The New Zealand Dinner

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright London, June 18 Among those present at the annual New Zealand dinner, Mr Reeves presiding, wore Lord Strathcona, Mr Edwyn Dawes. the Agents-General, Sir Westby Peiveval, Colonels Sommerville, Pole-Penton, Pearce, and Porter, Captain Seddon, Sir Walter Bailer, Sir Montague Nelson, and Mr G-eo. Beetham. Altogether 3SO were present. Mr JDooat proposed, and Major Cradook to the toaab of " The Forces of the Colony." Lord Onslow proposed " The Prosperity of New Zealand." He referred to the unexampled success o£ the advanced legislative compatibility, Radicalism, and Imperialism. G-raat Britain's contingent at the front wag 315,000, and New Zealand's proportionately to the population, was equivalent to 360,000. England's liberal re-settling of the Boers was more liberal still to loya iata, ____________

THE Spion Kop Despatches.

(file "London Times," Friday, April 18.) The Spion Kop despatches have now been issued m fall, and we have reproduced at length the principal passages and docu ments which have not been made public hitherto. They recall an episode of which the single redeeming feature was the splendid conduct of our troops under cir cumstances which tried to the -utmost their diacipline and their courage. From every other point of view the story of Spion Kop and the behaviour of most of the principal actors concerned In it must remain painful reading to Englishmen. The operations themselves seriously impaired the military reputation of Sir Redvers Boiler, Sir Charles Warren, and of some ot their subordinates. The unhappy oontroversy ia regard both to the form and to the adequacy or inadequacy of the official accounts originally issued, has not added to the credit of either of the parties to it. The papers we print to-day put, however, a very different complexion upon the action both of the Government and of General *>i"*er from that which it has hitherto borne. If they do not clear the Government, they oontain a crashing condemnation of General Bailer's behaviour as a commander out of his own mouth. They showed _ that, it Ministers acted weakly and injudiciously jin publishing an incomplete version of the despatches, this course was taken from a sincere desire, as Mr Balfour has stated m a recent correspondence, to spare, if pos sible, General Buller's feelings andjbo maintain his military reputation. The Government, we believe, would have acted more wisely and more fairly to the nation had they-either withheld the despatches altogether, or published them m full, but nobody who now reads these remarkable documents can doubt that Ministers took the unfortunate middle course they did take largely for the purpose of shielding the officer they had originally chosen for the chief command m South i Atrica. What conceivable motives can have impelled Sir Eedvers Buller to force them to abandon that course after nearly two years ib is not easy to understand. The # papers now published "without manipulation, m reply to his deliberate and offensive chal lenge, justify, and fully justify, from his own lips, the severest strictures passed upon his leadership by Lord Roberts and the least favourable, suspicions hithertp entertained amongst the public as to what that leadership must have been. It is aimply astonishing that a soldier and a man of the world, who ha« rises to such high rank m the Army, should so entirely mis judge the purport of his own admissions as to insist on extorting them from the too friendly hands which strove to consign them to a charitable oblivion. Upon the possible causes of so strange a perversion of view m a man who has served his country with zeal and courage, if not al ways with intelligence, we prefer not to speculate.

Indigestion and Biliousness.

CLEMENTS TONIC SUCCEEDS. The Case of Mrs. M. X CADE. (By a Special). No. 58, Park-road. Adclington, is the residence of Mrs. Mary Ann Cade, who recently verified certain extraordinary statements which had arested the atten tion of a special writer. In answer to the reporter's question as to the nature of her remarkable experiences, Mrs. Cade said: — "The doctor told me I was suffering from indigestion and biliousness. I waa really m a very perilous condition, and suffered enough torture to last "me a lifetime. I thought I would never get over my sickness, m view of tiie fact that so many complications set m, and the doctor's medicines were in operative." " Can you describe your several ail ments, Mrs. Cade?" _"I should rather think so. Abom inable stabbing pains came between my shoulders, and I was likewise afflic^d m the lower part of my right side. When I had eaten a few mouthfuls of food my stomach felt as if it were over loaded, and immediately followed eruc tations of wind. The wind moved back wards and forwards, causing terrible paroxysms of agony, besides promot ing an unnatural quick beating of my heart. These indications of disease frightened me considerably, and I had still greater reaaon to feel alarmed when I noticed my face become a deathly white, arid my lips almost colorless. I was always drowsy and dejected, feeling as though there was nothing m the world for me to think about. -■ For a while I could sleep fairly well, although £ was troubled with nasty dreams, and never experienced any benefit from the slumber I obtained. In course of time, & 'however, I found it more difficult to geb to sleep, being kept awake many a long night through, by anxious forebodings and bodily tor ment. Sometimes the dreams were so dreadfully repulsive that I suddenly awoke from them, and lay m a state of doubt as to whether they were real or not. I was exceedingly nervous and exoit&ble, the most simple thing setting me m a frenzy of terror." "How did your strength keep up under the strain?" "It soon faded out of existence. Weakness became so pronounced that- I could not raise a chair without con siderably exerting myself. If I sat down all clay I still felt fatigued and weary; but I could not rest, always. I had several attempts at doing a little work, the result being that I was soon completely prostrated" with the effort, besides having agonising pains darting through my limbs, and I could not stand up straight. :. I was further weakened by periodical attacks of neuralgia. Ter ribly acute pains darted through my temples and worked up to the top of my head. These maddening pains often lasted, without a moment's respite, for a week at a stretch. My body waa now as thin as a skeleton. My medical adviser said I would get rid of the neuralgia when I regained my strength. If I had to wait till then I would have gone mad, because his medicines did not strengthen me m the least. <? I then tried several medicines, which I saw ad vertised, but they, too, failed to afford relief. Despondency beyond measure fell upon me. Q Then a small booklet was handed to me one day, containing some marvellous cures resulting from the use of /Clements Tonic, I ascertained that they were tiue, and then started on a course myself. That was the turning point m my career, for I gradually gained an all-round improvement m my health. Considering the non-success of my doctor's and other medicines, it is really astounding how quickly Clements Tonic cured my complaints. First, my nerves were toned up, and the neuralgia was put under. Then my appetite came hack m conjunction with the great reviver—sleep. The sick headaches and body pains departed one by one, leav ing my limbs lithe and active. A tinge of red came into my oheeks, and I threw off fchafc distressing feeling of despon dency. Having the right physic at last I persevered with it till there was not a trouble of any sort xmconquered. Neuralgia never affects m.4 now, and my diseased liver was made healthy and sound by Clements Tonic." "May your statements appear ia print?" "Yes, Many people may benefit thereby, bo you can publish these facts m any' way you like."
