SICK NEW ZEALANDERS.
[per press association.]
Wellington, April 10.
The Premier has received a cablegram from the Governor of Cape Colony stating that 1837 W. Stuck is dangerously ill at Johannesburg. The message was by request repeated but came a second time without alteration. On roll of the New Zealand Contingents this number is allotted E. R. Sheehan. Another cable message received states that 1334 A. Stack is dangerously ill, and that 562 H Williams is also ill at Springfontein. The other day it was reported that 512 Herbert George Williams was ill. This confusion and mutilation of numbers and names in advices from the front is causing trouble and annoyance to the authorities here, who are charged with the duty of reporting to parents and next of kin the messages as to the welfare and movements of men oh service.
