The Surrender OF Tokar.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-The greatest excitement
rcgns in Parliament and throughout London
One account says that Maccawi, the govern
er, and Yakoob with $50 soldiers left the
fort Wednesday and had a parley with the
rebels. When they returned they announced
that they were going to surrender themselves.
This caused great commotion, as many of the
garrison refused to give way, hoping succor
could still reach them. Their protests were
of no avail and the rebels terms were ac-
cepted. 1t is not believed that the popua-
tation was put to the sword, and il is under
stood the conditions of the surrender provid-
ed that their lives should be spared.
