proper respect en- route. He will start
this afternoon under charge Of General

here expect that Roberts will exchange

for him.

FRANKFORT, Feb. 27.-The CapitO
hotel is today housing a full-hedged
democratic state government, all the
minor officials having been sworn in
yesterday afternoon. Governor Beck

energy has been injected into the
democratic government and sui,

Today the democratic state treasurer,

Overwhelming Numbers Compel Him
To Capitulate Internationally
NOW A PRISONER IN ROBERTS CAMP
Londoners Insane With Joy Over The
Event, Which Occurs On The
Anniversary Of Majuba Hill

| LONDON, Feb. 27.-The Beers have
suffered serious reverse. Gen. CrOnje
aud the troops under him have sur
rendered to the British. The news
came in the form of an official dispatch
from Lord Roberts, which was posted
at the war office at 1852 o'clock this
morning. The dispatch is as follows:
PAARDEBURG, Feb. 27, 7:45 a. H.
Gen. CrOpje and all his force capitul-
ated Internationally at day light this
morning and he is now q prisoner in my
camp. The strength of his force will
be communicated later. l hope her
msiesty's government will conside
this event satisfactory, occurring as it
does on the anniversary of Msluba.
| (Signed) Roberts.
LONDONERS WILD.
The news of Cronje's surrender
reached London this morning during q
| sudden downpour of rain and spread
by word of mouth almost before the
extras appeared. Englishmen thawed
at once. Absolute strangers stopped
in the streets, shook hands nd slapped
each other on the back.
In Office buildings some went down
the corridors hammeriug doors and
shouting toe glad tidings. Many rush
ed to the telegraph offices while excit-
ed throngs blocked windows and flags
were run up everywhere.
INSANE WITH JOY.
A stranger entering London would
not have known the town. The usual
staid Enelishman was for the moment
insane with Joy. Proceedings on the
stock exchange opened with the sing
ing of, "God Save th Queen" and then
the jubilsnt brokers cheered Roberts,
Kitchener and everybody connected
with the war again and again.
CHEERING CROWDS GVERYwHERE.
Pail Mall was thronged and the war
Office packed with shouting and cheer
ing crowds. Congratulations were ex-
changed on every side. 1t was really
the first chance the public has had to |
jubilate and no one seemed to neglect
the opportunity. The fact that this is |
the anniversary of the battle of Majuba |
Hill adds to the effectiveness of the |
news, carrying as it does the avenRing |
OF a disastrous defeat the British sus.
tained nineteen years ago.
EFFECT OF THE SURRENDER.
The force surrendered by Cronje is
to number from 1000 to 5000. /
Even this will have far-reaching ef-
feet. l. opens the southern Free State to
the British, isolates the Beers In north
ern Cape Colony and more than likely
frees Lsdysmith, news OF which is ex-
pected today.
FUTURE OF THE CAMPAIGN
The Beers, it is known, are now col
leotlng for the defense of Bloemfon
je1n, where another battle 1s likely to
,ccur, but the Transvaal is still un-
;0uched. Stubborn resistance ia ex-
oected there, the hilly country, it is
believed, compelling a long and diff
,ult campaign.

| eral in command. He was taken to
Lord Kitchener to whom he
said Cronjs was willing
to sure nder, he having found
his position untenable and only
defeat and capture in prospect if he
continued to fight. He wished to avoid
the useless shedding of blood and to
save his women and children. He
therefore requested that they be given
safe conduct. General Kitchener
granted the request as far as the wom-
en- and children were concerned. but
insist ted that the surrender in all other
respects must be absolutely uncondi-
tional. To this Cronie agreed.
RECEPTION BY ROBERTS
The Boer commander at once left
his laaQer, escorted by half dozen
officers and entered the British lines.
He was met by Gen. Kitchener, who
imm ediately brought him to the head
quarters OF Lord Roberts. Greetings
b.tween the rival generals were kindly,
and extremely Sympathetic on the
part of Roberts, who has great ad
miration for his captives and the
brave and dignifed conduct on the part
of Cropje.
AIDING THE CAPTIVES.
The condition of affairs in the camp
of the Beers was something frightful.
They ad run entirely out of food, ex
capt trek cattle and these were eaten
as rapidly as they were killed by
half given out and most of their artil- |
lery was badly damaged by British |
fire. Most of their wagons were burn
ed. Everything possible is being done |
to alleviate the condition of the cap
tives.
CRONJE FIGHTING STRATEGIST.
Cronje's surren Ter WAS inevitable. |
His force, now estimated to be 5000.
WAS surrounded by from 80, 900 to so, 900
British with upwards of 100 guns. The
Beers position as one that was chosen
in haste and their defenses consisted
chiefly of big trekking wagons with
which they surrounded their laager.
The wonder is that Cropje held out
as long as he did. although his posi-
ton had been regarded as hopeless
sioce Roberts caught up with him.
Military men now zee method in the
madness of Comics resistance. By
,ccu pying the attention of RoSerts's
main force the gallant Cropje bad
Civ n the Beers time to hurry rein
'orcements to Bloemfontein and to
make q strong second line defense,
either at Bloemfontein or further north
n the hills near Winburg.
