A KITCHENER RUMOR.
QUESTION IN HOUSE OF COMMONS. London, August 13. Sir Richard Cooper, in the House of Commons, asked the Secretary for War if he had any official information as to alleged divulgence by an officer on Lord Kitchener’s staff, who went down on the Hampshire, of secret information respecting the journey of this vessel to Russia. Sir L. Worthington-Evans: I have no official information of the character suggested and the circumstances connected with the loss of the Hampshire do not reflect in any way on any members of the late Lord Kitchener’s staff. I Sir IL Cooper: Is it not a fact that confidential information has been sent to the right hon. gentleman’s department by H.M. Commissioner who went to Berlin shortly after the war? Sir L. Worthington-Evans: My answer is a careful answer to the qnes- . tion. [ Admiral Sir R. Hall: Is it not a ; fact that the selection of the Hamp- • shire was only made at the last minute. and that her route was nnt finally ‘fired until the forenoon of the day she sailed, .. Sir L. Worthington-Evans: I believe that is so. j : -- -•
