CASES OF GASTRO-ENTERITIS. (Per United Press Association.) ■WELLINGTON, February 10. Consequent upon rumours circulated concerning the health of the soldiers at Featherstone camp, Surgeon-General Henderson has made a statement in which he points out that there has been a number of complaints of gastro-en-terltis and that the patients in hospital is twenty-four. But none of the cases are serious. From inquiries he finds that the complaint is prevalent in the surrounding villages and in AVellington itself.
