BRANDON AND TRENCH.
TO BE PUNISHED SEPARATELY. By Telegraph.—Preos Association.—Copyright. BERLIN, 28th December. The two British officers, Captain Brandon and Lieutenant Trench, sentenced to four years' imprisonment each for espionage at Borkum, are to be confined separately. Trench will be confined at Gra'tz, and Brandon at Wesel. Their separation is attributed to a fear that they may consult-and reconstruct the observations 'they had made and of which they were deprived. [Last month, m what, ha& been described as a disgraceful article, the Berliner Neueste Nacfirichten demanded that the then untried English prisoners should be made incapable of reporting what they had seen. Describing the prisoneis as dangerous persons who could carry in their heads what they had not got on paper, the journal expressed the hope that they might be subjected to a long period of detention in Germany "with appropriate mental treatment" (unter entspi-echendei' geistiger Zerstreuung), &o that they might not retain too clear a memory of what they had seen.]
