JUNE 14th. 1900. WM. PRINGLE, . G. CORNElLfl PRINCIPAL. LINDSAY ASSETS Some time ago the official correspon- dence in the Hughes- Hutton case was published. At that time we examined itl and Published the results at some length in these columns. one thing upon which emphasis was then laid was the fact that Gen. Hutton had withheld some of his letters to 001. Hughes and that on this account the Colonel’s replies could not be properly judged, The chief of these emissions mentioned was the General’s letter rebuking Col. Hughes for offering his services directly to Mr. Chamberlain. 1 Below we publish a letter from Col. ' Hughes dealing with the case. Its original was sent by him to Dr. Borden, Minister of Militia, and read as follows. i Upington, Gordonla, 3ist March. 1900. 1 My dear Dr. Borden,â€"From a letter‘ received by a C.I.V. Dispatch Rider today, I learn that the “papers" in the Hutton-Hughes episode are to be moved for. Other matters have engaged my attention for some months; but if “dirty linen” is to be washed; if the case is coming before the public â€"and it is cer- tainly my wish that: it shouldâ€"then the numerous omissions, official and unofficial in the brief prepared by General Hutton, of which you furnished me a copvlast October on the day of sailing, must also appear. And Explains to Dr. Borden how General Hutton used him Un~ fairly and Suppressed the Facts COL. HUGHES HIMSELF WRITES OF THE QUARREL I was surprised-uno I would not be surprised at anything General Hutton would doâ€"but I wondered at his omis- sions from the brief ; and when I saw he was including the private correspondence, the idea never struck me until I read it all through, that he would be so contemp- tible as to publish my private letters to him without also giving a full, honest and frank statement of his language and statements on various previous occasions to me to which my letters are answers. BEATS THE DUTCH. The letter I have received today states that General Hutton saya that, since I came to South Africa, I have apologized to him and withdrawn my letters; and b that, therefore, he has consented to my e securing service here. Could anything 9 be more infamous. Here I have been in South Africa seeking to upbuild the 1: Empire, taking my chances on several e occasions; securing the highest appoint- c ments in the face of Hutton’s intriguing 1 letters, and he does all he can to injure i me. Why even “his wife’s relations” i could not assist him in keeping me down . 1 I could have had as high a position as ‘ second in command of the Canadians 1 before I was here two days, but I would : faccept nothing that did not recognize my : ‘being a Canadian. Hutton’s statement : that he had withdrawn his opposition to me because I apologized, is false. He was obliged to withdraw by a power he dare not for a moment hesitate to obey. The average South African Dutchman, as a type, bears the palm for equivocation, duplicity or “siimness"â€"-a Dutch word for general and consistent unreliability, and barefaced untruthfulnessâ€"but to my mind General Hutton can give them pointers on all. At the urgent request, not of my friends, but of his, 001. Foster and another in higher position, I did last October withdraw ali controversial matter between us. I was informed on October 25th, also by his friends, that inasmuch as the letter of withdrawal was not dated, nor addressed to the Generalâ€"as a matter of fact it was scrawled on a piece of paper with 001. Foster as I hastened to the trainâ€"at the urgent request again of hisi friends, and in order to avoid dissensions among Britishers in the taco of the then declared warâ€"I did withdraw the case. I desire here to state my belief that Col Foster and Gen. Hutton's other friends in urging me to withdraw the disputed questions were not, as has been suggested, in partnership with the General to secure the withdrawal in order to strengthen his case. Col. Foster I believe to be thor- oughly honest. though under Genera; Hutton trampled in the duet. In any event my deeire was to fight Britain's other enemies, the Boer-I. The people of Canada can be trusted to fight General Hutton, who in reallya more dangerous enemy! to Britain than any thousand Boers could be. But I wish the Canadian public to realize that General Button is not. and is not reguded by British officers of prominence here or in the army, as at all representative of theiroiau. As one higher then Hutton told meâ€"“We know him better than you do and think less of him than you do. WELL DONE COLONEL. Howevex. 0h!!! ht. “VIEW hm his been far beyond my most sanguine ex- pectations. It has been my good fortune to make my mark in December in trans- port matters; in January and February in lines of communication affairs all over South Africa; and now I have just yester. day morning relieved Upington, with two Canadians, Phillips of Belleville, and Turpin of Cobourg; two English barris- ters. Hitchins and Phin,z C.I.V. cyclists, both famous University oarsmen ; my interpreter Springhall and some native scouts. We rode sixty-eight miles in twenty-four hours in order to reach here before a large force of the enemy moving on the northern bank of the river, whose object was to destroy the pont here and loot the shopsâ€"for there are 2500 people in this town. On getting to the river after riding all night, I found a commando already back from another direction, but I crossed under fire, chased the enemy numbering seventy-five in one body. and several hundred in another to corn-fields; seized great quantities of rifles; armed the “Bastards” as police, before sunset searched every house in the town and took the arms, and now await the arrival of our troops still two days off. NEAR TO PROMOTION. I heard some time ago at Prieska that I was to be promoted to be A.A. G. Lord Kitchener was with us to Prieska, and I had then twice been in command of our fellows in sharp engagements with the enemy and had so managed my force as ‘ to defeat ten times their number on each loccasion, besides I have been very suc- cessful as Chief Intelligence Oficer for General Settle. who was in command of‘ all the columns under Lord Kitchener to Prieska, and since then is supreme. Col. Drury and Col. Herchmer in the Carnar- von column are also directed by our general. Perhaps this may help my pro- motion too. I think the people of Canada can be safely trusted to dispose of