A TRIBUTE TO cRoNJE.
DR.. Mac Arthur Puts Him on a Foot
ing With Napoleon.

NEW YORK. March I5.-The Rev Dr.
Robert stuart Macarthur in a written
stateucent regarding the exile OF General
Cronje says:
General Crouje. the brilliant Boer. an
other son OF Mars is now on his way to
exile on the lonely island OF 81. Helena.
This act OF tho British Government is in
one sense great compliment TO General
Cronje. He IS thus put practically into the
same category with the great Napoleon.
whom all Jbe N0rld feared. Nothing that
give him Immortality Of fame as his exile
to the island made ever memorable by its
association with Napoleon.
If the purpose of the British Govern
meuJ is 10 deprive the great BOer OF inlu-
ence and fame, this act entirely defeats
that purpose. Probably. however. their
aim is TO isolate him. I'm order that he mag
not be able to give his compatriots the
benefit Of his military genius while the
struggle continues. His bauishment seems
10 be unnecessarily harsh. IL DC Is not posi-
lively cruel Was there any military ne
ceSslty 20 thus isolate him 10 make IL i'm
possible for him 90 communicate with his
friends and associates? There is reason
for the belief that his exile viii not be
long continued and 10 is equally certain
that il Will eventually be the crowuing
event Of the uudy ing fame which his brav-
cry has already seized for him on the page

lowing statement today regarding recent
changes made in the stations Of naval

can be further from the truth II is TO
the credit OF naval officers that they are
generally ready 20 serve promptly wher-
ever required They are tbs last men whl
would claim that their convenience should
be consulted rather than the immediate
necessities of the service.

titled 10 il for mis- very mu n appreciated
