tributed much towards formulating the
bases upon which the present empire is
founded. In the production of "Freder-
lex the Great" by Lewis Morrison every
effort has been made to not only present
the important personages who sur
rounded the king, but also to reproduce
certain episodes and events from the
career Of this ruler with truthfulness to
locality and detail. That in this Mr..
Morrison has been successful is percep-
tibly demonstrated by the enormous
success that has attended this his latest
and greatest effort There will be a
popular matinee tomorrow for the Wo-
men and children. Prices % cents and

EARLY AFRICAN WAR NEWS

DER no ROBERTS.
A Report from krOonstadt That Gen
Gatacre Has Been Defeatcd-Rcport
Not Credited In Lomdon-Ac tivity
About Mafeking.

London, March 22.-Field Marshal
Lord Roberts telegraphs from Bloem-
fontein, under date of March q, as fol-
lows:
So many burghers have expressed a
desire to surrender under the terms of
the last proclamation that l have sent
small columns in various directions to
register their names and take over their
arms.
"A cavalry brigade has gone to the
eastward to Thabanchu, and detach-
ment from Springfontein has occupied
Smithfield, where some Transvaalers
and a wagon with arms and ammuni-
ton were captured. The Scots Guards
are at Edenburg and Reddersburg,
General Clements brigade is marching
hither by way of Philippolis and Faure-
smith,"
A report from Kroonstadt, Orange
Free State, via Pretoria, that the Beers
under the command of General Olivier
had defeated the British troops under
General Gatacre in the vicinity of Beth
ulie is not believed here. A dispatch to
the Daily News from Springfonten,
dated Tuesday, March 90 says that
General Gatacre was "all we'll" and
adds that he and General Brabant had
not lost dozen men in fortnight. The
last advices also placed General Gatacre
about thirty miles north of Bethulie,
where the Beers report says that the
defeat was inflicted This, combined
with the fact that no mention of the
affair was made by Lord Roberts in his
dispatch confirms the belief that the
Kroonstadt advices are erroneous
Reports of diminishing near Lobatsi,
north of Mafeking, while not mention
ing any serious loss to Colosel Plumer's
columns, cause grave anxiety in regard
to his ability to reach Mafeking. Fur
ther news from that quarter is anxious
ly awaited, for in the six days that have
elapsed since the last messages were
sent off serious engagement may have
taken place, though not of Colonel Plu-
mer's seeking. The Beers seem deter
missed not to give up their prey at Ma
feking without fierce struggle.
In reply to the mayor of Cape Towns
request to make "Mafeking Relief Day"
a public holiday, Premier Schreiner
wrote: May the holiday come soon and
may a spirit of general good will and
kindly consideration prevail later.
The Times in it's second edition pub
fishes dispatch from Lourenzo Mar
quez which quotes President Steyn as
saying at Kroonstadt that the Beers
could continue the struggle for six
months longer.
While the Beers and British in the
Orange Free State are taking advantage
of the period of inactivity to enjoy
rest, those on the borders of Natal are
beginning to show activity. A dispatch
from Durham says that the town of
Pomeroy, thirty miles east of Lady
smith, has been burned by the Boess.
A British detachment arriving at Pome-
roy as the Beers evacuated the place
shelled the burghers, but they succeeded
in taking up a strong POSITION in the
hills with force estimated to number
5000 men.
