WHILE the surrender of Gen. Cronl-,
who had inflicted such serious damage
to them, is naturally gratifying to the
British, that the capitulation OF four
thousand men should be the cause OF
uncon6ued joy throughout the whole
immense and powerful British empire,
certainly doesn't prove that the people
of that empire are as confident OF the
potentially of their government as
they should be.

CRONJE'S SURRENDER.

The causes of Gen. CroDje's surren
der, as shown by the latest advices
were as follows: Gen. CroDje and hi
men were in a position in which ever
if they could have held out against The
British fire, the unsanitary surround
ings were unb arabic. Many decompOs'
ing bodies Of men and snimals, exposed
to the burning South African sun fol-
days, had caused an odor which even to
the British troops, q considerable dis
lance of, produced more suffering than
the bullets OF the Beers. A second
cause was the terrible bOmbardment,
which was renewed with increased
viQor owing to the arrival of four six.
inch howitzers that had been intended
for the siege of Pretoria. Fully hund-
red cannon, it is believed, were cOncen-
trated on the little force Of Beers. Still
another cause was that the British had
been gradually creeping up at night
and intrenching until, when the end
came, their advanced parties were but
so yards from the Beers and the end
seemed inevitable.
Gen. CrOne and his men were started
for Capetown, where they will be held
as prisoners.
As to the next British moves, it is
believed in London that there will be
an advance on BlOemfontein by Lord
Roberto and an attempt 10 force to re-
lieve besieged Mafeking. General
French is reported to be already on
the way to Bloemfontein. The feeling
in influential quarters OF the British
capital is that the war ia far from end
ed, and that especially severe fighting
will occur when the borders of the
1ransvasl are reached. Eleven thou
sand more troops will SION leave Eng.
land for the front.
In contrast to the success of Lord
Roberts is General Buffers failure 80
far to fight his way to Ladysmith and
Butler has suffered heavy LOSE. Late
dispatches state that on Friday body
OF Irish troops attempted to carry q
bill at Pieters, nine miles south OF
Ladysmith. but met bloody repulse.
losing 266 out of 1863 men. The Beers
have attacked General Buffers flank.
The British loss in the war 80 far is
about 1900 in killed. wounded and
missing. OF these 1892 are missing
and are believed to be prisoners at Pre-
toria.
The Queen and Prince of Wales have
received kilograms Of congrstulation on
Roberts's victory, from the German
Emperor and King of Italy.
