London, Feb. 81, 500 p. m.-The wal
office has received the following dis.
patch from Lord Roberts:
"P%aardeberg, Feb. 81, II O'Clock Tues.
day morning.-From information furn,
ished daily to me by the intelligence
department, it became apparent that
General Cronje's force was becoming
more depressed and that the discomfort
of the troops and the discord amons
the leaders were rapidly increasing
This feeling was doubtless accentuat-
ed by the disappointment caused when
the Boer endorsements which tried
to relieve General Cronje were de,
feated by our troops, on February %.
l resolved, therefore, to bring pressure
to bear on the enemy. Each night the
trenches were pushed forward toward
the enemy's lager so as to gradually
contract his position, and at the same
time bombarded it heavily with ar
tillery, which was yesterday maturi-
ally aided by the arrival Of four six

up from DeAar. In carrying out these
measures, a captive balloon gave great
assistance by keeping us informed Of
the disposition and movement of the
enemy. At 3 a. m. today a most dash
ing advance was made by the Canadian
regiment and some engineers, support
ed by the First Gordon Highlanders
and second Shropshires, resulting in
II gaining a point some 600 yards
nearer the enemy and within about
eighty yards of his trenches, where our
men e~ntrenched themselves and main
tanned their positions till morning-a
gallant deed worthy of our colonial
comrades, and which, | am glad to say,
was attended by comparatively slight
loss.
This apparently clinched matters.
for, at daylight today, a letter signed
by General Cronje, in which he stated
that he surrendered unconditionally.
was brought to our outposts under a
flag Of truce
In my reply l told General Cronje
he must present himself at my camp
and that his forces must come out of
their lager after laying down their
arms. By Z a. m. | received General
Cronje and dispatched a 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. ad-
Jutant and servants might accompany
him wherever he might be sent. | re-
assured him and told him his request
would be complied with. | 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 I'M
der charge of Major General Pretty
man, who will hand him over to the
general commanding at Cape Town.
The prisoners, who number about
5000. will be formed into commands
under our own officers. They will also
leave here today, reaching the Modder
river tomorrow, when they will be rail.
ed to Cape Town in detachments."
The above dispatch was read in botn
the house Of lords and the house OF
commons today. The reference to the
Canadians evoked immense and pro-
longed cheering.

An EmmOns- county gentleman who

Bismarck Tribune, was in the city
last night and gave further and cor
rect details Of the accident. The
gasoline was in one Of number OF
tanks that got away from the river
landing here, by the bank Mhereon
they were standing caving in, after
which they floated down the river.
The Indians found one of the tanks
three miles south of the Wells place.
on the Cannon Ball, and had been
using it for kerosene. War Bonnet
was the Indian who found the tank.
After the explosion one OF the Indians
who had been badly burned rushed
out and thrust his hands in the snow.
When he withdrew them the flesh re.
nlained, leaving the bones Of his hands
bare. Mrs. Black Cloud escaped from
the house, but lost her life in trying
to save her children. The sight after
the explosion was a sickening one.

Mrs. Dobson was the principal in a
rather exciting and somewhat laugh
able occurrence last Saturday. The
lady, who is the widow Of the late
VIM. Dobson, of Fort Yates, was re-
turning east, having reached Fort
Yates just after her husbands death.
She is a very nervous person, and her
nervousness on this occasion was
greatly increased by the stage team
running away between Winona and
La Grace. While no serious injury was
done by the runaway, Mrs. Dobson
was, Of course, badly frightened, and,
when transferred to the Mound City
LaGrace stage, hopefully looked for a
quiet, pleasant ride. John Al,erdings,
who drives this stage, doesn't under
stand the English language very well,
and, when the lady would request him
to drive slow, he thought she was ask
Ing him to drive fast. The faster he
drove the more she would tell him to
drive slow, and at each request he
would whip the horses into q run. The
stage reached town an hour early that
night, with the vehicle badly demol-
ished and the passenger nearly fright
ened senseless. Mound City Courier.

The sober Judgment Of humorist
may sometimes be more impressive
than the philosophy of an ethical
teacher, as when Mark Twain remarks
that "Honor is a harder master than
the law. It cannot compromise for
less than 100 cents on the dollar, and
its debts never outlaw
