THE ENGLISH SCANDAL. &
The Army Authorities Lay the Whole Blame
on Sir Gordon Cumming

The Army Authorities Lay the Whole Blame
on Sir Gordon Cumming.
LONDON, June 15.-StanhOpe, Secretary
Of the State for War, replying to-day, in the
Commons, to a question put by William
Summers, Gladstone Liberal, in regard to
the baccarat scandal, said Sir William Cor
don Cumming is the chief person who had
broken faith, because he did not report the
case to his commanding officer. If the
offense was committed by any other person
1t could only have consisted in advising him
and pressing him TO take a different course
than that laid down by the army regulations.
OF the three officers concerned, General
Williams was a retired army officer, and
therefore, not subject to the regulations,
but twO-a Field Marshal, the Prince of
Wales, and Lieutenant Berkeley Levett-
undoubtedly were. The former prince of
Wales said StaHhOpe, while looking back
at all the circumstances of the case, saw the
error Of judgment committed.
StanhODe added: "In this view Of the case
concur, but should like TO express my own
personal opinion that had any one else sud
denly heard that one Of bis friends who had
greatly distinguished himself in the service
had been accused as Sir William Gordon
Cumming was, he certainly would have hes
itated before at once adopting the course
which would Immediately and irretrievably
blight his whole future career"
LeYett, on the other band, continued STAN
hope, had written a letter to his command
ing officer expressing deep regret that he
had not acted in accordance with army reg
uations. Consequently, said the Secretary
of State for War, in conclusion, 10 was not
proposed to take any farther action in the
matter.
Cobb. member for Rugby, who had an
nOunced his intention of questioning Stan
hope, did not, in view OF the Secretary's
statement, put the question.
BERLIN, June 15.-The Emperor has
caused it TO be made known formally in the
German army that any discussion Of the
Prince Of Wales affair viii he treated as a
grave indiscretion if By officers, and as a
case for severe punishment among those Of
the lower ranks.
