ROBERTS PROMISES PROTECTION.
And Bloemiontein Citizens Seem Almost
Pleased 10 See British in Town.

Rl0emfontefn. Tuesday. March Ia
Lord Roberts entered the Free State
capital, today. practically unopposed.
He lay at Nenter's Nlei. II miles away,
last night. with Gen. Kelly-Kenny's
and Gen. ColvilIe's divisions. tn"
Guards Brigade ana the mounted in
fantry
Gen. French, having cut the railroad
ana telegraph. experienced i slight
Skirmish with some Beers holding Il
kopj- southeast of the town. Early
in the morning. the cavalry brigade
moved forward ana occupied slowly
several kopjes which commanded the
Beers.
A few well-placed shells from the
horse artillery drove off the enemy.
Cen French then sent out scouts To
feel their way toward the town, per
ceiving which, the correspondents of
the Sydney Herald ana the London
Daily News with enc another. gallon II
forward and entered the town which
wore an every DAY aspect
The people We're out shopping OF for
morning walks and. at first. the three
newspaper men We're regarded as
towns folks. When later. ii become
known that they We're tho furerunu us
of the British army. they were greeted
cordially and conducted to a club
where they met Mr.. Frazer Of the rX-
ccutive council the mayor ANA other
officials These they persuaded to take
carriages to 60 ana meet Lord Rob
erts.
AS the party drove out Of the city
the British cavalry We're closing around
like a high net. The deputation soon
arrived opposite thu kopje where Lord
Roberts was stationed ana this cor
respondent rode forward ana had the
honor or announcing 10 the command
er-in-Chi.f that Blurmfontcin would
surrcndc".
A little later the drputation began Ia
approach and Lord Roberts went for
ward to meet them Tn scene was
picturesque in The extreme. A few
yards away the guns of a battery
pointed their grim mouths toward the
| late position Of the Beers. While the
tin roofs of Bloemfontein shone in the
distance.
After salutcs had been exchanged a
mrmber Of the deputatiCn stepped for
ward ana declared that the town. hc-
ING without defences, wished to sur
rcnded, hoping that Lord Roberts
would protect life and property. H.
replied that, provided there was no op-
position he would undertake to guar
antae the security Of both.
The interview was very cordial,
without Il sign Of soIcmnness. 1t struck
this correspondent that the deputation
seemed relieved by the presence of the
! British troops. Lord Roberts notified
the deputation his intention Of enter
ing the town in state and they with
drew to inform the townspoople.
Lord Roberts then made his military
! dispositions, ordering the 1st Brigade
to follow him ana to take possession
of the town. With his staff and the
military attaches he descended the
! kopje and arrived "a the plain. where
he waited until the cavalry approached.
! Then he entered the city. followed by
/ his personal staff, the general staff, the
| military attaches and troops.

ing a few hills south of the place. bu:
a few shells drove them off and, at ~
in the morning, some newspaper cor
respondents entered the town. found
Mr.. Frazer and other officials and
guided them to where Lord Roberts
stood on top of hill waiting for them
AS spokesman, Mr.. Frazer asked pro
lection for life and property and sur
rendered the keys.
Lord Roberts, accompanied by his
staff, rode at the head of a cavalcada i
mile long to the presidency, receiving
an ovation throughout the route, GU
mnating in a remarkable demonstl l.
ton at the Market square. Reaching
the government buildings, Lord Rob
erts took possession of the city in the
name of the Queen and then repaired
TO the presidency where the ceremony
of hosting the Union Jack ended for
ever, according to universal opinian
here, the Boer government of the Free
State.
During the progress through the
town, Lord Roberts stopped and or
dered the instant replacement of goods
which We're being looted from the ar
tillery barracks by Katfirs. thus giving
the populace an earnest example 81 the
treatment they might expect from the
VictorS.
President Steyn fled TO Constant
without replying to Lord Roberts de-
mand for his surrender and the COM
mander- in-chief remarked afterwards,
during the course of conversation,
while breakfasting at the farm of Pres
ident Steyns brother, that the Eek
President" had become a nOnenity.
The British troops, with the eXcep-
ton of those necessary to police the
town, remained outside.
The press dispatches giving most of
the above interesting details also settle
the point raised about the cutting of
the railroad and telegraph north Of
Bloemfontein, showing it was plucky
act Major Hunter Weston of the
Royal Engineers, accompanied by 10
men, traversed the BOer lines and sue
ceeded in cutting the wires and blow
ing up the track.
Bloemfontein is now regarded there
as sort of halfway house and base
of operations for the advance on Pre-
toria.
The military authorities here expect
n period of comparative quiet while
Lord Roberts is establishing railroad
connection with Norval Point and Be
THULE and giving the men and horses
the rest necessary to fit them for the
severe struggles which they believe to
be still inevitable. 1t seems likely that
the next news of fighting may come
from Natal.
Gen Warren's division which had
reached Durham, has been ordered to
rejoin Gen. Butler, Indicating that the
outflanking movement through the Mex
of Zululand referred to in these dis
patches, March TO- is about to COM
mence. 1t is reported at Bloemfontein
that Gen. JOubcrt is at Branfort. but
other reports locate him at Biggars-
berg.
The Transvaalers at BlOamfontein
threatened to turn their guns on the
town if the peace advocates refused to
fight, but the threat was unavailing.

All the trust leaders admit prosperity.
What are they waiting on? DO you

trust promoters and operators could
be dumped in the sea, and we would
know of trusts any more. that the
