CRONJE sURRENDERS.
NO DETAILS OF THE EVENT.
Tho Anniversary of Majuba Hiil-Thoucht
Thnt Cronje Held Out to Allow Time
for Defense of Bl0emfontein.

| London, Feb. 27-9:51 n. m.-The
war office announces that Cronje has
surrendered his whole force uncondl-
| tionally.
| General Roberts dispatch reads as
follows:
"Paardcberg. Feb. 21.-T;45 n. H.
| General Cronje and all of his force
| cnpitulated Internationally at daylight
and is now prisoner in my camp. The
strength of his force will be commun-
icated later.
Il hope that her majesty's govern
ment will consider this event satisfac-
tory, occurring as ii does on the an
niversary of Majuba.'
London, Feb 2T-I:20 Il. m.-The
Beers are assembling an army near
Bloemfontein, with which to dispute
the invasion of Lord Roberts. This in-
telligence comes from Pretoria by way
Of Loure1lzo Marques. The command
oes are described as 'hnstening from
all quarters of the two republics
No estimate is made of their num-
bers, but the withdrawal Of the Beers
from most of the places where they
have been in contact with the British
except the district near Ladysmlth
may raise the resisting force 10 10000
men. This figure assumes that the
Beers have between 10000 and 10000
men in the field.
The gathering of this army across
the path OF Lord Roberts gives signiti-
cance to General Cronje's steadfast
defense. He has engaged the corps of
Lord Roberts for ten days now, and
whether he is relieved or not. he has
given time for the dispersed Boer fac
tions to get together and to prepare po-
sitions to receive the British advance
when CrOnje is overcome and Lord
Roberts moves forward.
General Butler on Saturday faced the
last and strongest positions of the
Beers who bar his way 10 Ladysmith.

tie between armies. rather than rear

From recently published letters OF
Sir Alfred Miner 1t seems that on Nov.
30 of last year he wrote to Mr.. Cham
berlain about 'the colossal armaments
of the Transvaal" and described the
Boer republic as "a huge arsenal" The
warning came too late and the world,
as a consequence. has seen during the
closing year of the century two little
republics successfully confronting the
greatest empire Of modern times The
future historian of the Transvaal war

GOOD BALL PLAYING.
SANDY HOOKS DEFEAT THE ST JosEPH's
OF BRIDGEPORT.

An interesting game Of ball took place
at the Fair grounds, last Saturday, be.
tween the St Joseph's Of Bridgeport and
our local boys, the last named winning
out BY a score of 9 to 4. The game
passed off nicely owing to the good work
of Umpire J. Kelly. Too much praise
cannot be given our boys, for they played
a very pretty game. The stick work Of
Burns and O'Connell were the features.
M. Burns pitched very clever game,
striking out 8 men and allowing but two
free passes, also retiring the side in the
third inning on strikes. O'Connell's
work behind the bat also deserves men,
tion. Bishop at third and w. Burns at
second played their positions in fine style.
Coughlin was on the rubber for the visit
ing team, and proved himself worthy OF
the position, and with proper support
would have made it a much tighter con-

the bat and T. Hurley played a nice
game at short and also did come pretty
