§ * SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the Undersecretary of State for War whether the Government have now received despatches with reference to the recent loss in convoy, prisoners, and Horse Artillery guns at Koorn Spruit.
§ * SIR CHARLES DILKEIs there any reason to suppose that a despatch is on its way?
§ * MR. WYNDHAMI presume so. The delay is most unusual, but last Saturday was the first day on which any steamer could arrive with written information.
