Charges Of Murder Were Not Sustaiacd. 10 PUBLISH DESPATCHES AS TO THE FIGHT AT SPION KOP. Warning Readers Against Consid- ering Seriously the Charges of Cruelty Brought Against the British Army. London, April 8.~Lord Kitchener's despatch to the war office, yesterday, states that the British, columns report seventeen Boers killed, six wounded, 157 prisoners, and thirty-one surren- ders since March 31st. The Boer casu- alties in the engagement of March ist and April Ist, at Kleinhardts River and Boschman's Kop, are not inchuled in these figures. At. the low- est they are counted as thirty killed and eighty wounded. Commandant Erasmus was killed on April 3rd. . The Daily Mail prints a note warn ing its readers against taking serious ly the allegations of cruelty against the British army, which previous ex- perience, it says, has shown are gen erally exaggerated when the charges are not baseless, Nevertheless, the pa- or gives prominence to Gen. De larey's charges, and, it adds, that its correspondent assures it that the re port is unquestionably an authentic document from Gen. Delarey. The war office announces that all despatches relating to the fight at Spion Kop will be published. Kritzinger has been acquitted of the four charges of murder, and is being well treated as an ordinary prisoner of war. A Trooper's Statement. Liverpool, April 7.~A former troop er of the Bushveldt carbineers, who has returned here, is quoted as saving that the convicted Australian officers, belonging to that corps, since dis banded, murdered from thirty-five to forty persons. . As an instance of their cold-bloodedness, the trooper relates how three Dutch children, two bro thers, ten ana twelve vears of age, re- epectively, and their little sister, ar rived at the carbineers' camp to sur- render, in order to be given food. The girl and one of the boys were wound- ed, The uninjured boy took his little brother on his back and was carrying him off when a secona shot killed both boys. The girl died shortly after wards, * Have Little Faith. New York, April 8.--A special cable to the Tribune from The Hague, says: "There is litsle faith © among Boer sympathizers here that peace is im: minent in South Africa. Hearts are hardened in consequence of the con: ference held here and at Utrecht, and the Boer convoys and refugees are as- serting, in a louder key than ever, that the war will last four years long- er, and that there can be no peace without independence,' The despatch adds : "There are the strongest reasons for believing that r. Kruger and his associates have not been in direct communication for a long time with the burghers fight ing in the field. Mr. Kruger himseli is old, enfeebled and worn, and takes little interest in the negotiations now in progress. His associates control the action of the broken old man ex copt in money maiters. He retains a strong grip upon what remains in the war chest." A London cable to. the Tribune says: "Further details which are published of the engagement with Delarey at Hart's river, in the Transvaal, em phasize the fact that the chief honors of the fight which was very severe went to the Canadians."
