Why Roberts Refused to
Spare Troops for China.

Advices from London state that
Lord Roberts refusal to GLOW troops
to be withdrawn from South Africa
tor service in China. It is said, came
about in this way: The secretary of
state for war. Lord Lansdowne, ca
bled Lord Roberts asking if he could
spare division. and Roberts replied
eyes," Lord Lansdowne then Sc
lected number OF favorite officers
who have been cosling their heels in
the drawing rooms at home for bill
cts with the force. In the meantime
Roberts cabled suggesting that sew
eral of his tried commanders should
accompany the division he aOas
preparing, adding that if an army
corps was needed he would like to
go himself.
Those recommendations put Lord
LansdOwne in an awkward fix. Be-
fore he answered Lord Roberts the
latter heard from private sources
that none Of his seasoned lieutenants
was to go, but that "warriors who
had fattened on the fieshpots of So
ciety" we're coming out to take all
commands in the expeditions, wher-
eupon the little man promptly wired
Londen that it was impossible !, to
send any troops at all out of South
Africa, his previous offer being ba-
sed on imperfect information. Their
eupon Lord Roberts's army -ejolced
and the War Office was reluctantly
obliged to abandon scheme where
by it was hoped to mollify many dis
tinguished peace-soldiers and their
relations. Ne definite confirmation
OF the report can be obtained, but it
is told with considerable circumstan.
tiality and is generally credited.

present our complaint to whover has

To whom commune

New York, July 21st, 1900
It is nevertheless generally
believed that the promptness
with which the reply to Secre-
tary Hays message was re-
ceived, and the fach that the
message itself safely reached
Pekin, is due to the kindly
services of the Administrator
Of Telegraphs and Railroads,
Sheng, one os the most pro-
minent of the Chinese who in
these trying times are assis-
ting the nations to bring about
peace.
