War Telegrams
Lord Wolseley has stopped aU Press telegrams from the Soudan. The public will therefore have to rest satisfied with such official telegrams as may be sent to the "War Office, and which that office may consider advisable to communicate to the public. "We do not believe for a moment Lord "Wolseley has taken this step on his own responsibility. It is more Ukely that Mr Gladstone has given the instructions himself. The Post says : " That the English Press wiU ere long manage to re-establish communications and get at the facts despite Lord Wolseley and the War Office, we have veiy little doubt ; -but the painful suspicion created by the present embargo on aU newspaper correspondence from the seat of war will tend to inflame rather than appease the indignation so generaUy felt by the British people with the Gladstone Government for the vacillation and indecision to which poor Gordon has faUen a victim. They wiU think that there is a good deal more to conceal than is probably really the case.
