BALFOUR AND BULLER. --- -- An Acrimonious Correspondence Between Them. London, March 26.--An acrimonious correspondence between A. J. Balfour and Gen. Buller has been published. Mr. Balfour contends that Gen. Buller was in chief command at the battle of Spion Kop, while Gen. Buller denies thix assertion. To his contention, Mr. Baliour adds : ""Theré is no reason why all the Spion Kop despatches should not be published." To this Gen. Buller rejoins that he hopes the despatches will be published without manipulation. Yesterday Mr. Balfour replied to Gen. Buller, protesting against the latter's insinua- tion and declaring that "the only manipitlation which had been exercised with regard to Gen. Buller's despatch was the excision of a single sentence criticising Sir Charles Warren, whilst the omissions from lord Roberts' des- patches relating to operations in Na: tal were made, said Mr. Baliour, "solely for the purpose of, if possible, sparing vour feelings and maintaining your military reputation." ] RAILWAY PROPOSALS.
