sydney, June 30 The colony's crack A Battery, around which so many high hopes were cent ed hashsid hard lack since they went to the front. One of the drivers writing from Prieska, dolefully says the Battery is stM stranded there, and their march from the Orange river is likely to last til) the war ia over, and not yet have they fired a shot, or seen one fired. " Fe asks to be informed if the war is still on. The officers grin and bear it, but all the same, they are disappointed at the whole thing. The writer adds :—We have a few would-be herof s in the Battery, and J deal with them at a barrack-room courfmartiai Oar last one was a driver, who wrote to a friend, stating that he was in action, and had been wounded. We found the letter and arrested him. He was tried, and found guilty of writing a letter with intent to mislead, to the effect that the Battery had been under fire, etc, and to have the Battery ridiculed.

The jury found him guilty, and sen' tenced him to a thorough good tossing in a blanket^ and to be soused in a horse pond, He was also to wear the V,O. for being the champion liar of the Battery. The sentence of the Court was duly cirried out.

This, by keeping the weekly rental paid for 14 yenra, would leave the property fully paid for ; while if afenant remains in the same house fo the same time without acquiring the fre r hold, and continues to pay the 7a per week renal, at the end of that time he will nob own one foot of the timber oi which the house is built.
