London, Feb. 26. a. m.-The latest inteli-
gence from Paardeberg indicates that General
Cronje has not yet surrendered, though all at
ternpts made by the Beers from Natal to relieve
him have so far ended in failure. According 10
THE Times" correspondent Cronje is we'll sup
piled with provisions, and the bed of the Modder
affords him q good shelter But these facts are
scarcely sufficient to account for his refusal
to accept General Roberts's offer to allow the
women and children TO escape from the appall
ing bombardnent to which the laager is sub
3ected.
Trustworthy news as to General Buffers ad-
vance on Ladysmith is published this morning.
1t is now settled beyond all question that the
country north Of the Tugela, between Colenso
and Peters is in the hands of the British.
The heavy fighting which was officially
ported to have occurred Thursday and Fri
day, It seems. took place to the left of Pieter's
Station, and 1t was here. in a rush on one of
the Boer positions on Thursday night, that Gen
eral wynne fell wounded. The Beers had been
strongly reinforced. but they were notwithstand-
ing compelled by Friday afternoon to fall back
from their intrenchments in disorder.
The Beers still hold a splendid position on
Groblers Kloof. and they must be driven from
IT before the advance be continued.
kilograms from Lourenco Marques mention
that a feeling OF CONSERVATION prevails in Pre-
toria official circles and President Steyn is said
TO have urged President KRUGER to sue for peace.
When the news published Of the battle
of Colenso many people wondered why General
White did not help General Butler by making a
sortie from Ladysmith. THE Standards cor
respondent IN the beeaguered town an
swers the question It was not known in Lady
smith that General Butler contemplated attack
ing until December IL, whereas the battle 1t
will be remembered, was fought the 18th.
Letters containing fuller details of the fight
ing at spion Kop are published to-day. The
conduct of the operations is severely criticised
by more than one correspondent at the front.

[BY TO TRIBUNE.l
London, Feb. %, ] a. m.-The situation at
Koodoosrand was virtually unchanged Saturday
afternoon, when General Robertss dispatch was
sent to the War Office. General Cronje was still
holding his position under the concentrated fire
of fifty guns, and the Dutch relieving forces
outside the British lines had not been massed
in sufficient strength to effect his deliverance.
The British outposts were attacked Friday
in force by Beers from Natal. and many were
killed and wounded and nearly one hundred
prisoners were taken by the British. including
one commandant The British casualties on
Wednesday and Friday were two killed and
forty-eight wounded.
These figures indicated that General Roberts
was besieging Cronje's beleaguered laager with
artillery and keeping his infantry under cover,
and that the Natal renforcements had been
beaten back with slight British losses The
Boer concentration had not been effected on a
scale sufficiently large TO interfere with Cen
eral Roberts's continuous bombardment Of
Cronje's position.
sHERMAN's PHRASE RECALLED.
There were various press dispatches of an
earlier date than Saturday received in Fleet
street last night with details of General Rob-
erts's investment of Cronje's laager. There was
agreement on one essential fact, that General
Cronje's position desperate and that there
was no possibility of his escape. The Shrop-
