THE OCCUPATION OF KROONSTAD.
OPPOSITION TO THE BRITISH IN THE FREE
STATE PRACTICALLY OVER.


Kroonstad, May 1.-THE arrival of Lord Rob
erts was hailed enthusiastically by all the Brit
ish inhabitants. Three hundred Free Staters
anxious to surrender. The bridge the
south had not been destroyed but the large
bridge near the town had been demolished.
The Irish Brigade with the Federals yesterday
burned the goods shed. According to the towns
people. many Of them were drunk.
The Beers are now trekking to the Vaal River
where they intrenching. General French
encamped northeast Of the town and dispatched
a force to cut the line. The project succeeded
late night, but unfortunately, after the de-
parture of the last train.
Although the troops had marched sixteen
miles, they in excellent form on entering
the town. Many arrests have been made chiefly
Of those who had maligned the British. 1t was
found that many persons have been deported
from Ladybrand for ultra sympathy with the
British.
President Steyn has gene to Lindley, the new
seat of the Free State Government. A number
of the burghers are trekking homeward. The
opposition in the Free State is practically over.
All the prisoners in the hands of the British
here agree that the quarrel between the Free
Staters and the Transvaaers is so acute that
the Transvaalers have decided to leave their
allies whom they accuse of cowardice and lack
of patriotism.
Most of the Transvaal prisoners think that if
they defeated at the Vaal River the Beers
will retreat to Pretoria, but there appears to be
a growing distrust in the Transvaal Govern
ment. In a word, the back Of the Boer resistance
seems to have been broken The burghers are
fighting without their previous stubbornness.
They seem ready TO retreat on the slightest pre-
text.
The prisoners, even the Transvaalers appear
glad to have been captured. They say they
sick of a which can have only one end. Sew
eral have exclaimed: We have lost liberty,
but why should lose our lives?"

The Beers made an Intellectual stand at Bosch

appears to have been to get away safely with

President Steyn is represented as having been
frantic with rage and as having kicked and
