CONTINENTAL CALUMNIES.
MONSTROUS ACCUSATIONS ; AGAINST BRITISH TROOPS. REPLY BY LORD ROBERTS. ABSOLUTELY BASELESS. • London, January 3. The Continental calumnies of the British army have been acutely renewed, especially in Germany, where the newspapers make monstrous accusations. They state that the soldiers and officers ravished one-third of the Boer women and children, who were also handed over to the Kaffirs. The statements are based on the authority of alleged eye-witnesses. There is intense indignation in Britain regarding these calumnies. (Received January 5, 4.45 p.m.) London, January '4. Lord Roberts, replying to a German lady's statements in the newspaper Deutsoenblatt and other publications, in reference to the alleged violating of Boer women and girls and the removal to Pretoria- of females above 12 years of age from Irene concentration camp for immoral purposes, declares that the charges are absolutely baseless.
