To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. VIII YOU permit me to enter my protest
against the Misrepresentation TO which me boeIS
are subjected almost daily in the editorial columns
Of The Tribune? Is it not enough 10 read tne
fraudulent dispatches which come over the BRUSH
cables without the additional sneering comments
Of those who resent the interference Of the two
renublics with the mperiastic programme OF
Joseph Chamberlain?
A few days ago you stated that the Boers oa''eu
the British and Americans damned red hecAs'
and spoke contemptuousy Of their WnNe nag
Does The Tribune vOuch for the accuracy OF th'S
statement? because the original story appeared III

New-York, Nov. 10, 1899
1.-THE alleged American Women" are all resi-
derts OF London. and most OF them have long
been British citizens through marriage. We DO
not know what contributions they may nave
individually made toward the Red Cross move
rnents in America. though we do know that
many thousands OF dollars came from Ameri-
can women so situated abroad II their individ-
ual contributions are to be inquired into, per-
haps Mr. Gaffney will think IT. right also to tell
how much he gave himself. and also now much
he proposes to give now TO the Red Cross nurses
sent ont from New-York, who are still at work
IN Manila. and for whose support tho funds are
running low. OF Mr.. Gafneys misrepresenta-
lions Of The Tribune, IT does not seem needfui
