THE BRITISH HAD
TO MAKE MANY
FORCED MARCHES.

Paardeberg, Monday. Feb. 26.-De-
layed in transmission.)-On this, the
eighth day Of Cronje's resistance, Gen.
eral Smith-Dorrien has worked up the
river bed to within 200 yards of the Bocr
laager, squeezing the enemy into more
confined space. The stay of the British
here has not been in any way due to
General Cronje, but in order to get sup
plies and rest the troops, which has be-
come absolutely necessary. Now there
are daily arrivals of large conveys allow
ing full rations to the man, which had
at the best been intermittent during the
last three days.
A heavy rain has caused great discom-
fort to the British. but greater to the
Beers, and cold winds will cause many
sick animals. Last night the river rose
and brought down a great number Of
dead Boer horses.
When the history Of Lord Roberts
movement is written it will be found that
the marching power and magnificent en-
durance OF the British soldier is as great
as ever. The march itself. as seen on
the map, would be nothing very marvel
GUS. but 1t must be remembered that the
whole original plan Of march was
changed when General Cronje made his

ROBERTS CONDUCT
IS CRITICISED ON
THE CONTINENT,

New York, Feb 2S.-A special TO the
World from Washington says: Conti-
mental diplomats accept the defeat of
General CrOnje in grim silence. None
will consent to- be quoted for any ex-
preston except that the issue is what
might have been expected. One of the
attaches who has himself served as a
soldier, however, said
There is one aspect of the capitulatiOn
Of General Cronje which is humilating
to every soldier. There is a brotherhood
OF chivalry which binds all professional
soldiers. General Cronje made a gallant
defense. At the cost of the utmost sac
riice and pain he stopped the victorious
Lord Roberts and held his ground until
his hard pressed countrymen could form
for a final defense.
1.-The fact that Lord Roberts and his
lieutenant, Lord Kitchener, compelled
Cronje to the bitter humiliation of pre-
sentlng himself at the tent of his CON-
queror as suppiant for the measurable
boon Of unconditional surrender is re-
quital of bravery not consistent with
chivalrous conduct. Soldiers throughout
the world will be amazed. There was no
possible excuse. The fact that the Brit
ish commanders might have apprehend-
ed treachery is fimsy. The British were
strong enough to have executed the army
were any violation Of war committed.
"Cronje has been brave foe. He
made no discrimination between the
wounded British and his own people.
The bitter humiliation put upon him Is
stain upon Christian knighthood. 1t is
without parallel.
Contrast the conduct of Lords Rob
erts and Kitchener with that of the VIC
torious Schley and Shafter. The utmost
courtesy was shown to their overthrown
fo.s. Philips Don't cheer, men. They
arr dying viii stand in contrast to the
cc.lduct OF the generals who compelled
q gallant foeman who had battled
against tremendous odds to come as an
humble suppliant. even to the very doors
or their tents. to beg for his brave SOL
diers that they might ignominiously sur
render.
''This ruthless, over-bearing conduct
will have am effect upon civilization. Sol
diers will remember this treatment, and
it is possible that on another day it may
be returned with interest"

CR0NJE GOT AWAY
MOST OF HIS
LARGE GUNS,

London, Feb. 2S.-The war expert of
the Morning Leader writes:
-Four thousand Beers and five 49,
pound guns ON one side, three and half
divisions and an enormous increasing
force with a mass of heavy artillery. Yet
the Beers have kept up their contest for
more than a week after General Kelly
Kenny caught them and after General
French headed them off in their line of
retreat
Many Of Cronje's men have got away
and they have saved all their artillery
Whittier they have gone does not yet ap-
pear. Those heavy guns which used to
make Methuen grind his teeth in impo-
tence have disappeared. Where are they
now? Why, of course, on the way to
Bloemfontein. The fact that one third
Of the prisoners are Free Staters does
not induce confidence that General
French will be able to spare many of
his mounted troops for the relief of Mafe-
king.

II take it for granted that General
French and the greater part Of his cav
airy are on their way to Bloemfontein.
! cannot Imagine anything so suicidal as
that the Beers would mass at the capital
of the Free State.
'Ladysmith has not yet been relieved
and the very latest news last night is
far from meeting what we would wish.
Are the Beers presumably retiring, being
reinforced? Are they actually. to out

us very uneasy. It is likely enough that,

The military expert Of the Morning
Post says:
1.-THE surrender of Cronje Is the first
complete victory the British have won
in this campaign. We do not yet know
the size OF the force that has been de-
stroyed. Lord Roberts announces that
he has 1000 prisoners and has taken six
guns.
"After the battle of Magersfontein,
Cronje's force was estimated at not less
than $4,000 men. So, at least, half his
force and most of his guns-including the
larger ones-disappeared before his re-

Washington, Feb. Esd. r. Peeler, a
banker of Kalispell, Mont. was recalled
in the Clark case today. He was called
by the defense to explain Bywater's pos-
session of $4,000 which he said he had
taken to Helena with him and kept in his
trunk during the Legislative session.
When Peeler concluded, Congressman
Campbell took the stand. He first related
his connections with Lyons, one Of the
witnesses for the defense. He said Lyons
came to him saying he mad story to tell
but wanted $1,000 for testifying before the
Montana supreme court or the senate
committee. Campbell said he told Lyons
he could NOT pay him for testifying but
would pay him for his work in looking up
corroborative testimony.
CampbeN also related in detail his con-
nection with Ben Hill, telling how the
latter had come to his office and vO.l1n-
teered to relate his experiences as a
worker for Clark. He had given Hill $3.50

Buffers Hard Task.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: The et-
feet Of the victory upon Sir Redvers Bull
ler's campaign in Natal was discussed by
veterans last night with intense interest.
1t was generally conceded that while
General Joubert's troops would be dis
heartened and General Buffers soldiers
would be inspired to emulate the exam
pile Of their comrades in the west, there
will be more desperate fighting in CON-
sequence Of Lord Roberts success. Gen.
eral oubert now has no motive for an
imnled diate retreat, since it is tt late to
effect General Cronje's deliverance. He
has behind him Sir George Whites army,
which Is nearly starved out and helpless
from lack of ammunition. If he can repel
General Buffers assault upon his strong
defensive positions and drive him back
to the Tugela he cam compel General
White to surrender, and in a way offset
Lord Roberts victory, besides changing
the balance in the comparative lists of
prisoners. The opinion In official circles
last night was that Lord Roberts had
rendered General Buffers campaign more
difficult by his victory.
There was no official news from Gen.
eral Butler when the war office closed at
midnight, and the press dispatches were
fragmentary and inconclusive. It was
clear that there had been weeks heavy
fighting with serious losses on the Brit
ish side. The Beers were apparently re-
inforced on Friday and made a deter
mined effort to drive back the British
brigades.
General Buffers men only held their
ground after desperate fighting. Mill
tary writer's are beginning to criticize
General Buffers tactics in putting for
ward his lines and not massing his troops
for an attack.
