MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he can explain why the death of Private C. Barker, who died from enteric fever at Kloof Camp on 15th January, was not announced till 10th July, six months after his decease.

*MR. WYNDHAM

The information was furnished in a telegram from Cape Town dated the 9th instant. A telegram has been despatched to Cape Town questioning the accuracy of the date of death.
