RETURN OF THE SCOUTS. COOL TRATMENT IN PALMERSTOX. [»T TELEGRAPH — PJLRSS ASSOCIATION.] PALMERSTON N., 15th April. Acting-Captain Dalrymple and hit Dominion Scouts left Patmerston for Wellington by train at 5 o'clock this evening. They did not act under police instructions while here, nor were their movements known to the police. The Scouts were somewhat disgusted with the coolness with which they had been received here. The most censorious references to the Scouts, however, appeared in the Wellington papers, and it is suggested that the pungency of these might have been inspired by the recent incidents at the Kitchener camp, in vefcich Captain Dalrymple and Lieut. Housten figured, and which were the subject of a subsequent enquiry. POINT-BLANK DENIAL BY CAPTAIN DALRYMPLE. Captain Dalrymple, when seen by a Post reporter this morning, denied absolutely three statements made about the Dominion Scoots and himself. Tbe statements were :—: — **" 1. That the men worked in uniform. 2. That they did not act under police instructions. 3- That the pungency of references in the Wellington papers "might have been inspired by the recent incidents at the Kitchener camp, in which Captain Dalrymple and Lieutenant Housten figured, and which were the subject of a subsequent enquiry." To these statements Captain Dalrymple replied :— 1. The men did not work in uniform. 2- Tho Scoats did act under police instruction. 2> Captain Dalrymple was oever in the Kitchener camp at all.
