LONDON, Feb. %, 4:30 a. H.
From John o. Groat's to Lands End
there was cheering yesterday for
the Queen and universal singing
of the national anthem-and there
was cause for JOY. Lord Roberts
yesterday notified the War Office
that General Cronje and his little
army had Internationally surren-
dered, having become convinced
that further resistance would be
suicidal. The captured Beers are
COW on the way to Cape Town.
This is the first great success of
the war, and therefore an ebulli-
tion of enthusiasm was excusable,
and it took the form of cheering
and singing. This, with mutual
congratulations, was the Briton's
way of celebrating the most cheer
full day of the war. Already he is
taking stock of the situation and
measuring the future.
There is no disposition to over
estimate the success. The govern
ment entertains no illusion. AS
announced In the House of Com
mons, 10, additional troops will
Immediately GO out, and the effect
i've will be kept near 200, 900.
Lord Roberts has done more than
to capture 1000 Beers and a few
guns. He is within striking dis
tance of one of the Boer capitals,
and is master of large district of
the Free State. He has given a
shock to Boer confidence, and has
also restored the spirit of his
own troops. In capturing Cronje
he has taken leader whose pres
ence alone was worth thousands
to the Boer cause. The best opin-
ion here is that the Trausvaalers
are certain to continue the fig ht
with undiminished valor, but it is
not so certain about the Free
Staters.
Lord Roberts has not allowed
the correspondents or descriptive
writers with him to supplement
his plain narrative as yet, and
there are some points In doubt. 1t
is not clear whether the 4, 900 pris-
oners include those taken in small
parties before the capitulation.
What has become of the rest of
the Beers who held the Magers-
fontein lines aud where are the
big guns? The smallness of Cron.
je's force causes some wonder
ment.
The morning papers, without
exception, comment on the achiev-
ment 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 a
hard time in Natal. 1t is evident
now, after fortnight's fighting,
that he was misled when he wired
that there was only weak rear
guard between him and Ladysmith.
Apparently, some of the hardest
lighting of the war took place at
the end of last week, as an armis-
lice was agreed upon to allow at
lance upon the wounded aud

HORSES AT THE TOP.
Most Honorable Position War Horse
Can Occupy Is Bearer of the
KettIedrums.

There are grades of honor, even
among horses. We are apt to think of
the war horse as a proud animal, and so
he is, and has right to be, for he is
called upon to be as brave as he is
proud. But proudest and most digni-
fed of all the horses of the army is
the animal that fills the position of
drum horse in the regimental band. In
the British army cavalry bands are
mounted, and the most honorable po-
sition in all the band is that of the
bearer Of the kettledrums. The horse
is selected for his distinguished appear
ance. He is often piebald, although
sometimes pure white; but whatever
his color, his appearance must be con-
sistent with the conspicuous position
he has 70 ill. says Youths Companion.
Something more than mere beauty
of form is required Of the drum horse
lie must be trained until he becomes
a dignfied and graceful bearer of the
handsome trappings that pertain TO
his high calling. His education is Sc
we're ana prolonged. bringing him ur
to that point where his pride and in
telligence make him equal TO the du-
ties required Of him.
His nerves are severely tried by the
booming of the large drums he carries,
but in time he becomes as Indifferent to
their aoise as war horses do TO the sing
ing bullets. In the parade his rider
has his hands fun in the use of the
sticks. lie controls the horse by means
of reins fastened to the stirrup straD
near the foot
The fame of the drum horse is often
won on the field of battle, and some
times a war horse that has won laurels
on the battlefield and can carry himself
with becoming dignity in parades IS
promoted to the honored position of
drum horse in the regimental band.

SAN JUAN VALLEY
The Stockmen Do Not Have to Feed
Their Cattle This Season.
HAS Big COAL MEASURES
The Country Settling Up With Missouri
Farmers and q Large Irrigation Ditch
Is Projected to Water Their
Lands.

DIR. E. G. Condt of Aztec, is spending
few days in the capital on pleasure
trip. DR.. Condit is an affable young
man who is enthusiastic about the pres.
ent and future possibilities Of the San
Juan valley. He states that the valley
has thus far enjoyed an open winter and
all cattle except beeves for market are
feeding on the open range. The cattle
men bought all the alfalfa from the
farmers at good prices, but will probably
sell again in the spring, as they have no
need for it except for feeding beef cattle.
Farmers as we'll as cattlemen are happy
and are looking forward to a prosperous
year.
Immigrants, mostly from Missouri, are
flockng to the country and taking up
government land or buying from old
settlers, who find that they have more
than they can cultivate. Good land
under fence and ditch sells for SIS to
$40 an acre.
A new community ditch on the Bloom
field mesa has been surveyed. The main
ditch will be nine miles long and will
run across government land. Its con-
struction will cost SAC, 900, to be paid for
by settlers. who intend to pre-empt land
There is plenty of water in the San
Juan apd the Animas rivers. The Ami
mas is at present 110 feet wide and two
to four feet deep, while In summer it
reaches q width Of $50 feet and increases
in depth. The San Juan is now so high
that 1t is dangerous to ford.
Aztec is by no means enjoying boom,
but is growing steadily. The number
of houses in this county seat has doub-
led during the year AMI still there is
need for about twenty more residences.
A building to cost $4,000 will probably
be constructed during the year, and be
rented for court house purposes to the
county. The town has now about 400
inhabitants, while Pennington, 20 miles
away. has almost that many.
Delinquent taxes are being paid off
rapidly, and there will be enough money
In the court fund to hold spring and a
summer term of court.
DR.. Condit spoke of the immense
coal measures near Aztec, some of which
have not yet been filed upon. The local
supply is taken from the surface and
furnishes good coal, that burns with
out clinkers. Some of the coal measures
are 80 feet thick at the surface, and in.
crease in size and quality with depth.
The Colorado Fuel & Iron company Is
quietly investigating the coal measures
as welt as the Indications OF petroleum
around Aztec. This may result In a
railroad to Aztec and Pennington.
DR.. Condit states that q railroad from
Santa Fe to the San Juan coal fields
would not cost as much as the road from
Ell Paso to the Captain coal fields has,
and would traverse much richer region.
If the Santa Fe should build such line
it could extend 1t to Durango and then
across Winnemucca pass, the easiest
pass In Colorado, to Wyoming and Mon
tana. DR.. Condlt Is sure that the rail-
road to Aztec will come in the near fu-
ture and those who pin their faith to the
San Juan valley now will then reap the
benefit.
