Saws British Prisoners Are Not Treated.as
They Should BE.

They should BE.
London. April 16.-A BlOemfontein
dispatch says that Lord Roberts has
strongly protested to President Kruger
against the treatment of prisoners. sick
and wounded, in the hands of the
Beers and has formally demanded the
observance of the Geneva convention.
In his telegram of protest to President
Kruger regarding the treatment TO
which the colonial officers and troops
who are now prisoners at Pretoria have
been subjected the marshal complains
that the Beers have treated them as if
criminals confined in jail.
He points out that there are ninety
cases of enteric fever and dySentery in
the prisoners camp at Waterfall; that
the I'ransy.aI government failed to
supply on demand of the doctor the
necessary medicines and medical COM
forts: that the prisoners were forced to
bivOuac ON the open Veldt: that the
sick were placed i'll an open shed with
an iron roof. and that it was only
when the new doctor threatened to re-
sign that medicines and mattresses
We're supplied.
He invites President Kruger to rem
eGy this state of things and contrasts
it with the treatment the British igve
to BoeF prisoners. sick and wounded,

same treatment is our own soldiers

! immense crowds flocked into the

| mainly composed of provincials and
| foreigners. Comparatively few Paris
| ianS were TO be seen. Aware of the
great backwardneSs of the preparations
they remained away for the most part.
The management demanded two ell
trance tickets for morning admission.
one for afternoon admission and two
during rhe evening, when the Eiffel
tower and the palaces on the Champ
de Mars We're Illuminated. But there
We're absolutely no attractions pro
vided not even band of music-and
the people promenaded in front of the
empty. and in many cases unfinished
buildings. and along roads, where only
in the ease of the main avenues had
the work Of paving been completed.
Good Nature Seems to Have Been Needed.
Visitors who left the central arteries
found their pathway filled with pit
thOroughfareS resembling mere bride
paths. The crowd. however. was per-
fectly good-natured and took the mat
ter philosophically. Hardly a murmui
was heard anywhere in the way of
criticism. The moving sidewalk, ac-
cess TO which cost 30 centimeS. proved
Il great success and was jammed
throughout the day. The American
national pavilion remained closed. So
also did most of the other pavilion. for
the excellent reason that their inter
iors are still unfinished.
Fourteen Thousand Were Favored.
The formal official opening of Satur-
day was Il ceremony. That of yeSter-
