DAMAGE TO THE SUGAR CROP DF FROST.
PANAMA, Feb. 24.-The 10th OF Februarv
will be remembered in Antigua as the occs.
sion Of frost, the heaviest in the memorY Of
man, occasioning damage which has no rec-
ord in the history Of the country since il,
conquest by the Spaniards. The frost w.s
so keen that ice was formed in many rlaces
and on the following morning it could be coL
lected quite readily. Even in protected
places, such rs the balconies Of houses, ics
formed in water vessels and was foand ot
very respectable thickness. In the morning
after tha frost the cane fields and coFes
plantations appeared as though a fire bad
passed through them. The leaves Of th&
coffee-the most vigorous trees as well u
the tenderest shoot-were discolored, and
shriyeled, and broke to pieces at the slight.
est touch. Several years must necessarily
elapse before the plantations can be restored
to their usually healthy condition. Tna
sugar-cane was killed as it stood. 50 that tha
loss in this respect is confined in amount ia
that now actually uncut, although all OF thlt
will scarcely be total loss. The amountot
damage is calculated to be between s., ,WQ,m
and s., 000,000. 49,

Special Dispatch 1Ae Chicago Tribune.
DUBUQUE, Ia, March 5.-The roads leading
into the country are in a terrible condition,
and it is almost impossible for farmers to
reach the city. The snow has tlrifted fifteen
feet high in many localities. Mineral holes
are partly covered with snow at the mouth.
which makes it dangerous for travellers to
leave the road. This morning E. Burton,
while coming to the city, lost the road and
drove bis team into shaft sixty feet deep.
Fortunately the harness was old, gave way,
and left the wagon and inmates on the edge
of the hole. Both horses were killed out
right. The sun came out pretty strong to-
day, and a thaw is looked for. No trains
have reached or left the city since last
Wednesday.

other hands were busy digging out the bad
places. The Chicago & Northwestern train

GEN. ROBERTS DEPARTURE.
Special Gable.
LONDON, March 5.-Gen. Roberts left Pad
dington Station at noon to-day for South
Africa. Ten thousand persons were present.
Among them were the Duke of Cambridge,
Mr.. Childers. Secretary of War, Lord Che!ns-
ford, and Sir Rartle Frere The crowd
formed in the avenue and at the station, Some
hundreds of ladies strewed the path of
Gen. Roberts with flowers. The crowd was
much larger and more enthusiastic than the
asselnblage that gathered when Sir Garnet
Wolseley went to Zuiuland. Gen. Roberts will
earnest operations will not commence until
his arrival, the feeling Of England regarding
the Beers still remains the same.
THEY MUST BE BEATEN
in order to save British prestige, whatever
that may be. While everybody admits the
injustice Of the war and the Justice
Of the Beers claims to independence,
nearly everybody clamors for revenge. Jou-
bert's sword is said to be dripping with En-
glands best blood, therefore the Beers must
be punished. 1.-THE Beers may fight well,"
says a rabid paper; $50 does the African
lion, but England has both the right and the
authority to veto his obstructlveness, to re-
strain his barbarities, and to chastise his
belligerence." Ammong the few
VOICES IN FAVOR OF THE BoEEs,
the Datlu NclUs. on Friday morning, had a
striklngly earnest editorial, evidently in
spired bs the Reform Club, admitting
the wrong to the Beers in the Shepstone
annexation, and said that wrong has been
done, and that wrong, If any available
means can be found, must be set
right" In earlier days these views
expressed BY the official Liberal organ would
hare been taken as indicating the views Of
the Liberal Cabinet, and they may be SO Of
certain members thereof to-day. Gladstone,
Bright, and Chamberlin, the champions OF
freedom in times past are said to be deeply
distressed about affairs in the Transvaai,
and they may yet prove themselves possessed
Of loftier ideas Of England's duty than the
rANDER1NG TO THE BRUTAL c14AM0R
of the 4'piebs" for revenge. Thinking peo-
Pile regret the disgraceful war against men
who have proved themselves worthy to be
ranked with the old Puritans. II Mr..
Bright or Mr.. Gladstone were not on the
Treasury Benches, and their conduct were
free, they might easily succeed, in view Of
the proverbial 6ckleness Of English public
opinion, in bringing the mass OF the poDula-
ton to support measures Of justice to the
Beers worthy Of the highest craftsmanship.
AS Gen. Roberts cannot arrive fur some weeks
at the seat Of operations, it is confidently
hoped that the peace negotiations, broken
of by Gen. Colley's disastrous movements on
last Sunday, may in the meantime be re-
sumed and brought to successful ISSUE
The only obstacle in the way is the sense
less clamor for the maintenance Of British

Special Dhpatch to Tic Chicago Tribune.
MONMOUTH, ILL.,, March 5.-rhe Pacific ex-
press on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad, which left Chicago Friday morn~
ing, arrived here about 6 p. H., and was re-
ceived with great rejoicing, as it was the first
train from Chicago since Thursday morning,
since which time we have had neither mail
or copies Of The TRIBUNE or other papers.
About p. m. to-day an express train came
in on the St. Louis division. The road be-
tween here and St. Louis has been cleared,
but it Is still blocked north Of here. Desper-
ate efforts are being made to open the road,
large gangs OF sllovelers are employed: Such
never before been experienced. The hotels
have reaped a rich harvest as they have been
full of belatcd passengers the last few days.
