WITH CRONJE’S MEN,
PRAISE THE BRITISH INFANTRY.
(London Daily Telegtaph. )
Jacobsdal, March 5.—Before leay ing Modder River I witnessed the ar- rival ef close upon 5,000 prisoners, some 4,500 of whom had belonged to General Cronje’s command. ‘They had occupied upwards of three days
Paardeberg, where they had surrend- ered, and when they had covered that distance the great bulk appeared very footsore and weary. Iam informed that they were allowed to rest every two heurs, and in all respects they were treated with marked consideration. In Modder camp I can state, on my ewn authority, that Transvaalers and Free Staters alike received the same fare and accommodation as our own soldiers. Bell tents were provided, and substancial meals served. Every man ate ravenously, and I was assured by many that the repast which con- sisted of hot coffee, beef and vege- tables, was the very best of which they had partaken throughout the campaign. The escort to Modder had been pro- vided by the 3rd Battalion of Grena- dier Guards, supplemented by fifty mounted men belenging to the City of Lendon Imperial Volunteers, Lord Errol being in charge of the. entire
party. Throughout the journey the prisoners were compelled to march
fifty abreast, and this formation was only deviated from on crossing bridges orin traversing narrow defiles. As they tramped through the Orange Free State, surrounded by the Grenadiers and Volunteers, they afforded a fine object lesson to those obstinate people in the country villages who have pre- sisted in hugging the delusion that their countrymen were winning “all along the line.” If further demonstra- tion of this fallacy was required, it was forthcoming the very next day, when five guns captured from the enemy at Paardeburg, consisting of three 12- pounder field guns—Krupps—one 12- pounder quick-firer—bearing the coat of arms of the Free State—and one Vickers-Maxim—the famous ‘“ pom- pom”—were dragged along captive in the track of the prisoners themselves. All these pieces of ordnance bore traces of rough treatment at the hands of our troops, the redoubtable “pom- pon” being the chief sufferer.
It was a picturesque spectacle at night to see thousands of Boer prison- ers sitting by their camp fires at Mod- der. They formed a hugh circle rather tightly packed and around the entire group was posted a_ strong guard fur- nished by the Royal North Lanca hire and Hampshire Regiments. It was my good fortune to be able to pass by the soidiersand to mix amongst the captives, many of whom spoke Eng lish They werea motley crowd, ino their il!-fitting clothes of diverse ma terials, color and fashion, all tattered
and weather beaten, and remind:d m<
of nothing so much as a huge battalior
of English hop pickers. All that re
mained to each man of his original
equipment was a colored 2lanket and ‘canteen’-—generally an old meat tin with a string handle—and a_ watet bottle. It is true that there were a number of young boys in their ranks. and aiso a fair proportion of grey bearded, tottering veterans, but the greater number were adults in the prime of strength and manhood. | was much struck by the dignifled bear- ing of Transvaalers and Free Staters generally. They were prisoners, ¢at- ing the provisions supplied in no stint- ed measure by their captors, but their behavior and comportment was that of free men. They smoked their pipes with evident gusto and talked freely.
I spent nearly one hour in the Boer encampment, and heard many opiniens expressed regarding the conduct and result of the war. Most of the men with whom I conversed had fought at Belmont, Graspan, and Magersfontein, and all, I was delighted to find, had

