BRITISH MURDER DENIED.

New York, Jan. IA Sun cable
from Cape Town says: What the Brit
ish designate as a dastardly libel was
exposed today. After the battle of
Modder river the entire colonial Dutch
press published story about the MUIR
der of eighty Beers by the Argyll and
Sutherland Highlanders. This caused
so much excitement that the Premier
of Cape Colony, Mr.. Schreiner, asked
General Methuen about the report
General Methuen positively denied the
story, and the Premier thereupon wrote
to the editor of the Cape News ac-
quainted him with General Methuens
denial and asking his authority for the
story. The editor of the News replied
that his informant was the head of an
important financial enterprise in Cape
Town and he can give his name. He
went on to say that this man received
his information from the engine driver
who had witnessed the murder. When
subsequently asked to disclose the
name of the engine driver the editor
refused to do so.
Today the editor made this state
ment: my informant states today
that he has heard from his original in
formant that what really happened
was this: A party of Beers stood out
side house and fired into advancing
troops, who supposed all the Beers had
left. Another company of British
troops approached from behind and
shot the Beers, which was, | under
stand, justifiable under the rules of
war. have done my best to reach the
source of the original statement, but
regret to say l have been unable to
succeed"
The correspondence was published by
Prime Minister Schreiner. The Eng
lish say this is fair sample of the
manner in which idle reports are pub
lished by the Dutch press for the pur-
pose of working up feeling against the
English among the colonial Dutch
The Onslano and the News are the
worst offenders in this respect.
