London, Feb. 26.-The plague in India
continues virulent. There were $50 VIC
TINS in Bombay City during the week
ending February Is. With over 6l,OOO,-
900 OF people affected by the famine and
only about 100000 in receipt of relief,
India seems in a bad plight, though the
death rates over the $4,000 square miles
of the famine area are decreasing. The.

approving Professor Haffkins anti-plague

England Is Gay.

London, Feb 26-The fierce fighting
that has made the past week memorable
in the history of Great Britain, has, in
spite of the heavy casualties that accom-
panied it, acted as an exhiarating tonic
upon the nation. 1t is almost with cheer
fulness that the people of Great Britain
are taking their punishment, for now
there is something to show for it, in pleas
ing contrast to the weeks of waiting and
largely adding to the death roll and never
seemed to bring Great Britains forces
nearer to the goal. Hand in hand with
the relief OF Kimberley and the daily
expected relief Of Ladysmith. has come
the relief of London With the fate of
those beleagucred places off their minds
with the national honor free once more to
take its chances ON fair fight in the
field, London has evolved itself from the
depressing gloom that for months over
hung it. There Is now talk of balls, din
ners and entertaining; there are brighter
looks in the faces of the crowds that
throng the streets, and even the women
seem to have brought out gayer gowns.
Apart from the dramatic condition that
came over the situation in South Africa.
the event of the week was Joseph Cham

Tense in the house of commons. The col
onial secretary met the accusations and
demands with one of those terrible fight
! ing speeches for which he is noted. With
VenCmous letort and scoln he once more
denied completely in the Jameson raid,
denied the so-called reveal ions of the In
! dependence Beige, and with strong phrases
resented the opposition's agitation as a
personal attack upon his much prosecuted
self In the heat of the debate, and with
an overwhelming majority ready to cheer
every bitter phrase, Mr.. Chamberlain car
ried all before him Bat after reflection
many of those who thoroughly believed
Mr.. Chamberlain to be absolutely un.
tainted, and who place no importance
upon the letters stolen from Mr. Hawkes.

The Canadians.

A most dashing advance was made by
the Canadian regiment and some engineers
supported by the First Gordon Highland
ers and the Second Shropshiles, resulting
IN our gaining a point some 600 yards
nearer the enemy and within about so
yards of his trenches, where our men en-
trenched themselves and maintained their
positions until morning-a gallant deed
which am glad to say was attended by
comparatively slight loss.
This apparently clinched matters, for
at daylight the letter signed by General
Cronje, in which he stated that he sur
rendered Internationally, was brought TO
our outposts under flag of truce.
I'm my reply l told Cronje he must pre-
sent himself at my camp and that his
forces must come out of their lager after
laying down their arms.
Il received CrOnje and dispatched tel
egram to you announcing the fact. In
the course of a conversation he asked me
for kind treatment at our hands and also
that his wife, grandson, private secretary,
adjutant and servants might accompany
him wherever he might be sent. | reas-
sured him and told him that his request
would be complied with. / informed him
that general officer would be sent to Cape
Town to insure his being treated with
proper respect while en- route. He will
start this afternoon under charge of Major
General Prettyman, who will hand him
over to the general commanding at Cape
Town.
"The prisoners, who numbered about
5000, will be formed into commands under
our own officers. They will also leave
here today, reaching Modder river tomor-
row, when they will be rallied to Cape
Town in detachments"
The above dispatch was read in both
the house of lords and the house of COM
mons. The reference to the Canadians
evoked immense and prolonged cheering.
Balfour, government leader in the house
of commons, said he had no information
relative to the Boer guns.
General Butler has reached the last
strong position of the Beers, but his adj.
vance is slow. He has lost nearly 500 men
in the last three days The Beers are still
IN large force and enough were left in the
Natal to put up a stubborn resistance Ut
every point.

Lord Roberts story.

London, Feb. 2s.-The war office has
received the following dispatch from Lord
Roberts:
"Paardeberg. Feb. 27.-From informa-
ton furnished daily to me by the intelIi-
gence department it became apparent
that General Cronje's force was becoming
more depressed and that the discomfort
of the troops and discord among the lead
erS were rapidly increasing.
This feeling was doubtless accentuated
by the disappointment caused when the
Boer reinforcements which tried to relieve
Cronje were defeated by our troops on
February %. | resolved, therefore, to
bring pressure to bear upon the enemy
Each night the trenches were pushed for
