BRITISH JUBILANT

Surrender Subject of Rejoic ing From John O'Groats to Lanseml. 3IAJUIJA HILL AVENGED The War Not End!, bnt New Phase Presented by 1 bin Capit u I,it ion. Believed That the Transvaalers Will Lout in ne Fkrht With l"ndimiihed Ardor. London. Feb. 28. The official dispatch from Iitirtl Hotx-rts announcing the capitulation of Urn. Crouje and bla force In as follows: Taardelierg, Feb. 'SI. Oen. Cronje and all bis force capitulated uucondl tionally at daylight and U now a pris oner In my camp. The strength of his force will 1m eommtink-ated later. boK that her inajcty8 government will consid.-r thin event satisfactory, ccurriug as it doc on the auulver ary of Majuba." Ixndon, Feb. 28. From John Centals to I jukI.-umkI there has Uvd eheerinj; for the pifn and a universal eliijrln,r of the national anthem. This, with mutual congratulations. Is the Hrltoim way of celebrating the uiont cheerful day of the war. Already he is taking stock of the situation and ineiiMuririK the future. There is no diHpoHitiou to overestimate the sue cess. The government entertains no illusion. As announced in the house of commons 10.HH) additional troops will Immediately ro out and the ef fective force will lie kept near 200.000. Lord Itoitertn has done more than to capture 4.0o Itocrs and few guns, lie Is within striking distance of one of the Boer capitals and ts master of a larpe district of the Free State. lie ha 8 given a shock to IWr confidences and Immeasurably restored the spirit of his own troops. In capturing Cronje he has taken a leader whose presence alone wus worth thousands to the Boer cause. The liest opinion here Is that the Transvaalers are certain to continue the fight with undiminished valor, but It Is not so certain about the Free Stature. M01KST "BOBS" ITafl Not Allnwrtl Correspondents to Supplement Mis IMaiu Narrative. Loudon. Feb. 2& Lord Itoberts bas not allowed the correspondents or descriptive Writers with him to supplement his plain narrative as yet, and, -lUere are some iMunt Iu dtfPVfc JA-K Include .thoe' taken iu small parties tiefore the capitulation. What has lMcome of the rest of the Boers who held the Magersfonteln lines and where are the big guns? The small lies of Cronje 's force causes some wonderment. The morning pnpers. without excep tion, comment on the achievement of the Boer leader and men in holding off for 10 days a force from six to eight times as large as their own. British opinion Is far more generous In vict ory than In defeat. Sir Iledvers Buller is having a hard time In NataL - It is evident now after a fortnight's fighting, that he was mislead when he wired that there was only a weak rear guard between him ami Ladysmith. Apparently some of the hardest fighting of the war took place at the end of last week, as an armistice was agreed uin to allow attendance upon the wounded and burial of the dead. Both sides must have lost heavily. ClIANttK OK TACTICS Iltiera I.ikclv to Adopt Intensive Measure. II em-tort h. Buffalo. FeU -S. Montague White of Pretoria, former consul general of th..

-Ah teUhau

Frankfort, Ky., Feb. S. Two sta governments, completely officered, and each claiming to lie the regular and legal official are in Frankfort aud will, remain, each claiming the right to administer the affairs of stat" till the question is adjudicated in the courts. The only ludicrous tiling about the contests came Into the situation yesterday. As anticipated, the banks refused to recognize either of the contending factions and as a result IsitU are without money and the state funds are as securely tied up as they could be. Legislators, county as well as state officials and all kinds of contractors with the state, will have to wait until somelHsly is authorized by a decision of the court to pay them and the state will have to wait on what is due it till tlie courts say who is authorized to receive it. Tlie Democratic stare officers have opened ortiices in the Capitol hotel. The charitable and ienal state institutions are among the sufferers. A St. liiiuis Wedding. St. Iiotiis. Feb. I'S.

Yesterdav a young woman who claimed to have but one leg from the knee down worked people, including this omce, for contributions to help in the purchase of a timber prop for herself, to take the place of the absent tibia, fibula, etc. She played her part verv well, though some thought she had the right limb doubled up to give that appearance. She gathered considerable money on her rounds, and excited a good deal of pity among the charita bly inclined - wherever she hobbled. Occasionally there was a skeptic, however. One man who was most deeply touched by the gin deprivation, says our informant, became much interested in her and laid Dlans to do more jrood for her than merely to give her a pittance for her temporary relief, lie made a plan by which she might attend the local business college or some other,obtain a business education and secure a Dosition. All this was feasible, a she was intelligent, good looking and fairly well dressed. Then the fact came out that the ertrl could give no place that she had ever called home, and no locality to which she was in any degree indigenous. She was a auitter, point blank, when it came to teaching her to heiD herself to obtain anv perroa nent relief. The charitably" incl.ned man gave her np as a hopeless case. Later it was ascertained that a big lazy lout of the male variety was usim? th woman a source of in come for himself. He is classed amonsr thnsp too healthy to work, except as the verb "to work" is made transitive, and emnloved the woman to pull money out of " the pockets of the pubue by playing upon their susceptible svmnathjes. All such cases should be investi gated before one penny U given.
