There is a reason The makers Of Grape-Nuts

SCENES AT THE SURRENDER.
Arrival of the British Troops Was
Quite Unexpected.


Bloemfontein, March 1S.-Lord Roberts
entered the Free State capital to-day,
practically unopposed He lay at Venters
Vlei, fourteen miles away, last night with
Gen. Kelly Kenny's and Gen. Colvilre di-
visions, the guards brigade and the mount
ed infantry.
Gen. French, having cut the railway and
telegraphs, experienced a slight skirmish
with some Beers holding the kopjes south
east of the town. Early in the morning
the cavalry brigade moved forward and
occupied slowly several kopjes which com
manded the Beers.
A few well placed shells from the horse
artillery drove off the enemy. Gen.
French then sent out scouts to feel their
way toward the town, perceiving which
the cores spondents of the Sydney Herald
and the London Daily News, with one
other, galloped forward and entered the
town which wore an every day aspect.
The people were out shopping or for morn
ing walks and at first the three newspaper
men were regarded as townsfolk. When
later it became known that they were the
forerunners. of the British army they were
greeted cordially and conducted to a club
where they met Mr. Fraser of the Execu-
tive Council, the Mayor and other Off
cials. These they persuaded to take car
riages to meet Lord Roberts.
AS the party drove out of the city the
British cavalry. were closing around like
net. The deputation soon arrived opposite
the kopje where Lord Roberts was sta
toned and this correspondent rode for
ward and had the honor of announcing to
the commander-n-chief that Bloemfon-
tein would surrender.
A little later the deputaton began to ap-
proach and Lord Roberts went forward 10
meet them. .-----.--
The scene was picturesque in the eX-
treme A few yards away the guns of a
battery pointed their grim mouths toward
the late position of the Beers, while the
tin roofs of BloemfCntein shone in the
distance.
After salutes had been exchanged,
member of the deputation stepped for
ward and declared that the town wished
to surrender, hoping that Lord Roberts
would protect life and property. He re-
Piled that, provided there was no oppo-
sition he would undertake to guarantee
the security of both. The interview was
very cordial without a sign of soem-
ness 1t struck this correspondent that
the deputation seemed relieved by
the presence of the British troops Lord
Roberts notified the deputation of his in
tention of entering the town in state and
they withdrew to inform the townspeople.
Lord Roberts then made his military
dispositions, ordering the first brigade to
follow him and to take possession of the
town With his staff and the military
attaches he descended the kopje and ar
rived on the plain where he waited until
the cavalry, approached. There he entered
the city, followed by his personal staff
the general staff. the military attaches
and the troops.

Publicly Hanged at Nashville, y. G.
for Murder of Hester.

Raleigh, N. c., March 15.-John Taylor

The drop fell at :09 y. m. Fortune being
pronounced dead in four and a quarter
minutes after the trap was sprung. Taylor
showed signs of !ife eight minutes after
the drop. Both their necks were broken.
SO great was the des re to see the hang
ing that the Nash County Board of Com
missioners made the hanging public. 1t
is estimated that there were 10000 wit
nesses to the double execution.
Fortune and Taylor were brought to Raj
eigh on Dec. 2l last, for safe keeping, as
there was great danger of their being
lynched If an effort was made to keep
them al Rocky Mount or Nashville. They
were returned TO Nash county on the 4th
of last month, tried, condemned and sens
fenced to be hanged this day
Robert Hester the murdered man, was a

REIrz's REPLY TO SALISBURY.
SAYS British Were Trying to Force
the Roers by Threats.

Pretoria Wednesday March 4.-State
SECRETARY Reitzs refutation of Lord Sal
isburv's arguments in the reply TO the
Rloemfontein note was issued to-day. Mr..
Reitz says:
"The British government after the
Bioemfontein conference endeavored 10
force nv threats certain changes in the
internal government OF the Transvaal Re-
nublic contrary to the London convcn-
tion They also imported troops in great
numbers and broke off negotiations with
threat TO take their own means to re-
move the grievances of their subjects
after waiting fortnight, while an
army corps was prepared and the reserves
were being called out by the British, Pres
ident Steyn asked the reason of these pro-
ocediugs. Sir Alfred Miner refused 90
reply.
''Neanwhile Mr.. Chamberlain, in his
sneeches. showed the world that England
had decided on war Accordingly the
Transvaal Republic addressed to the Brit
isb government a demand for the with
drawal of those troops, as otherwise 1t
would accept the presence OF The troops
as a declaration of war. That was not
necessarily intended as a message of
war"
Concerning the armaments Mr. Reitz
says:
