(Received June 29, 2.45 p.m.)
LONDON, 28th June,
Lord Newton, Paymaster-General, stated that two thousand British prisoners have been sent to Libau and Windau (on the coast of' Russia), which American officials have not hitherto been permitted to r visit. There was reason to fear that the prisoners were subjected to considerable hardships. There was no justification for reprisals, because the German prisoners whom Britain sent to work in France were treated with the utmost kindness.
