LONG SIEGE PREDICTED.
Correspondent of Montreal HernId
South African War.

PORTLAND, Me-. April Mr. RIM
ouskl, the South African correspondent of
the Montreal Herald. arrived here today
from South Africa. Mr.. Rimouski was at
Magersfontein. He was with Lord Rob
erts at the surrender of Cronje The
Boer leader, he says, was very modest
and manly in appearance Mr.. Rimouski
expressed the opinion that unless the
Beers surrender at once, when the
English reach Pretoria there will be
another long siege with at least six
months of hard warfare. He thinks there
will be three more great battles and that
many more lives will be sacrificed before
the war IS ended. The correspondent
says the principal fault of the British
army is that they do not do enough OF
scouting and thus are una ware Of what
they will run into.
