CRONJE,S SURRENDER.

Lord Roberts Gives II Detailed Account Of
His Success In South Africa.
LONDON, Feb. 2S.-The war office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Roberts:
"PAARDEBERG, Feb. 27.-From infor-
nation furnished daily to me by the
intelligence department it became ap-
parent that General Cronje's force was
becoming more depressed and that the
discomfort of the troops and the discord
among the leaders were rapidly increas-
ing. This feeling was doubtless ac-
centuated by the disappointment caused
when the Boer reinforcements which
tried to relieve General Cronje were de-
feated by our troops on Fe3. 90.
II resolved, therefore, to bring pres
sure to bear upon the enemy. Each
night the trenches were pushed forward
toward the enemy's laager so as to
gradually contract his position, and at
the same time 1 bombarded it heavily
with artillery, which was yesterday
materially aided by the arrival of four
6-inch howitzers which had ordered
up from De Aar. In carrying out these
measures a captive balloon gave great
assistance by keeping us informed of
the dispositions and movements of the
enemy. At a. m. today a most dash
ing 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 enemy and within about 80 yards
of his trenches, where our men in
trenched themselves and maintained
their positions till morning, a gallant
/ deed worthy of our colonial comrades
and which, l am glad to say. was at.
tended by comparatively slight loss.
''rhis apparently clinched matters,
for at daylight today letter signed by
General Cronje, in which he stated that

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-It is said that
several thousand more men will be
thrown out of work during the week
and the tieup Of the building industry
of the city will be further complicated
by the action taken at the meeting of
the Building Material Trades Council
yesterday. Its decision that the deliv-
cry of brick from all yards in this county
to buildings under construction by the
United Contractors where nonunion
men were employed be stopped, will
make idle 1000 brick makers and the
order extending the strike of the ma
chinists to other trades will call out at
least 5000 others.

New YORK, Feb. 2S.-The greatest
fire Newark, N. j., ever experienced

trict last night, destroying a score or
more of buildings. Four firemen were

HARD FIGHTING AT coLENso
Beers Are Rapidly Thinning Out Buller'1
Regiments.

Beers Are Rapidly Thinning Out Buller's
Regiments.
LONDON, Feb. 2s.-A dispatch from
Colenso, dated Feb. ~, says.
"The Beers are endeavoring to out
flank us and severe fighting continues.
Gin the attempt Of the Inniskillens
Friday to rush the Boer position on
Pieter's hill, the Boer fire was so terri
BILE when the infantry emerged from the
cover of the trees that every man in the
leadinsx half of the company fell
wounded. The advance line Of the
British reached a donga in front of the
first Boer trench, which was not appar
ent until they were actually in it. The
Beers retired to the crest and then re-
turned on either flank of the Inniskil-
lens, enfilading the captured donga with
terrible cross fire.
Finding it impossible to cross or to
hold the position the British fell back
and intrenched themselves half way up
the hill The Beers maintained heavy
fire. In the course of the night the
Dublin Fusiliers and the Connaughts
arriving to support the Innislzillens, an
other determined effort was made to
take the Roer positions.
This also failed. A heavy fire con-
tinued throughout the night. The
InnisEillens lost IA out of II officers
killed and wounded and about $50 non
commissioned officers and men killed
and wounded.
General Lyttleton's brigade relieved
General Hart's brigade in the morning
and the artillery duel was continued
Sunday, though no great damage was
done.
Today an armistice was agreed upon
to enable both sides to collect their dead
and wounded
The Beers admit having had very
heavy losses, but they scout the idea
that the British will compel them to
raise the siege of Ladysmith

May Change Convention Date.

