The editor of the Manson Democrat
explains why he is so strongly in favor
of the Beers in their war with Great
Britain as follows:
because it is an unjust and an un-
holy war of powerful and merciless
monarchy against an honest, home-lov-
ing, God-fearing folk, who are fighting
for the preservation of their liberty and
their republic; because he cannot forget
the lessons he learned in childhood of
the way in which this country gained
her liberty from the British in the revo-
lutionary war; because he cannot forget
the massacres of defenseless and help
less American women and children by
savage Indians under British officers in
the war of 1872; because he cannot for.
get the "Aiabama" and because the
blood of murdered Irish martyrs flows
in his Sisn IS He cannot forget all this
does not want to forget itr

Butler Captures Large Quantities of Am

New York, March ga dispatch
from London says: General Butler in
a dispatch from Ladysmith makes it
clear that the Beers decided to raise
the siege of the town Immediately they
learned that General Cronje was at
the mercy of General Roberts at Paar-
deberg. The British advance in Natal
was then only opposed in order to al
low time for the big guns and am
munition and stores to be safely re-
moved north and west. That the
Beers were not completely successful
in carrying out this intention was ow-
ing to the fact that they were more
or less demoralized by General Bull
ler's victorious attack on Tuesday,
After the battle orders were evidently
given for hasty retreat to the passes,
with the result that large quantities
of ammunition and two guns We're left
behind. Virtually speaking, Natal is
now clear of the republican forces.
Public interest in the war is already
declining since the end is considered
a foregone conclusion, tedious as may
be the process by which it will be
reached. The relief of two garrisons
and the complete collapse of the Dutch
plan of campaign leave General Rob
erts at liberty to concentrate his forces
with the transport as his chief diff

Archbishop Hennessey Dead.

arcuOlSuOp aeuueSSey 0edu.
Archbishop John Hennessey died at
the Arch Episcopate residence in Du-
buque last Sunday afternoon. For up
wards of year past this distinguished
and honored churchman has been in
poor health, and a third paralytic
stroke, on March End, fastened the
end. On September II, 1893, he was
elevated to the Archi- Episcopate, and
the ceremonies on that occasion were
attended by more prominent church
men than ever assembled, either before
or since, on like occasion in this coun-
try.
The Dubuque b erald truthfully says
"a father in Israel has fallen. The
death of this eminent prelate removes
from the church bright and shining
light, an exemplar of Christian virtues
wise spiritual leader and counselor
from the state patriotic citizen and
the see city of the archdiocese one who
was loved by Catholic and Protestant
alike and who had endeared himself tc
all by his kindness, his large sympa
thies and benevolences."

Roberts Gives Details,

The war Office has received the fol-
lowing additional dispatch from LORD
Roberts:
"Paardeberg, II o'clock a. m.-From
information furnished daily to me by
the intelligence department it became
apparent that General Cronjes force
was becoming more depressed and that
the discomfort of the troops and the
discord among the leaders were rap.
idly increasing. This feeling was
doubtless accumulated by the disap.
pointment caused when the Boer rein
forcements which tried to relieve Gen.
eral Cronje were defeated by our
troops on Feb. %. resolved, there.
fore, to bring pressure to bear on the
enemy. Each night the trenches were
pushed forward toward the enemy's
lager SO as to gradually contract his
position, and at the same time bonn
barded it heavily with artillery, which
was yesterday materially aided by the
arrival of four 6-inch howitzers, which
had ordered up from De Aar.
Dashing Advance by Canadians.
I'm carrying out these measures a
captive balloon gave assistance by
keeping us informed of the DISPOSE.
lions and movements of the enemy. At
3 a. IN. a most dashing advance was
made by the Canadian regiment and
some engineers, supported by the
First Gordon Highlanders and Second
Shropshires. resulting in our gaining
a point some 600 yards nearer the enc.
my and within about eighty yards of
his trenches. where our men en-.
trenched themselves and maintained
their positions till morning, a gallant
deed worthy of our colonial comrades
and which, am glad to say, was at.
tended by comparatively slight loss.
Letter from General Cronie,
This apparently clinched matters.
for, at daylight today, a letter signed
by General Cronje, in which he stated
that he surrendered Internationally,
vas brought to our outposts under a
flag of truce. In my reply told Gen.
eral Cronje he must present himself
come out of their lager after laying
down their arms. BY Z a. m. i Re,
ceived General Cronje and dispatched
telegram to you announcing the fact.
In the course of conversation he asked
for kind treatment at our hands and
also that his wife, grandson, private
secretary, adjutant and servants might
accompany him wherever he might be
sent. l treasured him and told him
his request would be complied with.
l informed him that general officer
would be sent with him to Cape Town
to insure his being treated with proper
respect en- route.
About 1000 Prisoners.
HE will start this afternoon under
charge of Major General Prettyman,
who will hand him over to the general
commanding at Cape Town. The pris.
oners, who number about 1000, will
be formed into commands under our
own officers. They will also leave here
today, reaching Modder river tomor.

Town in detachments."
The above dispatch was read in both
the house of lords and the house Of
commons. The reference to the Cana.
dians evoked immense and prolonged
cheering. Balfour, the government
leader in the house of commons said
he had no information relative to the
