London, June 1.-The report of the committee on military education and training issued today, furnishes the strongest official c0rroborat tion of the inefiiciency of the officers Of the Brit ish army. The committees report, which is based upon the evidence Of the officers themselves. from the command CT in chief downward, fills fcrty-eight printed pages with caustic criticisms Of the existing system. Witness are unanimous in saying that the junior officers are lamentably deficient in mil itary knowledge, in a desire to acquire knowledge, and in zeal.
 The cOmmittee finds that the young officers will not work unless they are compelled to do so, that "keenness is out of fashion, and that it is not correct form'' The committee declares that many officers do not possess sn elementary education. The report con- demns the system of both "Woolwich and Sandhurst," where the condition is far from satisfactory the instructors having no inducement to teach the ca dets, much less to work.
 With a view of diminishing the cX- penseS of the officers belonging to the cavalry regiments the report recom-

After considering the engineering difficulties of the route, which he regarded as very serious, he entered upon dcnunclatloH of the methods of the Panama Canal xompany, which he declared Were the most corrupt in the history of he world. He warned congress that TO surer way would be found to defeat the contsructiol of any canal than to adopt the Spooner amendment, as the United States could have 10 connection with the Panama route without. becoming involved in the schemes of the French adventurers from which it Wculd find it impossible to eXtricate itself.

 Perhaps the penultimate paragraph is the most complete of all. "So long as mediccrity is permitted to pass mus ter says the committee, and signal ability meets with no substantial rec OgnitiCn. it is useless to hope for my results favorable to the regulations. Nothing but inducements. in the shape of reward for good work, either in peace or in war can raise the standard of knowledge through the command to the ranks
 The committee therefore recommends An honest system of promotion by merit, following on tests hcnorably conducted and honestly reported on.-' The report plainly hints that officers can hardly be expected to work so long as the present system of advancement. through social influence, is in vog1e. CT so long as efficiency has nothing whatever to do With the selection of officers for desirable appointments
 The committee recommends, among other things that more commissions be offered to the colonies and that officers be compelled to know either French or German.

BOERS MUST WALK
 TO SOUTH AFRICA
The British Embassy Unable to Help
 Refugees in This Country.

Washington, June 7.-Inquiry at the British embassy here developed the fact that the application of Denver Boers for transportation to their homes has not reached the embassy. Officials do not yet know how it would be acted upon.
 In cases of actual distress the en- bassy in the past has been able to eX- tend some relief to stranded English subjects by securing for them trans portation to the seaport where they would be able to ship for home, but there is no fund sufficient to defray the expense of the general return of the many Boers in the United States to South Africa. It is therefore probable that the embassy can do nothing in the matter in the absence of special grant of funds and authority from London.
