A BADLY-TREATrp GENERAL.

When the Anglo-Boer war broke out
General Sir William Francis Butler, who
was in command Of the British troops in
South Africa, was superseded and re-
called. The explanation given of this
slight" was that General Butler had
strong Dutch sympathies as evidenced by
his lack OF enthusiasm I'm the cause Of
wiping out the Beers.
But 80 turns out that the deduction Of
Dutch sympathy was drawn from Gene
raj Buffers not happening to be as stupid
as the British intelligence agents. These
latter allowed the Burghers TO deceive
th8m into believing that they had made
practically no preparation In the direc-
uon of modern war equipment, whereas.
30 is now disclosed that General Butler
sent dispatches to the War Office at Lon
don setting forth exactly the contrary,
and the correctness Of which White.
Gatacre. Methuen. Butler, and the British
nation have found out to their sorrow.
General Butler didn't banker" after
war. because he knew that the British
had not realized the magnitude of the
task before them, anc the readiness of
the Beers TO meet war In the light OF
the disasters that have overtaken the
British troops. and of recent information
that has leaked out in London touching
General Buffers warnings it would APP
pear that he has been most outrageously
treated and maligned.
