LONDON, Feb. 20, o'clock a.
m.-Special dispatches from Natal,
printed here this morning, indicate
that Butler is driving the Beers
from their positions near Colenso.
Advices from Cape Colony are also
cheering. A member of the Cabi-
net told H. c. Lucy last night that
the War Office had received a tele-
gram announcing that General
Cronje was hopelessly surrounded.
MIR. Wyndham was beset by anxious
members of the House, but would
only reply that the governments
news was extremely satisfactory.
The sole explanation of the gov
ernment withholding good news is
that confirmation and more details
are awaited. 1t was reported In
the lobbies of the House that Gen.
eral French had got between the
Boer forces and Bioemfonteiu, and
that he was only awaiting REIN
forcements to close in on the en-
emy. The War Office, at mid
night, announced that it had moth
ing further for publication from
South Africa.
The Chievely correspondent of
the Daily News, telegraphing yes
terday, says: 1--WE now occupy all
the hills to the right Of Colenso. on
this side of the Tugela, including
Hlangwana, which the Beers evac-
uated last night Sunday. This
capture of Hlangwana hill is of
great strategical Importance, as the
hill commands the flank of the
Boer defenses at Colenso. A sue
cesstul advance, and the recapture
OF the railway, may be expected"
The Daily Mail has the follow
ing dispatch, dated Monday, from
Pietermaritzburg: cit is reported
that Sir Redvers Butler has cap
tured Hlangwana hill. Large num-
bers of Free Staters have left to
meet Lord Roberts's force. 1t is be-
lieyed that number of the Beers
big guns have been taken back
across the border"
Adispatch from Chievely, dated
Monday morning, says: 1.-The
Beers line of fortresses is broken.
The British have achieved de-
cided success in capturing the en-
emy's position on Monte Cristo.
The Beers, however, effectively ex-
ecuted a retreat, removing their
guns and convoy wagons. The
British had comparatively few cas-
ualties."

had made Messrs. Welcome. McDermott

he did not consider these donations in the
nature OF political expenditures. All these
men had given a great deal of time TO pro-
noting his interests and he had been very
glad to make the presents. None of them

They have all done splendidly. The work of

perhaps, most noticeable, while the ex-

Dutton has been working to obtain
his release for more than a year on the
ground thai a person who is financially
unable to pay a fine cannot be held as
a prisoner because of this fact. He
successfully demonstrated to the court
that he could not pay the fine. The

one day for each dollar OF the So, 900,
would amount to more than thirteen
years.
Dutton was sent to Sing Sing prison

tate and for conspiracy to defraud
Washington persons by transferring
New York city property which he did
not own to them in exchange for prop
erty in Washington.
Dutton is considered one Of the most
