The Remount Scandal.

OOLONEL BT QUINTIN'S DE FENCE.

The Empire Review contain* «n article b? Oolonel St Quiutin, iit« Director of Remounts for the Imperial Yeomanry, in reply to critioiems pawed on biin and bis department in the pur* cbage of horses for South Africa. Colo nel St Quintin says he is willing and prepared to submit himself to any tri bunal, civil or milit%ry. Ha took over hie work in December 1899, and con tinued till May 1900, He stipulated that tie should in do way be held re sponsible for Lord Lonsdale'a orden and horses. Of twelve hundred horses a tabled ia Liverpool in January 1900, orderod by Lord Lonsd&le, be pointed out many were unsuitable aud ought not to be shipped. Lord Lonsdale agreed, and 139 borees were afterwards re jectecl. The transports failed, and aooidents amongst horses resulted ia many being incapacitated. In hi* search for the ten thousand horses re quired he turned to Austria on Oolonei Xolbier's aßßuranoe that the horses there under fifteen hands were etroog, hardy cobs. Lord Lonsdale never mentioned to the writer anything about com muni cation with Austria or Austrian boraei. The orders for the number of horfet were being continually changed, and the writer had to stop buying ami get oot ot contracts as beat he couid, \eomen themselves bought 3789 horeei instead of a thousand, and the horsea were crowded about the country in meat tei> rible weather, with nopropermeansof look* ing after them. The writer had the whole business thrown on his shoulders with inexperienced civilians. Unfortunately Sir Blundell Maple did not aay whet her the inferior animals to which he referred were passed on behalf of the War Office or on behalf of the, Imperial Yeomanry. The ooly direct accusa tion agaiast the Imperial Yeom*nry horses was the written 1 statement of Mr Kuster. Both Oolonel MacLsaa and the writer were well satisfied with the Austrian horses. Owing to diffi i culties with the Austrian Government 1 about neutrality it was necessary to keep the transactions in the hands of private persons; The question of middlemen had not much bearing on the main point at issue, Sir Blundell Maple would not deny the invariable* nebs of employing middlemen in carry ing out large contracts, Had oot the business been carried through aa it was, horses could not have been ob tained in time. The horses bought in Austria were good of their sort, and A fair value obtained for publio money, The cost of each horse delivered at o<*pa Town waa £60. After Lewison pokid Ranucci £7000 for his contract, che writer reduced the price of Aus trian hordes to £26, the lowest price at which remounts can be got; iv Austria, The entire cost of Hungarian horses worked out £29, 12s apiece. Seeing the Government allowed £4G for each borne, the writer saved the country £42,000;

County Council, relates His most remarkable case as follows:-—,*'To Pro prietor Plantekoa, Sir,—-! fe'ol it my duty both to you and also suffering humanity to make known the benefit! have derived from the use of Plantekoa.. I have, beea under treatment fer years for my kidneys, liver and chronic indigestion. Under examination the Doctors thought I had a fl -a: ing kidnty, and prescribed medicine*) and lotions for treatment, and In fact I have lodine and other things In the house now that was supplied to paint my back. In addition' to the complaint mentioned I used fco Buffer at times most excruciating pains from neuralgia in the side and back. Beside the doctor's treatment 1 have tried almost coundesa Patent Medicines in the effort to get relief. I can honestly say thai PbaNteKOa has made a new man of me, has cured the ailmeata above referred to, and I am now enjoying better health than I have done for years. Any farther information will be gladly famished if desired, i wish to Bay also that Plantekoa Ointment has proved a wonderful friend to me. About six years ago after playing in. a football match my body became covered with pimples, which turned to chronic eczema. Daring those yeara I cannot describe the suffering caused nor yet coonb the number of ointments and j the like that I tried to relieve this terrible j complaint. When I aaed to perspire at I my wotk, the smarting, itching and yet i burning irritation would neftriy drive mo crazy. I have vsm> Plantekoa Ointment with result. I have not tbesliqhteat traca of the complainb left, and my skin is aa I clear as thai) of a little child. While in a very heated condition I pttfc on another Footballer's jersey ia mistake for my own, I do not know if that had anything to do with starting my complaint, but a singular fact wae that the irritation commenced at that time, and covered my body, arms and neck, while my face, legs and hands were free. Suffice to say that) whatever way it came Plantekoa has cared ifc completely. It will be seen by my letter that I have had my share of suffering, and really the condition I have been in life was not worth living.
