Roberts and his victorious army. For
six days the Boer army was practically
at the mercy of the British, but Lord
Roberts treated the burghers with great
consideration from humane motives.
Surrounded by ten times their number,
plies, subjected to concentrated artillery
and machine-gun fire that for fierceness
and effectiveness probably has not been
equaled in history, burrowing like rab-
bits in a river bank, and threatened by a
flood that might burst on them at any
time and drown them out like rats, the
Beers held out for over a week, and saw
one relieving force after another broken
up and scattered by the superior strength
of the enemy. A week in such n situa-
tion is long time. 1t would have been
a great achievement to hold that position
for three days. But they had to yield
at last. Gen. Cronje himself was receiv-
ed by Lord Roberts with the greatest
courtesy and sympathy.
Lord Roberts will exchange a large
number of the Boer prisoners captured
for British prisoners held in Pretoria.
At last accounts the Beers held as pris-
oners 1913 officers and 2,669 men. These
will be swapped for an equal number of
Boer prisoners. Gen. Cronje will be held
a prisoner of war at Cape Town, as the
Beers have no officer of his rank to ex.
change for him.

en- and Soldiers.
The condition of affairs in the camp OF
the Beers when Gen. Cronje surrendered
to Lord Roberts was something frightful
They had run entirely out of food, except
the trek cattle, and these were eaten as
rapidly as they were killed by the British
shells. Their ammunition had given out
and most of their artillery was badly
damaged by the British fire. Most OF
their wagons were burned.
The laager was strewn with the corpses
of the dead, lying in the broad light un-
buried and fostering. The wounded were
in an awful plight. The hospital corps
was insufficient to attend to them, and
they lay about the laager in heaps, some
crying piteously, others shrieking in their
pain, many silently enduring their ag-
onies.
The British troops, Immediately on tax.
ing possession of the laager, were order
ed by Lord Roberts to devote all their at
tention to succoring the wounded and
burying the dead, as well as caring for
the women and children, who, panic
stricken and in expectation Of some awful
punishment, could hardly be induced to
accept kindness or aid from their con-
querors. The British commissariat was
taxed to its utmost to give immediate re-
lief 10 the sufferers, but everything DOS
sible was done to alleviate the condition
Of the captives. The surrendered force
numbers about 1900 combatants. Besides
these, there are over 1000 women and
children and Kafir laborers and members
of the Red Cross Relief Corps.

The unconditional surrender OF Gen
Cronje and his force, numbering 4,ooo
men, was officially announced by the Brit
ish war Office early Tuesday morning.
Gen. Cronje, commandant of Boer
army estimated at from 5000 to 10000
men, retreated from Modder River to-
ward Bloemfontcin, the capital OF the
Orange Free State, when Gen. French,
with British troops, effected the relief OF
Kimberley Gems. Kelly-kenny and
Kitchener managed to head off the re-
treat. Gen. French came TO their aid
from Kimberley and Lord Roberts con
centrated his whole British force about
the cornered Boer army. Fighting was
kept up almost necessarily for ten days,
ending with Cronje's surrender.
At daybreak Tuesday morning the Brit
lsh were preparing TO renew the lombard
ment of the Boer laager when an officer
arrived from Gen. Cronje Offering sur
render and asking a safe conduct for the
women and children who accompanied
the army. The request was granted. I'm
mediately upon receipt of the news in
London the Queen and Government Off
cials wired their congratulations to Lord

The heavy snowstorm which has envel-
oped the entire West and Northwest,
covering almost every State in these parts
of the Union. is almost unprecedented i'll
damage to all manner Of traffic as well
as interrupting seriously the ordinary vo-
cations of life. Press dispatches show
the storm to have been general from
Omaha to Toledo and from Milwaukee,
to the Gulf of Mexico.
In Illinois, northern Indiana and east
ern Missouri snow fell TO depth of eight
to fifteen inches. The high winds and
snow has also interfered with traffic from
northern Ohio over western Pennsylvania
to the lower lake region to the interior
of New York. Moline, H., reports Il
freight wreck on the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul Railroad at Port Byron.
At Mattoon snow and sleet played havoc
with wires. Jacksonville fears coal
famine. Waukegan, Bloomington and
many other cities report the schools clos
ed on account of the snow.
All of Indiana felt the force of the
storm. Trains were much delayed
throughout the northern and central por
tions and in the southern part sleet caus-
ed much damage TO wires. In Michigan,
Lansing, Three Rivers, Saginaw, Benton
Harbor, Kalamazoo and Niles report
from ten to eighteen inches of snow on
the level. Kenosha, Wis, was storm
bound, and at Burlington, Iowa, street
car traffic was blocked. Toledo, Ohio,
reported Il severe storm. with all the at
tendants of wind, delayed railroad trains
and blockaded traffic.
In the southwest Dcnnison, Texas, re-
ports the storm the worst in years. Six

