Two hundred and ninety-two persons
have been killed, wounded or died of dis
ease. The garrison is so small that il
would be criminal to make its weakness
public. but there is never so much as a
whisper. If any one suggested the posi-
bility of surrender 1t is because we do not
mean to get beaten, and we are cheerfully
enduring the hardships of to-day rather
than to make a surrender in any degree
possible tomorrow. Horse meat now COM

Elkhart Review.
Only on the Porto Rican matter has Mr..
Brick offended the sentiment of his dis
trict, and on that he had not heard much
opinion. His denomination proves that the
people of the district still have confidence
in his honesty of purpose and his ability
to represent them. His first nomination
meant confidence, not commentator for
acts. His denomination means confidence
more han commentator. The passage of
resolutions commencing his acts must have
commended his good sense, and at the
same time included that one act which the
voters of his district are c~ondemning. A
resolution indorsing him would have pre-
cipitated a discussion of this question in
open convention, while denomination did
not involve the Endorsement of this ques-
toned act. Mr.. Bricks denomination means
that the voters of this district trust him
to be an honest, conscientious legislator,
and that no matter how much they ques-
ton the policy of one act they esteem him
to be actuated by high purposes. 1t means
that they trust him to learn from the voice
of the people their real sentiment, and be-
lieve that on questions involving issues
upon which they express intelligent opin-
ion he will act as their representative, not
as the mouthpiece of any faction, power
or authority that conflicts with this senti-
ment. We predict hat they will not be
disappointed.

PRETORIA, March 5.-Secretary Of State
Reitz has issued war bulletins in which,
after saying the government has no official
tidings of the surrender of General Cronje,
but m accept it as a fact, however pain
full. he adds: 1.-The government remains as
sured that the surrender will not discour-
age the burghers in their defense of their
independence and standing as a nation.
The struggle thus far has shown the re-
publics have indicated themselves as an
independent people. This reverse will not
stagger us. In the struggle for our cher
ished rights our belief remains that what
ever happens the Lord still reigns.
lowing to the invasion of the Free State
by a large force of the enemy and other
circumstances it became necessary to take
up other positions. hence the %burghers in
Natal have retired to Biggarsberg. All the
commanders have reached there safely. ex-
cept a few who retired in the direction of
Van Reenan's pass. Thus Ladysmith and
ing the enemy was time after time driven
back. so that our laagers were not cut off.
In these fights a few men were killed or
wounded and the enemy lost heavily. In
spite of all reports. the spirit of the
fighting men as to the outcome remains
unchanged. Among the commanders in
Natal the burghers are full of courage.
General De Wet now commands all the
commanders at the Modder river. The
President started yesterday evening for
Bloemfontein TO visit the laager of the
Free State"
II is understood that President Kruger's
visit to Bloemfontein was to try to arrange
a compromise of the differences between
the Transvaalers and Free Staters.
Kruger Thinks God Will Help Him.
PRETORIA, March ga special dispatch
from Bloemfontein says that President
Kruger addressing a crowd OF people, said:
Although God is testing our people, my
personal opinion is that the limit of the
test Is nearly reached. II the people are
sustained by faith in the time of adversely
God will soon again turn the tide I'm our
favor. If we nave strong faith In God He
will surely deliver us. The God Of deliver
ance Of the olden time is the same God
now"
The speech Of the venerable President
brought tears TO the eyes of men and wom-
en- alike. The Free Stater's "volkraad"
(national aEthem) was then sung. The
visit of President Kruger has done much
good and has cheered the respondents.
President Kruger more recently has been
visiting the commanders south of Bloem-
fontein.
Fighting is proceeding at Mafeking. All
taken by the Beers.
Much satisfaction Is expressed in all cir
cles at the courtesies extended TO General
Cronje by the British.
