qualities of the man fighting against

"Cronie and his 1000 men have GER
tainly revealed a heroism never sur
passed in the history of our race.
Surrounded by an army of $4,000 men,
with ITO guns continually pouring
shells on their position, they have
stood at bay for days. 1t is only what
those of us who know the man ex-
pected. of Cronie. \
"No~ Roer has such influence over
his followers. They believe him in

The slightest sign of shrinking from
anyone under him brings few words
from the general that cut like whip
cords and brace up the waverer like a

London, Feb. a7.-Majuba is

Great British victory!" These eN-
pressions are being shouted all over
London today, yet there are few out
ward signs of the natural joy that
Roberts dispatch really caused. The
capitulation of Cronje has been looked
upon as almost Il certainty for a week
past and now that it has come en-
thusiasm finds itself discounted by
anticipation. The magnitude of the
success of Little Bobs" is almost
overlooked in the fact that it

Majuba hill and wiped out the dis
honor of nineteen years standing.

ment upon his happy coincidence they
do not forget file splendid bravery of
the enemy. Ne ST. James Gazette

The Westminster Gazette, which is
inclined to be pro-Boer. says:
"Ndmiration for the desperate valor
of Cronie is mingled with anger at
the necessity imposed upon us of pur-
chasing victory at this cost. Let us
remember Paardeburg, it we like. but
forget Majiuba and have done with the
whole train of misleading associations
and mischievous ideas which have
gathered around that unhappy MEM
CRY.
Further details of the dramatic sur
render of Cronie at Paardebrrg are
eagerly awaited. The Boer COM
mander's force is variously estimated
AT from 1000 to 5000. Speculation is
rife as to how soon Roberts will be
able to press OH to Bloemfontein, but
before he enters the capital of the
Free State he will undoubtedly have
to overcome a powerful force and
take strong entertainments.
The news of Cronie's surrender was
received with unbounded satisfaction
at Windsor. The queen Immediately
telegraphed her congratulations to
Roberts and his troops.