PORTO RICO BILL PASSES.
House Adopts Tariff Measure by a

The struggle in the House over the
Porto Rico tariff bill Wednesday after
noon when the bill was amended by re-
ducing the tariff TO - per cent and max
ing the law temporary, and passed by q
vote of 172 to 161. The Republican man
ayers seemed surprised at the majority
of eleven received by the bill, for up to
the hour of voting they claimed only Il
majority of from three to five.
There were six Republicans who voted
against the bill. They were Mccall of
Massachusetts, Littlefed of Maine,
Crumpacker of Indiana, Lorimer of Hi
nois, and Heatwole and Fletcher of Min
nesota. Warner of Illinois, who was abb
sent by reason of illness, was paired
against the BILL Representative Lori
mer announced that were Mr.. Warner
present he would oppose the bill.
These five Republicans were not enough
to defeat the bill had the Democrats been
united in opposition. On strict party
vote, with all members present, the Re-
publicans have majority of fourteen,
and il would have required the change
OF eight Republican votes TO defeat. -Four
Democrats voted for the bill, four others
were absent without pairs. and one was
present without voting. In this way the
bill received majority of eleven votes.
The four Democrats who voted for the
bill were Davey and Meyer Of Louisiana.

Field Marshal Lord Roberts, V. c.,
the commander-in-chicf of the British
forces in South Africa, to whom Gen.
Cronje surrendered, was born in Gavin
pore, India, in 1882. His early years
were spent in England. He did not know
his father until he was 20 years of age.
He received splendid military educa-
ton in England. The success heswon in
the Indian mutiny led to his eventual pro-
motion to be commander-in-chief of the
Indian army. Roberts is quiet and retir-
ing, cool and keen observer. He says
little and appears to be always thinking
out a great plan. He is n devoted hus-
band. His love for his only son did not
prevent his unremitting zeal in perfecting
the South African campaign after the
news was sent to him that his son had
fallen in battle.

London Graphic
JOY IN LONDON.
News of Cronje's Surrender Received
with Wild Demonstrations.

The news of Gen. Cronje's surrender
reached London Tuesday morning during
| a sudden downpour of rain and spread by
word of mouth almost before the extra
papers appeared Englshmen thawed at
once. Absolute strangers stopped in the
streets, shook hands and slapped each
others backs. In Office buildings some
went down the corridors hammering
doors and shouting the glad tidings.
Many rushed to the telegraph offices.
while excited throngs blocked the win
dows and flags were run up everywhere.
A stranger entering London would not
have known the town. The usual staid
Englishman for the moment was insane
with JOY. Proceedings on the stock ex-
change opened with the singing of God
Save the Queen" and then the jubilant
brokers cheered Roberts. Kitchener and
everybody connected with the war again
and again.
Pail Mall was thronged, and the war
Office packed with shouting and cheering
crowds. Congratulations were exchanged
on every side. 1t was really the first
chance the public has had to jubilate, and
no one seemed to neglect the opportunity.

effectiveness of the news, carrying as it
did the avenging of the disastrous defeat
the British had sustained nineteen years
ago. Gen. Cronje's surrender will have
a far-reaching effect. 1t opens the south
ern Free State to the British and iso-
lates the Beers in northern Cape Colony.
The Beers, it is known, are now collect
ing for the defense of Bloemfontein,
where another battle is likely to occur,
but the Transvaal is still untouched. A
stubborn resistance is expected there.
On Saturday and Sunday. Feb. IL and
Is, an attempt was made TO take Cronje's
position by assault, but again the Beers
demonstrated their ability to stand off
infantry attack, and the British were
treated to deadly fire against which
they could not advance. On Monday,
Feb. 10, Gen. Roberts arrived. He saw
the futility of attempting to storm the
Boer position and ordered cessation of
these tactics. Instead, he brought up the
artillery around the Boer laager and
opened a terrific bombardment, mean
while employing the infantry in an attack
on the Boer re-enforcements who were
coming to Cronje's relief. Until Thurs
day the bombardment continued unabat-
ed and it was reported that the beleag
