GENERAL HUTTON.
USE OF CYPHER DESPATCHES, (Received May 28. 1.5 a.m.) SYDNEY, May 27.
General Hutton, on being interviewed in Sydney, said his absence in Queensland prevented him contradicting the erroneous impression about his cypher despatch to the War Office, which was simply a receipt for the usual cypher in use between all responsible generals in time of war. He added: —No general responsible to one Government could, without an unheard of lapse of duty, communicate to another matters affecting official responsibilities except through a Minister. He was the very last to contemplate taking such action.
