Roberts and his victorious army. For
six days the Boer army was practically
at the mercy of the British, but Lord
Roberts treated the burghers with great
consideration from humane motives.
Surrounded by ten times their number,
cut off from re-enforcements and sup
plies, subjected to concentrated artillery
and machine gun fire that for fierceness
and effectiveness probably has not been
equaled in history, burrowing like rab-
bits in river bank, and threatened by
food that might burst on them at any
time and drown them out like rats, the
Beers held out for over a week. and saw
one relieving force after another broken
up and scattered by the superior strength
of the enemy. A week in such situa-
ton is long time. 1t would have been
a great achievement to hold that position
for three days. But they had to yield
at last. Gen. Cronje himself was receiv-
ed by Lord Roberts with the greatest
courtesy and sympathy.
Lord Roberts will exchange a large
number Of the Boer prisoners captured
for British prisoners held in Pretoria
At last accounts the Beers held as pris-
oners 1913 officers and 2,669 men. These
will be swapped for an equal number OF
Boer prisoners. Gen. Cronje will be held
a prisoner Of war at Cape Town, as the
Beers have no officer Of his rank to ex'
change for him.

CONFIDENCE IN ROBERTS.
British Faith in "Bobs" Is Strength

ened by the Recent Victory.
Now that one Of the most formidable
OF the Boer generals has been summary
disposed of, the London war critics are
justifying their confidence in "Bobs,
whose good luck is prOverbial, but Is IN
reality an infinite capacity for taking
pains. They point out that it took only
ten days to compel the surrender of the
Beers at Paardeburg, while Mafeking.
Ladysmith and Kimberley, with very in
ferior forces, have held out for four
months. The comparison seems to graft
fy the national pride, somewhat humbled
as it has been by recent reverses and
hostile foreign criticism.
The capture of Gen. Cronje and his
troops cannot fail to have an immediate
effect on the war. Gen. CrOnje's name
was one wherewith to conjure. During
the war of 1891 Cronje besieged Pot
chefstroom. After a long and gallant re-
sistance the garrison was forced 10 sur
render eight days after peace had been
declared. During all that time Cronje
had concealed the news from the British
commander. His conduct in placing Brit
were killed by the fire Of their country
men, earned for him the hatred Of the
British.
Whatever the effect of this surrender
may have on the war, there is little doubt
Of the attitude of the British public. One
and all seem to think this is the begin
ming of the end. They anticipate some
fighting in Natal and hard campaign in
the Transvaal, but they claim that the
tide is finally turned in favor of the i'm
perial rmy. 1t appears to be the almost
universal opinion that the Beers will not
be able to cope with the shrewd, COM
prehensive generalship of Lords Roberts
and Kitchener

The unconditional surrender OF Gen.

occupying the attention Of Roberts main
force the gallant Cronje gave the Beers
time to hurry re-enforcements to Bloem-

of defense. CrOnje's surrender was in
evitab!e. His force was surrounded by
from 10000 to 5000 British with up
wards of 100 guns. The wonder is that
the Beers were able TO hold out as long
as they did.
On Saturday and Sunday. Feb. - and

infantry attack, and the British were
treated to deadly fire against which
they could not advance. On Monday.

the futility of attempting TO storm the
Boer position and ordered cessation of
these tactics. Instead. he brought up the
artillery around the Boer laager and
opened a terrific bombardment, mean

on the Boer re-enforcements who were

day the bOmbardment continued unabat-
