The Staff Officer of the Contingent Arrives in Kingston--Says That the British Authorities Did Everything Possible For the Men. Major H. A adjutant at the lege, who served as staff officer the Canadian coronation contingent, returned to the city yesterday ater noon from Montreal When seen tg cay by a Whig reporter, he spoke in an appreciative manner of the treat ment aecorded the Canadians in Lon don "When we arrivea at Rimouski we received marked papers telling of the awiul way in which the Canadians were treated. These reports astound- ed vs, for we never dreamed that any complaint woula be made. The British authorities were not responsible for the postponement of the coronation on account of his majesty's illness; neither were they responsible for the disagreeable weather It the contingent's quarters dria palace were too far Panet, R.C.A., stafi Royal military eol at Alexan removed irom the centre of London to make it | agreeable to the men. It took over an hour for them to reach the centre of London. But in this matter their complaint--if complaint it was -was shared by the other colonial contin gents, Efforts were made towards remedying this matter, the men being granted hali rates on the railways. "As to there being friction amon the officers, | have this to say : § have never beem in any camp or con tingent where the, officers pulled bet ter together than they did in the cor onation corps. This contingent was or ganized on board ship and the organ ization worked well. Lieut.-Col. Pel latt, the officer commanding, was po pular with evervone. The officers had no complaint to make, and so far as I knew (and 1 made enquiries) neither had the men. The grievances were circulated by a few grumblers, and these do not reflect the opinions of the rank and file. "Maj.-Gen. Cooke, officer in charge of the camp, and his staff did everything possible for us. They put themselves out to help us. The authorities did everything in their power to make it comfortable for the Canadian soldiers, The camp quarters were exceptionally comfortable. Of course there was rain and raim makes mud in the British Isles the same as in other parts of the world. "There was one respect, however, in which I think the members of the con- tingent had a cause for grievance. This was in the matter of pay, of which the British government had nothing whatever to do. The Canadi an soldiers were paid by the home (dominion) government only fifty cents a day, while the other colonials received five shillings, or 81.25, a dav. The Canadian officers were also great ly underpaid when compared with that received by the other colonial of ficers."" WANT A DRY DOCK. the Contractors to Make Repairs. Montreal, July 17.~The harbor com- missioners have decided to urge on the dominion government the carrying out of the construction of a dry dock, at this port, which was a part of the original plans for the harbor improve- ments. It is claimed the need of a dry-dock here is becoming more ur- gent. The city threatens fo seize half a million dollars on deposit by street paving contractors unless repairs call- ed for under the contracts are at once made. [If the money in question is seized it is the intention of the city to go ahead and make the needed re pairs with the money deposited by the contractors as a guarantee.

Washington, July 17.--Secretary Root brought from Oyster Bay the case of Gen. Jacob H. Smith, tried by court martial -at Manila, on account of orders issued to Gen. Waller. Gen Smith was found guilty of the charge and sentenced to be admonished by the reviewing authority. The presi- dent has admonished Gen. Smith and retired him under the law which pro vides that officers having reached the age of sixty-two years may be retired at will by the president. Secretary Root supplements the reprimand of president Roosevelt with a long cireular in which he explains the conditions which resulted in the court martial of Gen. Smith and shows that although Smith issued the "kill and burn" order, as a matter of fact very few persons were killed as a result of that order, the casualties be- ing eonfined almost wholly to the el even natives killed under Maj. Wal ler's direction. ------------------ AGAIN ACTIVE. Tremendous Explosions From New Zealand's Geyser.
