General Comic surrendered uneoudi-

wiring the news, mentions the
fact that the surrender occurred on the
anniversary OF Majuba Hill, and hopes
It will be satisfactory to the British
public. His dispatch, dated February

General Cronie made IA brilliant de-

only aim appears to have been to hold
out long enough to allow the Beers to
concentrate another army in front of

Transvaal. lie resisted for a week,
and his losses must have been heavy,
although he refused an offer of medi-
cal assistance from the British a few
hours before the surrender occurred
Safe conduct for the women of the
camp through the British lines was
also declined.
Several small bands of Beers have
been captured within the past few
days. Cronjes forces are estimated at
from 5000 to 5000, so the British have
probably 10000 men as an offset to the
5000 British forces in Pretoria.

CRONJE SURROUNDED.
Boer General With 5000 Men, Hemmed In

General Cronje is surrounded by the
British near Paadersberg, about thirty
miles from Bloemfontein.
General Cronje has been in a desper-
ate plight, endeavoring to stand off a
force several times as large as his own,

come to his aid The fighting is de.
scribed as the hardest of the war.
When Cronje left Magersfontein he

was so encumbered with heavy guns.

British mounted infantry was sen,
after Cronje to either flank and check
his advance or compel him to leave his
siege guns behind. He chose to fight,
and selected a strong position at
koodoosrand, which the British, with
superior numbers, were enabled to sur
round, The battle began Sunday. The
approach to the Boer position was
across level country and the British
loss was heavy.
Sixty British guns were continually
dropping shells into the Boer camp,
which apparently wrought fearful
havoc
The third day of the fight Cronje
asked for an armistice to bury his dead.

sent back word that his request for a

of the crew were seated on the wind

from time to time, the sound of moaps

BLOW TO MEDICAL SCIENCE,

Lack of Funds May Bring to an End

try.

BOSTON, December 1.-The corpora
ton of Harvard University has been
obliged to announce that, on account
O. IA lack of sufficient endowment to
garry it on, the School of Veterinary
Medicine, which was established in
1882, and which since that time has
led in the development of veterinary
science in this country, must be dis
continued. 1t is not always understood
that the wealthiest university is the
one which has the greatest demands
upon its resources, or that the funds
which make so impressive a showing
in its treasurers report must in almost
all cases be applied to certain specified
ends. Thus the Harvard authorities.
in spite of the fact that they have been
able during the past few months to see
their way clear to determining on an
investment of nearly 81 900 900 in land
and buildings for other departments of
the University. are unable to maintain
any longer from their general resources
the annual deficits of the Veterinary
School.
1t is notable that Harvard was the
first college in the country to recog-
nize veterinary medicine. The dean
of the school, DR.. Charles P. Lyman.
who was called from the Agricultural
Bureau in Washington when the school
was organized Is years ago, explains
in an interviews the conditions of the
science then and the changes which

in order to satisfy the variety demand
ed by women of fashion, may boast a
fullness at the wrist and elbows, with
probably a suggestion of fullness at the
top, but the ultra fashionable athletic
sleeves make no pretensions whatever
at these effects.
Beneath the jacket was worn a smart
flannel shirt waist. 1t was of cream
white flannel embroidered in red silk
fieur-de-lis, of more TIM ordinary size.
The back of the waist was laid in a
succession of tiny box plaits, while the

The jacket worn was made upon the
lines of a round Elton. 1t fitted the fig

made without any lining. The front
pieces extended some inches below the
waist line in rounded points, and these
were heavily stitched with blue silk
threads.
