CRONJB WILL
DIE FIGHTING
Though it is Reported That He
Has Surrendered.

Details Cftha Six Days Of Battle Show
That the Brave Bocrs Are Fighting
Desperately Against Force Ol
: Three Times tn, ir Number.
LONDON, Feb. % The Daily News
in its second edition says Gen
CTonia has surrendered.
The war Office says it has received
40 confirmation of this report.
Military men here say they do not
believe that Cronje VIII surrender,
but that he will fight till death.
Details Of the six days of battle at
Paardobcrg drift show that Cronje's
forces are surrounded and that his
men are fighting desperately against
a force of British three times their
number. Il is estimated that the
killed and wounded reaches thOus-
ands.
Gen. Kitchener received what pur-
ported TO be message from Gen.
Cronje saying that he saw no other
course open to him but to surrender.
On receipt of this message Gen.
Kitchener proceeded to the BOer
laager TO arrange the capitulatiOn.
but met a messenger who announced
that Gen. CrOnje said the whole
thing was a mistake and that he pro-
posed to fight until he died.
Gen. Kitchener then ordered
bombardment of the BOer position.
The fire Of all the powerful British
guns was concentrated on spot
about mile square and the eXplOd-
ing shells raised great clouds of
smoke, filling the bed of the river
and scorching every bush in the
ravines.
The roar was deafening and the
fire very effective, yet with a spirit
of madness the Beers attempted to
''Snipe' the naval gunnerS who were
firing at a range of only thousand
yards.
The inevitable outcome of the bat
tie seems TO be that Gen. CrOhje and
his brave men are doomed.
Cr-nje Still Fighting.
The report that Gen. Cronje has
surrendered is officially denied. The
latest reports from Paardeberg drift
show that he l. still fighting with

and it is alleged that the Beers are
without water and cannot possibly
hold out much longer. They mum.

y dispatch from Boer sources
dated at Pretoria yesterday says
heavy fighting has been resumed at

has again been repulsed.
A British di-patch from Chievlly
camp, dated Wednesday, says five
hundred Beers recrOssed the Tugela
and made a stand on the south bank.
Later they retired. The Beers are
shelling the northern slopes Of
hill. 1t is unknown
whether they intend to seriously re-
sist the British march or not.

smith Wednesday says the bonn
