London. May 14-612 Il. M.-The war
office has published a dispatch from
ord Roberts dated Kroonstad Sun
day. May -. giving the correspondence
between Lord Roberts and President
Kruger relative to the alleged ill treat
mcnt Of Colonial prisoners Of war.
The Transvaal's reply was to the ef-
feet that there was no difference in
the treatment Of the colonial and other
prisoners and that only a few who had
contravcned martial law or who had
tried Il escape ur who. ii had been
suspected. might try to escape. had
been placed in Jail for security. Other
wise they had been treated like the
other prisoners Of war.
Regarding enteric fever, the govern
ment of the Transvaal said it was
prevalent among the civil population
as we'll as among the prisoners and ev-
cry remedial measure had been taken.
Lord Roberts replied. April ~. that
he was glad to receive President krug-
er's assurances. but pointed out that
no difference was made by the British
authorities in regard to the Bocr pris-
oners against whom there might he
reasonable ground for suspicion that
they would try TO escape, adding that
such exceptions gave room for abuse
by officials without the knowledge OF
the authorities.
