COMPROMISING CORRESPONDENCE.
LoNBON, August 24. The society newspaper Truth publishes copies of letters written by its proprietor, MrJI. .Labouchere, M.P., to Mr Montagu*RiVhite, who was Consul General for tho Transvaal in London before tho outbreak of tho war. These letters were found at Blcernfontein. Truth also publishes a characteristic letter to Mr Chamberlain.
Amongst the correspondence found at Pretoria, from British members of Parliament, were letters from Mr John Ellis, Liberal M.P. for tho Eushcliffo Division of Nottingham, and Dr Gavin Clark, Liberal M.P. for Caithness, at one time Consul-General for the South African Eepublic.
These letters, which wore written ten days prior to the outbreak of hostilities, recommended President Kruger to seize all passes for the frontier, although it was admitted such a step would have a bad moral effect in Great Britain.
