BRITISH RULE IL SOUTH AFRICA
Over Awards on Losses

Oissatisfac ct ion Over Awards on Losses
in Boer War Is widespread.
The johannesburg correspondent OF the
London Times says dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed in various parts of the country
with the hardness in the awards Of COM
pensation for the losses. The compensa-
ton commissions appointed TO settle
claims for damages done by British
troops have PAID only a small number Of
communicating notes. Out Of $4,000
claims registered but 10000 have been
disposed OF. The commissions are con-
tinually liable to change OF personnel and
repeated inconsistency in judgments Is
alleged. The correspondent says he I'M
derstands that both the civil and military
authorities are anxious that the military
commissions Be abolished and that the
whole work Of compensation be turned
over to the civil government. The delay
in doing this is caused by the indecision
of the home government. This, says the
correspondent is one of the cases where
friction could be obviated by allowing
free hand to the colonial government.
