Show Irish Soldiers Loyal to Britain. Waterford, Ireland, Dec. 17. Tha story printed in the Freeman's Journal to the effect that the reeerves of the Royal Irish regiment, while embarking on their way to South Africa at this port WedneEday, sang "God Save Ireland," Ire-land," cheered the Boers and President Kruger and threw away their rifles into the river is absolutely unfoundsd. Nothing whatever occurred among the men beyond tho pathetic leave-takings which have been witnessed at all similar simi-lar embarkations. |
