General Colvils Demands a Hearing

The Preas Associatlsia representative net 'General Sir H Col vile on hie arrival at Portemonth on December 25* th, on board the Britannia, and In response to hie request received from chab officer an account of the causes of the Ltndley disaster. In connection w|th which he has been ordered to'rellngnlsh his command. The ace ant was carefully revised and approved by the General before publica tion. Tfte following are some extracts :— THE LINDLEY AFFAIR **| am accused of being chit fly respon sible for the surrender of the Yeomanry at L'ndley. T n my opinion the primary cauee of his surrender wa j ihe insufficient Information gi'/en by tho Headqaarters Staff m Colonel Spraggeacd myself. Had I been informed of Lord Robert's inten t Sons and the Intended movements of Colonel Spragge, who was In command of the Yeomanry, and had Colonel Spragqe been made acquainted with tha orders I received from Lord Roberts this disaster would never have happened." General Colvtle explains In considerable detail the e'renmatancea of the Llndtey dimeter. For his part, ha ssaya he carried onthotA Roberta's instructions to the letter, m spite of great difficulties, and that military conditions justified his action throughout. "1 have been ctitlaed for not having taken Into account the epecial Importance of a'portion of Colonel Spragge's-forse, bafc I cannot admit that military opera tion! ahonid be influenced by questions of social position, or that the aatety of five ftandrod Yeomanry (millionaires though gome of them might be,)waa of more Impeltero ttmn thai) of low fchottSina

Highlanders, or bhe success or failore of an important military movement. After fighting all the 28th, and making very little progress, and again—but less hard—on the 29;h, T reached Heilbron exactly on the day appointed by Lord Robert?. Although T had been officially informed thnt the place was in General Hamilton's occupation, and had therefore inferred that I should find Buppliea there I found no supplies there, and co English troops, except 120 sick and wounded, who were living, od the charity of the inhabit ants. Tn conclusion Sir Henry Colvile said no one is more in favour than I am of weeding out incompetent officer.o, and had I been one who had establishes! gome sort of a reputation against savages, and had failed.throughout this campaign, I should have no complaint to make But I think It will be admitted that this was nofc the case. At Belmont, Enalin, Modder Rive*r and Magerafontein, while in command of the Guards Brigade, I was favourably mentioned in dispatches. In the first engagement at Paardeberg it was my Division which worked round Cronje's right, and took up the position which made the final assault possible. It wap part of my Division, working under roy orders, which delivered the attack causing his surrender. Speaking of this, Lord Roberts told me that) it had been very well conceived and carried oat, and in hie speech to the Royal Canadian Regiment, after the taking of Cronjd'a laager, he publicly announced that I had persuaded him to let me attempt the attack At Poplar Qrove my D. vision was the only one which captured and brought in a gun At the Sauna's Poat affair,, if owi.ig to be ing sent too late I failed to rlo the im pci ib^andrecaptuzeGaneralßroadwoods guuslatall events did what presumably Lord Roberts would have done himself, for during the engagement I received a tp' egram from him alvisi'g me to io exactly what I was doir>g, to make a i urnitig movement, a3 the enemy would try to delay me at the spruits. . . That in all these fourteen engagements I was admirably served by my subordinates I fully and g.- a tefally admit, but in all cases it was I who had to plan thedit positlona of my troopp, and I wif-h to show that throughout the campaign I have shown myself to be a capable General, and that even if it is thought that I made mistakes, Ifc la only fair that my su' casses (•hall also b« mentioned. WILL »OT PLAY AT THE ROLE OF SCAPEGOAT "My object in coming to England i« to make the true facts of the case known, to be on the epofc to answer any further attacks, and if possible to arrange for a fall and open enquiry. If then lam foand to be inoompetent, for the sake of the army I wiil gladly take the conuequer. cea. But Ido not Intend to play the role of scapegoat for the E"k-f of the Staff I do not wish to be tried twee on the same accusation, and for an incident of which I do not accept the blamo, and on evidence which I have never been given an opp rt unjty of rebut; ing. I have therefore declined to re'sigi my appointment, being confident that a full and open inquiry can only lead to my justification."
