London, Feb. 28-4 80 a. m.-There is
general cheerfulness throughout Grea
Britain over the surrender of Genera
Cronje. There has been cheering to-
day for the queen and universal sing
ing of the national anthem. This, with
mutual congratulations is the Briton's
way Of celebrating the most cheerful
day of the war. Already he is taking
stock Of the situation and measuring the
future. There is no disposition to over
estimate the success. The government
entertains no illusion. AS announced in
the house of commons, ten thousand
additional troops will Immediately go
out and the effective will be kept near
100000.
Lord Roberts has done more than to
capture four thousand Beers and a few
guns. He is within striking distance of
one of the Boer capitals and is master
of large district of the Free State. He
has given a shock to Boer confidence
and immeasurably restored the spirit of
his own troops. In capturing Cronje he
has taken leader whose presence alone
was worth thousands to the Boer cause
The best opinion here is that the Trans
vaalers are certain to continue the fight
with undiminished valor; but it is not
so certain about the Free Staters.
Lord Roberts has not allowed the
corps Of descriptive writer's with him
to supplement- his plain narrative as
yet, and there are some points in doubt.
1t is not clear whether the 1000 prison
toll iy1c ipG
before the capitulation. What has be-
come Of the rest of the Beers who held
the Magerfontein lines and where are
the big guns? The smallness of Cron-
je's forces causes some wonderment.
The morning papers, without excep-
ton, comment on the achievement of
the Boer leader and men in holding off
for ten days force from six to eight
times as large as their own. British
opinion is far more generous in victory
than in defeat
Sir Redvers Butler is having a hard
time in Natal. 1t is evident now after
a fortnight's fighting, that he was mis-
led when he wired that there was only
weak rear guard between him and
Ladysmith. Apparently some of the
hardest fighting of the war took place
at the end of last week. as an armis-
tice was agreed upon to allow attend
ance upon the wounded and burial of
the dead. Both sides must have lost
heavily.
At any moment, however, news may
come of General Buffers success. Fri
day will begin the fourth month of the
siege Of the garrison which is seeming
ly in a position where it is seemingly
in a position where it is unable to do
anything to help General Butler.

Secretary Gage occupied some time in

stated that since July |. 1899, there had
accumulated surplus Of revenues over
receipts of abont $53. 600. and that
by the end Of June Of this year, it prob
ably would amount to over $50. .0OO. 600
This surplus is accounted for by large
receipts from customs and by a material
reduction in the expenditures on &C

BATTLE SEEMS IMMINENT.

British and Beers Close Together North
OF Bloemfontein.
LONDON, March 3l.-The Beers are
concentrating in force about Is miles
north of Bloemfontein in the rear of
Glen and Lord Roberts is sending for.
wa.d troops to engage them. The Sew.
enth infantry division and part of Gen.
eral French's cavalry have been sent up
to join the Fourteenth brigade and the
two cavalry regiments that are holding
Glen and its environs. 1t does not
seem probable that the Beers will give
serious battle in the fairly open country
north Of Glen. Still their evident
strength indicates more than corps Of
observation.
In small affairs the Beers are daringly
aggressive in all parts Of the field of
war. The johannesburg mounted po-
lice, esteemed by the Beers to be their
best mounted commando, are raiding