words of praise for our infantry and ar- tillery. For the cavalry, however, I
heard no words of commendaticn. “At
Belmont, Graspan and Magersfontein, said one grizzled warrior, ‘your horse- men are not nearly good. With alittle more dash they might have taken all our guns. On one occassion Major Albrecht was alone with his guns, but the cavalry come not. ‘They did stop 1oc yards away, and were all surprised.” I am unable to find any confirmation of this disparaging statement with regard to our cavalry atany ofthe actions mentioned, and I quote the words of this Boer prisoner, not because I be- lieve them to be true, but fer the reason that they were endorsed unanimously by his companions.
Most ef these tattered peasant seldiers, though tired of the strife them- seives and glad to have exchanged the
hardship of a rough campaign for the good feod and hospitality of the Brit- ish, expressed their conviction thai the campaign “was only just started.”
The surrender of Crenje and his com-
mand was admitted to be a grave
disaster, and my informers were gener-
ally convinced that the misfortune
would be retrieved before the Vaal
river was crossed. Here I ought to
state that the Transvaal and Free Stat-
ers Were net equally sanguine. It was
evident that the spirit of the latter had
been crushed considerable, though the
presence of so many of their allies pre-
vented them from confessing as much.
I learnt afterwards that during the two
days prececing the surrender of Cronje
the Free Staters had only been kept
up to fighting mark by the combined
threats and persuasions of the Trans-
vaalers. “We have tired of the war,”
said one man, ‘‘for weeks and I will
write to my peeple totell them to
rake their peace. Your troops are
not as we thought; they are brave and
strong, and will march to Pretoria.”
‘Those with whom I was able to con-
verse were doctors and lawyers who spoke English fluently, for which
reasen I attach more importance to their statements than to the wild re- marks of the rough and _ illiterate peasants who form the bulk of the Boer army.
ALBRECHT’'S OPINION.
The London Times publishes the following from its Bloemfontein corres- pondent :—
cr
Col. Albrecht, the German officer who has been responsible for so much of the ‘Transvaal strategy, when taken prisoner, expressed himself at a lunch- eon party very openly on the situation, and gave the fo'lowing impressions which he had fermed of the British arms. Speaking ef the engagement at Enslin (Graspan), he said :—
* * You did conceal nothing. We held two lines running at right angles to each other. You did send one bri- gade to make a formal attack, and two brigades to attack the flank. We saw all this. We left just sufficient men to contain your feint, and for the rest we galloped across tu the kopjes at right angles to tue front. Your attack then
SALT RHEUM TORTURES
Die away before the magical effect of
Dr. Chase’s Ointment
The tortures of Salt Rheum are almost be- yond human endurance, and as the flesh be. comes raw, and the itching and burning increase, the suffering is so intense as to almost drive one crazy.
In desperation salves and ointments are applied, only to give rise to farther cisappoint- ment and despair.
But there is hope. There is assurance that you can be cured just as scores and hundreds of others have been by using Dr. Chase's Ointment.
Mr Johr Siron, of Aultsville, Ont., writes: “For seven years I was a sufferer from Salt Rheum, and my han:ls were so bad I had te wear greased gloves. Nothing seemed to help me, but I was induced to try Dr Chase’s Oint ment, and one box cured me completely, There is not a trace of the Salt Rheum left.”
D1. Chase's Ointaent has effected most miraculous cures in all parts of this great Dominion. Could you have better assurance that it willeure you? For sale by all dealers, er Eamanson. Bates & Co.. Toromto,

Wecansee We see a bush with a pole sticking up behind it, and we say there is the cavalry. And they always go home at night to their bivouac, That is no good, we can see, ['wice did I give up two of our xuns for lost. We did hide them in a donga. But your cavalry did go home. ‘They are no good. Your artillery is spten- did. ‘They come out in the open, they do not mind, but they do give me a splendid target with their limbers. ‘They have discipline, they do not mind,

Your mounted infantry is nothing. They are good infantry, but why put good infantry on horses? They are; lost, they see nothing, they are all the time holding on their hats. Cronje is ne soldier. When we did see the Eng- lish did do nething in front of us, but that the camp did grow and grow, I did say to Cronje, “what will you do, they will turn your flank ?” He answered, “the English caanot leave the railway —I willstay.” Then we did see the cavalry moving into the Free State. Then I did say “Cronje, they will turn your flank, what will you do?” He answered, “the English infantry cannot leave the railway—I will stay!” Then we did see the infantry no more. They were gone. Wedid notknow ‘Then I did say to Cronje, “they will turn: your flark, what will you do?” He said, “I willgo.” Then we went. I did see that with allthe waggons the English would catch us. I said, “Cronje, you must go quickly.” He said, “I cannot go more quickly with my waggons.” I said, “‘you must leave your waggens.” Then Cronje “makes answer that he will not leave his wag- gons. Heis no seldier. The Boer is no good. He has no discipline. It is all right if they are placed ona_ kopje with their commandant. There they
-
will die. But if you say to half a com- mando, ‘‘Now you come here,” they willall be gone. Allto their farms.
They are no soldiers. ‘They have not
