CrOnje and His Men.

When the long roll call is sounded,
On the camping ground of Fame,
And each hero of the ages
Answers "Present!" to his name,
Mid the first of all the answers
That shall ring out clearest then
Will be heard the steadfast voices
OF brave Cronje and his men.
When they felt the British lion
Drawing carer to his prey,
And they heard his growl of thunder
Growing deeper day by day,
They still fought with hearts undaunted
Till all hope of aid had fed,
TIL they saw their friends and brothers,
Fen their women, mid the dead.
They are victors, though defeated
They have to the nations shown
How the men of veldt and mountain
Can, though dying, hold their own.
Let their names be blazOned proudly
On Times honor roll and when
Men shall seek the names of heroes,
Call brave Cronje and his menl

FRENCH NATAL POLICE.
of the Credits for Eight
 submarine Boats.

Paris, March In the chamber of deputies to-day while the naval esti- mates were under consideration, M. Lockroy, former minister of marine, made q notable speech explaining his views regarding the proper naval pol icy for France to follow. He declared it necessary that France should make great monetary sacrifices for her navy; as her foreign policy depended upon her naval strength. He expressed his regret that the government had thought fit to suppress the credits proposed for eigh submarine boats of the Narval type and urged that steps be taken to render Bizerta the most northern town Of Africa in Tunis impregnable
 M. De Lenessan, minister of marine, in reply defended the construction of number of iron clads and announced that the construction of submarine boats had only been postponed until the type could be perfected. He assured the chamber that the work now in course of construction at Bizerta would guarantee its safety. In conclu- sion, M. De Lanessan called attention to the bills already submitted by the to parliament, asserting that these made adequate provision for an increase in the strength of the navy.

TWISTED IN IRO OUBLE AGAIN.
Y sterday's Rain Causes Another Fresh
 ct-Merchnnts Sufer.

Winsted, March 1.-To-day's rain de- veloped another freshet, surpassing that of a few weeks ago, but attendant with less damage, however The Mad river, which flows through the center of the town, rose more than four feet and the cellars of many of the business houses that lined the banks of the river were flooded. In several cases the merchants were unable to remove their goods and will suffer considerable loss. The river side foundation of the Roberts block, which was washed away at the previous freshet, was again carried away this af- ternoon and the families which occu- pied three stories of 1t are lodging else- where tonight. The east end of the towd, notably Rowley ann Willow streets, is impossible and the streets are flooded to the depth of between two and three feet. The factory of the Winsted Shoe Manufacturing company was en- tirely surrounded by water and it was necessary to suspend operations.

NO LET UP IN BRITISH ENERGY.
During March assoc Reinforcements
 Arc to be Sent to Somth AfrIcn.

London, March 1.--In the house of lord to-day the secretary of state for war; the Marquis of Lansdowne, reply ing to congratulations and a question, prefaced his announcement of the relief
 of Ladysmith by saying that the news had at last removed the fear of an i'm pending calamity. He added that he did not know whether most admiration should be given to General White and
 the gallant defenders of Ladysmith, or to the brave men under Gen. Butler, or to Lord Roberts, to whose vigorous and successful offensive movement was due the fact that the pressure on Natal was relieved Continuing, Lord Lans- doWne said:
 "The two recent successes will not be made the pretext for the relaxation of our efforts, which will not be relaxed. In the week ending March 8 eight ships will leave England, carrying 4,700 men; during the week ending March 10 fifteen ships, carrying 11,S00 men, will leave for South Africa; during the week ending March IS, eleven ships, with $500 men, will sail, and during the week ending March "A nine ships carrying S,200 men, will sail; assoc men in all, and during the following month about 17,S00 men will be ready, for whom ships have not yet been allotted. The stream of endorsements will not run dry"
 The Earl of Kimberley, the liberal leader of the. house of lords, associated himself with the congratulations ad dressed to Lord Lansdowne, paying a special tribute to the Canadians, and the Prince of Wales who was present, heartily shook hands with the secretary of state for war, and conversed with him.

FIRST NEVIS OF RELIEF.
General Fuller Sends TWO Dispatches
 Visits Lndysmtth.

1 London, March Tt was officially
 announced this morning that Lady l smith had been relieved. The war of
 flee, at 10 a. m., made public the follow l ing despatch which it had received
 from General Butler.
 1 Lyttleton's Headuarters, March. l.
 9:05 a. m-General Dundonald, with 1 the Natal Carbineers and a composite regiment entered Ladysmith last night.
 The country between me and Lady smith is reported clear of the enemy. l am moving on Nelthorpe.
 At 6:55 D. m. General Butler tele- graphed from Nelthorpe, under to-day's date that he had just returned from Ladysmitl1. He added that the whole country south of that place was cleared of the Boers. The following is the text of General Buffers despach:
 "Nethorpe, March 1-5:20 p. m.-I have just returned from Ladysmith. Except small guard north of Surprise Hill, the whole of the enemy lately be-
 sieging the town shave retired in hot haste, and to the south of the town the country is quite clear of them. The garrison were in half pound of meat per day a man, and were supplementing the meat ration by horses and mules. The men will want a little nursing be- fore being fit for the field"
 While it is generally realized that Lord Roberts strategy is mainly re- sponsible for the relief of Ladysmith, there is feeling of anxiety lest his plans suffer from the forces which Gen. eral Butler may have let slip into the tot vi . awake to the situation. It is reported in London, but the news is not con- firmed, that General French has already reached Bloemfontein, which is not inn probable, as the Boers are hardly ex- pected to make a stand there. The sig nifcance of General Kitchener's pres ence at Arundel is not yet explained.
 When the news of the relief of Lady, smith became generally known London literally went mad with joy and throughout England the scenes wit messed have no parallel in the memories of this generation. The pent-up jubila- 'tion at the relief of Kimberley and the defeat of Cronje could no longer be controlled, and with to-day's crowning triumph the national trait of self-re- straint was thrown to the winds. The storm of rejoicing centred around the Mansion house, and by noon thousands of persons blocked the many approaches to the building. It was a dense, black mass, composed chiefly of business men, the majority of them carrying little union jacks. There was a great sale of flags to-day.
 Through the cheering throng there to froa this was utilized by the 'busses going from east to west. All traffic in other was blocked for hours. The