SIOUX CITY, Feb 27.-An effort is be-
ing made to change the date Of the ma
tional Populist convention, set for May
8, at Sioux Falls, S. D. M. L. Fox of
Sioux Falls, a leading South Dakota
Populist, in an interview here, said that
Sioux Falls is a little afraid the weather
just at that season will be unpleasant,
and it is thought if it can be put off un-
til later date, conditions probably
would be more favorable. Mr.. Fox said
one reason for fixing the date so early
was SO as to have the fusion convention
at least a month in advance of the ma
tional Democratic convention, it being
supposed this would be held early IN
June. But now, as this has been fixed
for July 4, it would leave ample time
for the Populists to hold their conven-
ton as late as the 1st of June. He says
Sioux Falls expects to care for $4,000.

SIN my reply told General Cronje
he must present himself at my camp
and that his forces must come out of
their laager after laying down their
arms. By a. m. received General
Cronje and dispatched telegram to
you announcing the fact In the course
of conversation he asked for kind treat
ment at our hands and also that his
wife, grandson, private secretary, adju-
tant and servants might accompany
him wherever he might be sent. re-
assured him and told him his request
would be complied with. I informed
him that a general officer would be sent
with him to Cape Town to insure his
being treated with proper respect en-
route. He will start this afternoon
under charge of Major General Pretty
man, who will hand him over to the
general commanding at Cape Town.
"The prisoners, who number about
4 200, will be formed into commanders
nader our own officers. They will also
leave here today, reaching the Modder
river tomorrow, when they will be
rallied to Cape Town in detachments. !"
The guns captured from the Trans
vaal forces were three rs centimeter
Krupps, one FOUNDER and one
Maxim gun. From the Free Staters
the British captured one rs centimeter
krupp and one Maxim gun.

erts, besides General Piet Cronje, in

Their First Real Victory of the War
Comes on the Memorable Anniversary.
Day Is Celebrated by Great Britain.
Buffers Task Not Easy.
LONDON, Feb. 28.-From John
O'Groat's to Lands End there has been
cheering for the queen and universal
singing of the national anthem This,
with mutual congratulations, is the
Briton's way of celebrating the most
cheerful day of the war.
Reports from all parts of the country
show flag hoisting, bell ringing and
great jubilation in celebration OF the
victory Of Lord Roberts.
Already he is taking stock of the sit
nation and measuring the future.
There is no disposition to overestimate
the success. The government enter
tains no illusion. As announced in the
house of commons, 10000 additional
troops will Immediately go out and the
effective will be kept near 100000.
Lord Roberts has done more than to
capture 1000 Beers and a few guns. He
is within striking distance of one of
the Boer capitals and is master of a
large district Of the Free State. He
has given shock to Boer confidence
and immeasurably restored the spirit of
his own troops. In capturing Cronje
he has taken leader whose presence
alone was worth thousands to the Boer
cause.
The best opinion here is that the
Transvaalers are certain to continue the
fight with undiminished valor, but it is
not SO certain about the Free Staters.
Lord Roberts has not allowed the
corps of descriptive writers with him to
supplement- his plain narrative as yet
and there are some points in doubt. 1t
is not clear whether the 1000 prisoners
| include those taken in small parties
before the capitulation. What has be-
come of the rest of the Beers who held
the Magersfontein lines and where are
the big guns? The smallness of Cronje's
force causes some wonderment.
The morning papers without excep-
ton comment on the achievement Of
the Boer leader and men in holding off
for ten days force from six to eight
times as large as their own. British
! opinion is far more generous in victory
than in defeat.
Sir Redvers Butler is having hard
time in Natal. 1t is evident now after
a fortnight's fighting that he was mis-.
led when he wired that there was only
a weak rear guard between him and
Ladysmith. Apparently some of the
hardest fighting of the war took place
at the end of last week, as an armistice
was agreed upon to allow attendance Oh
the wounded and burial of the dead.
Both sides must have lost heavily.
AT any moment, however, news may
come of General Buffers success. Fri
day will begin the fourth month Of the
siege of the garrison, which is seem
ingly in position where it is unable tc
do anything to help General Butler.