Gen. Hutton, meantime I shall continue to look after a few of the Boers, merely asking your publication of the following omissions by Gen. Hutton from his brie as furnished me in October last, and as I presume, to be submitted to Parliament. , I wired from Father Point re one omis- sion. I gave no more attention to Hutton or to it until to-day. BUTTON LEFT nus on General Hutton’s brief as furnished me by your Department last October omits everything against him. I shall supply some of the emissions now : 1. He omits my official application to him re a corps, an application which how- ever essential from me or any Canadian officer in Canadian military matters, is nevertheless, quite unnecessary from one in Imperial. It was merely designed to be courteous to the General and was not necessary, notwithstanding what a few, very few, “pin head” military critics in Canada may say. I am speaking by, and am borne out by constitutional authority ’and law. By suppressing that letter from you he shows his tricky nature and untitness. l 2. He fails to show that he pigeon'! ho!ei in and did not submit it to you, his minister; thus proving my wisdom in applying direct to you and to Mr. Chamberlain . 3. He omits my application to you. 4. He omits his reprimand to me for having applied to you, his minister. 5. He falls to show that) he did not even acknowledge my ( fiicial application to him; a groves breach of discipline on his part, but he found time to reprimand me ‘twice for writing to you and Mr. Cham- i berlain. 6. He fails to state that he and a cOUple more “distinguished British cfli cars,” who knew practically nothing of Canada or Canadians, had in connection with the agitation I had begun and for years maintained. said in April last, after my again bringing up the question in the House, a. That no Canadian force would cr could be sent: to South Africa In case of b. That if one were sent it would only be a couple oflhundred men (.fthe permanent Corps. W81. e. That in answer to my statement that if a force of 200 to 400 representa- tive Canadians were seat I should com- mand them; but if a regiment went then Colonel Otter, as my senior, should be given the command; or that if only 200 permanent corps men went Colonel Otto. should leedâ€"Gneral Hutton said “No: Colonel Otter is not the men. If a force should go I have selected another to com- mand." This occurred as early an April, 1899. f. That on more than one occasion he named Lt.-Col. Bucban as the man he selected. 9:. That he sought to and actually did exert influence to make that cfiicer appear a success in his staff course, and his con- duct: in removing Col. Otter last August from command of the R.R.C. I. 18 known to all concerned. b. That, when challenged with the fact that he. HuttonJon his impaction at London a short time previously, had de- clared Col. Buchan unfit for the service and incompetent, be freely gave the ex- cuse that he had changed his course to please a certain distinguished Imperial officer in Canada. 7. General Hutton omits in his brief that he had repeatedly declared Canadian militiamen were unfit to serve in the field short of three years training as regulars, and then only it led by Imperial officers. Be made the definite statement as late 38 August, again, as if he meant it to be final : “I tell you you might as well try to fly to the moon as to take the field alongside British regulars short of three years training and then only if led by British oficers.” 8. He fails to state that long before the month of August last, he had shown his want of faith in Canadians â€"the very people he afterwards begged the British Government to let him Iead,â€"-had openly shown his determination to ignore them and to make them subservient and sub- ordinate to British regulars and Canadian permanent corps officers. 9. General Hutton omits : a. My circular letter to the press which he termed a violation of Sec. 98. b. Also he omits his interviews wxit- ten or dictated by himself for the press. which I traced home to him. c. He fails to admit that: he is wrong in fact. and in both constitutional and military law, as anyone with :5 particle of honor would admit on being proven wrong as he was by the highest authorities. Yet he wishes to leave it to appear still as if I had violated some trifling military isw, when I had not. 10. He fails to show that he boasted of his position in this; and declared that he had a distinguished Imperial oficer in Canada at his back; and that the xniuister or the government dare not move, or attempt to thwart him, or they would be dismissed or given a chance to vacate the Treasuary benches, and that he darkly hinted that such intimation had been ‘given the government. He also ciaimed that he had Hughes fast, for he (Hutton) could influence Sir Charles Topper and other of my leaders; besides be controlled Moberiey Bell of the London Times. He further fails to state in his brief that he boasted th at he had upset one government -â€"New South Walesâ€"and would another in Canada, if the mlnlater did not yield to him. 11. He fails to show, too. that he never forgave me for refusing in ‘April last year, to violate both civil and mili- tary law and the constitution. He per- sonally ordered me or any militia officer a member of parliament not to speak on any military question in the House of Commons without his permission. ANGER JL'STIFIED The public of Canada may note these factsâ€"General Hutton has been obliged to retract his letters against me here; he has been obliged to cable me an ofler of a commission in Strathcona’e Horse. F ur- therâ€"every British officer here, who heeded Hutton’s letter against me has proven a failure. a circumstance which proves that “one’e wife’s relations" may get a min a place he cannot fill. I wish these facts and omissions in Hutton’s brief relating to the case made public. It may be my luck to be of those destined to fertilize with my bones the soil of this far-away land; thereforein jus‘ice to my son. to my family and friends these facts MUST be published. I can give much more, but not now. I did not begin the fight with Hutton. Imereiy declined to be his puppet. I have been right. and far within the limit-I of truth in all I did. My motives and aims were purely patxiotle. Hutton sought to dishonor me from Aprii last. I was and am ready to his my chances, I have done so repeatedly already, the same as any soldier.
