Survivors.
MADE ONES BLOOD BOIL
Archbishop Of Cape Town De-
scribas Treatment of Sick
and Wounded.
Warm Clothing Was Freely OF.
fered but Rarely if Ever
Distributed.

LONDON. June 2s.-The exposures re.
garding the hospitals in South Africa
have made great sensation in Eng.
land. They began with three columns
of restrained language in The Times
from w. A. Burdette.C Coutts, Conserva-
tive member of parliament for West
minister. His disclosures have been
widely reproduced and they are supple
mented with denunciatory kilograms
and interviews from survivors and
army medical men.
The archbishop of Cape Town, in an
address before the Society of Good
Hope in the Cape government house
Monday. expressed great dissatisfaction
ut the way in which the sick and
wounded were treated. He declared
that the warm clothing that was abso.
lutely necessary was freely offered. but
was rarely if ever distributed by the
army doctors; that the sick slept upon
the bare ground, and that, even in Cape
Town, the way in which the hospitals
were mismanaged made ones blood
boil.
Mrs. Hanbury Williams, wife of
Major John Hanbury Williams, Sir
Alfred Miners military secretary,
told tho meeting that if the visiting
delegation had reported the mismanage-
ment the doors would have been shut
in their faces
A news agency dispatch from Cape
Town says: "Certain disclosures point
to malfeasance in the arrangements for
the sick and wounded"
The Daily Express refers to the
"springless, out of date ambulances" Of
the British, aud contends that Boer
ambulances are notoriously superior.
Princess Christian publicly asks for
volunteer nurses.
The Cape Town correspondent of The
Daily Telegraph says that Lord Roberts
will reply fully to the charges of Mr..
Burdette- Coutts.
Frederick Trieves, consulting surgeon
to the London hospital, who was re.
Gently at the front, says the charges
come to him as an absolute shock and
are quite incredible. He praises the
medical department.,

Meanwhile Admiral Seymour hello

Several Thousand Japanese have left
Taku for Tien Tsin, and altogether
$4,000 Japanese have landed. Tho in
ternational troops now aggregate nearly
10000, and Japan is preparing to send
10000 more. With British, American
and other troops ordered to go probably
