PRIVATE HOUSES LOOTED. INSANITARY CONDITION OF THE CITY. FLIGHT OF FOREIGNERS. (Received May 31, 8.55 a.m.) LONDON, 30lh May. Refugees report that the private houses generally in Johannesburg have been looted by the Boers since the exodus of British inhabitants afc the commencement of the war. The sanitation of the city has been completely neglected while the war has been in progress and is now in a shocking state. On the approach of Lord Roberts's columns a great flight of foreign residents in the city took place. Some thousands of the fugitive Outlanders, formerly in Johannesburg, are registering their names with the army authorities as desirous of returning to their properties directly the issue of military passes for such purpose is instituted.
