THE SPIONKOP INCIDENT.
Press Association. Electric Telegraph, Copyright. London, March 26. A brisk correspondence is proceeding in the newspapers over the Spionkop incident. , General Buller denies that he commanded at Spionkop. He declares that Ito write an account of what really occurred would be contrary to army regulations. Mr Balfour maintains that General Buller was Commander-in-Chief, and j hints that the documents covering the affair are likely to be published. ! General Buller expresses the hope that his words will be published without manipulation. Mr Balfouv retorts that the only manipulation oi General Buller 1 s despatches was the excision of a sentence criticising Lieutenant - General Sir Chas. Warren, and the only omission from Lord Eoberts's despatches was made solely with a view to sparing General Buller's feelings and to maintaining his reputation.
