EXPOSURES
REGARDING
HOSPITALS
In South Africa the Subject Of Inter
est to England = MiSmanags-
ment is Charged.
ROBERTS STANDS BY DOCTORS.
Claims Sickness Was Due to Ex-
haustion, Resulting From Long
Fatiguing Marches.

LONDON. June sO.-The exposures
regarding the hospitals in South Africa,
which began with three-column letter
in the Times Monday, from Mr.. W. A.
Burdett-Coutts, conservative member
Of parliament for Westminster, d"'.il-
ing the great suffering endured by SOL
diers, owing to mismanagement, led to
a number of questions in the house of
commons to-day. In response the gov
ernment leader, Mr.. A. j. Balfour, the
first lord OF the treasury, made long
statement during the course Of which
he said that so far as the government
was aware not any of the aufterlngs of
the sick or wounded were due to Insult
aciency in the supplies sent out.
The war Office has issued cOrrespon-
dence with Lord Roberts, regarding the
charges of Mr.. Burdett-coutts. on
June his attention was called In brief
telegrams to the allegations. and also
to other complaints of a general break
down in the hospital system. Two days
later he replied in part as follows:
Arrangements in Good Order.
"The principal medical officer report
ed that the arrangements at Kroonstad
were in all respects in good order and
Lord Methuen said they were thorough
ly satisfactory. 1 was deeply distress
ed at being unable to make suitable ar
rangements for the sick on our first ar
rival at Kroonstad, but It is obvious
that certain amount OF suffering is in
separable from the rapid advance of a
large army into an enemy's country"
On June 20 the war Office cabled Lord
Roberts that dlsquieting reports re-
garding the hospital we're aCcumulat-
ing, and asked him II anything could be
done and particularly whether more
nurses were needed.
on June 25, Lord Roberts replied, say
ing that he did not wish to shirk re-
sponslbIllty or to screen the shortcom-
Ings of the medical corps and he sug-
gested committee of inquiry.
Sick From Exhaustion.
He said there had been an abnormal
number of sick at Bloemfontein, due to
the exhaustlng nature of the march
and the terribly unsanItary condition
of the camp at Paardeberg, where the
only water available for drinking how-
ed from the Boer camp higher up.
where the river was crowded with de-
composing animals and also with a
considerable number of wounded after
the fight on March 10.
To improvIse accommodations at
Bloemfonteln for such a number, which
had become two thousand before he
left Bloemfonteln, was no easy task,
said Lord Roberts. No tents were car
rled and the public buildings had to be
turned into hospitals. In three months
there had been $3.50 admissions to the
hospital Of patients suffering from en-
terlc fever, while the deaths numbered
1870, about 81 per cent. Lord Roberts
observed that he did not know whether
this would be an abnormal rate in civil
hospitals in peace times; but II the rate
were abnormal it was due to the ex-
hausted state OF the men and not to the
neglect of the medical corps.

ADMIRABLE COURAGE

Displayed by Admiral Seymour and
his Men When Surrounded by
ohinsss-Twenty Thousand Japa-
nsse Landed.
LONDON, June 20, IA m.-The cas-
ualties Of the international force at
tacklng Tlen TsIn were: Americans
killed, 8; wounded, 2. British killed, 2;
wounded, /. Germans killed. Isl
wounded, q. Russians killed. 10;
wounded, 81.
The gun fire of the Americans and
British is described as beautiful"
After the relieving force pushed on to
relieve Admiral Seymour, Chinese reg
ulars, under General Nieh, says a dis
patch from Shanghai, again attacked
Tlen Tsin flercely and bombarded the
foreign settlement with terrible hre.
Colonel Dorward, British, commanded
the column that relieved Admiral sey-
mour. American marines participated
in the achievement. The admiral was
found entrenched and surrounded by
immense masses OF Chinese, who were
driven of by the relieving column after
brisk fight. His men had made q
brilliant resistance, never falling in
courage for fifteen days of continuous
fighting. During ten days the men
were on quarter rations; they started
with provisions for ten days, and they
could have held out day or two lon
ger.
Tried Night Retreat.
The column was a few miles beyond
Lofa. DeemIng it hopeless to attemp to
break through the hordes, Admiral sey-
mour assigned a night retreat toward
Tien Tsin; but he came into collision
with strong force of Chinese arriving
from the northwest and could neither
advance or retreat. There was nothing
to do but to intrench and to stand
siege. He vainly attempted hellograph'
ic communication.
seymours men caught several Chi
nese who said the legations had been
burned and the ministers killed. Others
said that the ministers had been i'm
prlsoned.
The Chinese displayed fanatlcal cOur-
age in the attack.
-Four thousand Russians left Tien
Tsin four days after Admiral Seymour.
but they never got in touch with him.
Railway communication from Taku
to Tlen Tsln has been restored and the
force IS advancing toward Pekln.
Fighting was in progress Wednesday in
the vicinity of Use Chulin. Large pre-
paratlons ure being made to support
