FALL OF B L0E3I FOXTEIX The Little Kriti-h General Officially Presented With Keys of City Of- , flee and Given Great Ovation. President Steyn Fled and Set Up New Capital First Half of the Campaign fs Over. New York. March 15. Montague White confirms the rumors that the IVoers will ntterjr destroy Johannesburg If forced to do no. Pretoria could not le fieft-nded, he says. If Johannesburg were permitted to rema i a. .London, March 15. Tlie first half of the campaign la over. Lord Roberts rrlrwl at Jdodder ICiver on February 0. lie enferud IJloemfontelu on March 13. Thus, lu little over a month he baa affected the relief of Klmberly and Lutlytimlth, the capture of en. Cronje'a fon-es und the hoisting of the ISrltlsh flo in the capital of the Free Htate. All this has been accomplished With comparatively trifling lotwes. It la small woimUt that be is the hero of the hour lu England. All the newspaper euloKlze him and congratulate the country. They talk of the free state an having pawned out of existence ami as being now one of the shadows of history. It Is not doubted that there may yet be heavy fighting, but the genius of Lord IJolKrts is looked to for victory over all difficulties. Ills grim refer ence to the "Late" President Steyn Is understood to show that there shall te no ambiguity as to the position as fumed toward the republics. The fact that Mr.' Frnzer, late chairman of the Free State Ka.-md and leader to the opposition to Mr. Steyn. came with the deputation to surrender the keys. Is regarded as extremely significant f considerable difference of opinion among the free staters regarding the war. It Is said that President Krnger bates Mr. Frazer on account of his sympathy with the Outlanders. The demonstrations of the Itloemfonteln inhabitants are also regarded as a good augury for the future of the Krltlsh supremacy. It Is Interesting, In connection with the rapid advance of Lord Roberta, to learn that the Russian military attache with the Boers who were captured by the British sent the following telegram to the Cr.ar; "I am perfectly amazed at the energy In action and the endurance of the British Infantry. I need say no more." There Is still no news as to whether Lord Rola-rts has captured any rolling stock. If he has not. then he will be obliged to wait until the repairing of the bridges over the Orange river enable him to bring rolling stock np. The British continue pressing tiieir adTance on the Orange river. The Boers till hold Rethulie bridge, on the north side of the stream, but their trenches are dominated by the British artillery. Heavy firing Is In progress and there has been some skirmishing. I.ord Kitchener seems to be very successful In reducing the extent of the Dutch rising. FCUTHKK ttlCTAILS A Correspondent's IVwriptioii of the Taking of Hloemfoitteln. London. March 15. A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Bloemfonteiu dated Tuesday at 7 o'clock says: "We surprised and outflanked the enemy with irresistible force over night, tlen. French held the enemy north and south of Bloemfoutelu, while Lord Roberts dispatched a prisoner on parole, threatening to bombard unless the city surrendered. The townsmen became alarmed. President Steyn and the chief members of the executive round fled and proclaimed Kroonatadt to be the capital. "Steyn fled to Winburg. At last only 8.00O fighting men remained, and in the morning, many finding themselves so weakened, broke their guns. Others fled. The remnant still shelled Gen. French at dawn but the opposition soon collapsed. Eight locomotives and much rolling stock were captured. The Boer organization Is collapsing and the breach between the Freest.! ters and Transvaalers la widening. MaJ. Gen. Prettyman has been anK)!nted military governor of Bloemfontetn. Lord Roberts and his staff have ridden through the town and been everywhere cheered. The British national anthem is enthusiastically sung by the population; the shops are fladly opening and there is general rejoicing. Boer Ixwses at Roshof. Cape Town. March 15. The British troops under Lord Methuen have returned to Kluiberly from the occupa tkn f Boshof, Orange Free State.
