Details Of crOnjo's Surrender.

PAARDEBERG. Tuesday. Feb. "a.
(Majuba Day., a. m.-The British
camp was awakened BY the continued
rattle OF rife fire at daybreak, and
the news arrived that the Canadians.
while building a trench quite close TO
the enemy, were fuslladed at a range
of fifty yards. The Canadians gallant
ly worked forward and occupied the
edge of the trenches along the river.
entirely enfilading the Beers. This
movement was followed by cessation
of fire, except an occasional solitary
shot.
Suddenly a regiment stationed on
the crest Of a hill perceived a white
flag and burst into cheers, thus first
announcing the surrender OF General
Cronje.
Shortly afterward note reached
Lord Roberts bringing tidings of the
Beers unconditional surrender. Gen
eral Prettyman was sent 10 accept the
surrender. At about z o'clock a small
group Of men appeared In the distance
crossing the plain towards headquar-
ters. The latter being apprlsed of
General Cronje's approach, Lord Rob
erts went TO the front In the modest
cart in which he sleeps and ordered n
guard OF Seaforths to line up. A group
OF horsemen then approached. On
General Prettyman's right rode an eld-
erly man clad in a rough, short over
coat, wide-brimmcd nat. ordinary
tweed trousers and brown shoes. II
was the redoubtable CrOnje. hIs face
was burned almost black and his curly
beard was tinged with gray.
Lord Roberts walked TO and fro In
front OF the cart until the B3er general
arrived. when the British commander
advanced gravey and kindly saluted
the Boer commander. CrOnje's face
was absolutely impassive, exhibiting
no sign OF his inner feelings.
Lord Roberts was surrounded by his
staE when General Pregtyman. ad-
dressing the fed marshal. said:
"Commandant Cronje, slr."
The cOmmandant touched his hat In
salute and Lord Roberts saluted IN re-
turn. The whole group then dismount-
&c and Lord Roberts stepped forward
and shook hands with the Boer com
mander.
He then motloned General Cronje TO
a seat in a chair which had been
brought for his commodatiOn, and
the two officers oonversed through an
interpreter.

listened with deep attention to the
brilliant argument Of Mr.. Spooner In
