ALLEGATIONS AGAINST OFFICIALS. (Received June 9, 10.33 p.m.) LONDON, June 9. A Blue Book which has just been issued contains the Congo Government's preliminary reply to certain allegations relative to the natives. Lord Lansdowne on June (ith described the Congo Ministry's memo is unsatisfactory and implied that if the full text of Mr Casement's report were communicated as asked it would be accessible to persons whose conduct was impugned. The Foreign Minister adds that no measure that can be taken will shield witnesses from improper pressure. Strict impartiality could not be attached to an investigation made solely by officers of the State or agents of the concessionary company. He proposed the appo.ntment of a special commission, composed of men of reputation and not connected with the Congo State.
