TIIF BOER CAM?
Found in a Frightful Condition Af=
ter the Surrender.
A. desphitela from Paardeberg Myst—
Gen. t:r'onJe, commander of the Orange
Free Stale army, has surrendered un-
oonelltionelly to the Brioni toren
wader Lord Roberta, and is now a
poisoner In this eampa t
Cronje sent an enlace through the
I3rilieh lines at daw>it on Tuesday
morning with a flag of truce. The
offieer Bail he had a message from the
13ritiah general oommanuing. Ile
waw Laken to Lord Kitchener, to wLom'
he said C mpjc was, willing to sur-
render, 'lus-vin;g found his position un-
tenable, and only defeat and capture,
in lirpact of continued fighting. Ile
wished to avoid useless shedding of
bloodd
, and to save his
women
and
children,. He requested that they bo
given safe conduct.
Lord Kitchener granted the request
as fax as the women and ohl:dren were
concerned, but requested tno surrend-
er of ad troop and arms, To this
Cronje agreed.
The Boor commander at once left his
Nagar, escorted by half a.dozen offi-
cers, and entered the British :Wes. Ile
wits met by Lord Kitchener, who im
mediately brought himto the head-
quarters; of Lord Roberts.
The greetings between the rival gen-
eras were kindly, extremely sympa-
thetic on the part of Lord Roberts,
who bas a great admiration for his
captive, and brave and dignified on
the part of Cronje.
T.bs ooneltlon of•atfairs in the camp
of the Boers was something lr gle ful.
They had run entirely out of food, ex-
cept their cattle, and these were eaten
sea rapt le as they were killed by Brit-
ten sh• Ile. Their eminent ion had given
. cul, and most of their arEllery was
badly wrecked by the British lire.
Most of their wra.gens were burned.
The Imager was srrewn with corpses
Of the dead, lying in 'the broad light,
unburied and fettering. Tire wounded
were in an awful gybe. The he pital
corps were iinset:talent to attend to
thane, and they bay about lira laagar in
heaps, some crying piteously, others
Shrieking with pain, while Many sit-
en,ly endured their agony.
Tne British troops, lmmedrafely on
taking possession of the Iauger( were f
ordered by Lord Roberts to devote all
their attention to ea000uring the 1
wounded and burying the dead, eel well
ea oaring tui ane women and children
who pa .1c -stricken and in expectation
of come awful punishment; Could hard
ly be induced to accept kindness or aid
item their conqucrurs. he Br.tt b
eommlesariat wee taxed to the utmost
to give immedipte relief to the sutler -
ars, but everything possible 1s beteg
done co alleviate the condition of the
eaptrvee.
Tne Canadian contingent and the
Goatee 11 ghlandere tock a eeom n.n,;
part in the.ogtnration immediate:y pro-
telco the surrender, They ru h d he
trendies of the enemy, after which a

the negotiations which resulted in the
unconditional teleran -der of the Iioer'S.
SCENE IN CRONJES CAMP.'
In a despatch from Paardebeig,dat-
ed Tuesday, a staff oorrespendent
says:—
" On my first visit to Gen. Cronje's
camp, 1 was admitted insile,.even bo -
fore the British guard, At every ten
paces I came upon .the swollen car-
casses et horses. or mules, tainting the
air. It seems impassiLle that the
thousands could have endured such a
frig -hetet stench.
' The river banks were honeycomb-
ed with trenches, such as never had
Leen seen be ore in war. These were
really underground dwellings. Un-
less a shelf were to drop straight down
into theopening,. it would not reach
the interior, Flat trajectory projec-
tiles would be bound to fall to touch
them.
"The Boers were lying or sitting on
the ground, their facet haggard and
wan they sued there wits not a drop
of spirits in the lamer. Every counten-
anoe shcavett joy amt the end of a dread-
fu4 awe. Some a2 them laughed, and

force, is rapiely moving north eking

' 0xlseets to ooeupy Neltborpe, four
Miles south or hero, by to -night. It is
expected B611er'e main column will
reach here to -night or to -morrow, The
Boers have not made any demonstra-
tion from Bulwayana this morning,
and it la donbtfu't if they etre aware of
the entrance or raradoneld Into Lady-
smith, They unquestionably have re-
tired in great numbers from the wean -
Ley surrounding Ladysmith, £os, 0e
cording to Lundenald's retorts, the
bills that lad been occupied by the
enemy to the southwest were bare of
Boers yesterday.
LADYSMtyIi IN DIItE STRAITS.
Dundonald came just in time. We
were in deeperate straits for waters
to drinkm and fevers of various kinds t
were making sad havoc among the '
members of the' brave garrison,
y nattily a1( elle lrree Staters
spoke English, bet there wee not a
word about Sighting for liberty, the
only expressions being those of joy
over the present deliverance.
"Oae man, shaking h:s fist in the
direoion of Genertct Cronje, exoloim,.
ed, 'That man deserves to be shat: Not
n woman or child in camp had been
hurt. except one girl, who showed an
jural Iinger=:ip. There were heart -
'ending gree'ing3 between several man
anti their wives. Several youths of
rem 16 t:0 18 years were in camp.
"The Transvaalers appeared. to have
est their former truculency.”
NEW OPERATIONS,
Roberts' Plan to Round Up the
Enemy In Cape Colony.
A despatch from London, Thursday,
says;—Lord Roberts yesterday cabled
the War Office as follows:—''Rons-
,berg was re -occupied yesterday by
Gen. Clements."
Beyond this brief mention nothing
official has been received, but a report
!comes from Capt Town that Gen.
Kitchener is now at Arundel, and that
{the Boers are retreating toward Nor-
val's pont. If 'this is so, the movement
would seem to be a voluntary with
drawal in accordance with. the Boer
plan of defence. Lord Roberts' object
is probably to force them north, cut
off their retreat, and surround them
as he 'did Cronje's army on .the Mod
der.
An official despatch from Slerk-
stroom, dated Tuesday,says ass that im-
portdnt operations are developing in
Gen. Gatemen; district. His Intelli-
gence .department reports that 4!r
Boars were killed during a reoonnais

LONDON MAD WITH JOY.
A despatch frena London says:—
When the news of the relief of Lady-
smith became generally known London.
literally went mad with joy, and
throughout England the scenes wit-
nessed have ne, parallel in .the memor-
les of this generation. '1ho pent-up ju-
bilation et the relief ofliimberley and
the defeat of Cronje could no longer
be controlled, and with to -day's crown-
ing triumph the national trait of self-
re.straint was thrown to the winds.
CONG'R,ATIJLA'l'.LONS WIRED,
The Lard Mayor', f London immedi-
oti.ly tel.g his cougraLula tioas
to Gens. White and .Buller, and when
the Queen received the news at Wind.

t'he cattle were rung in honor of the
event.
EVERYBODY WAVE.O '!FLAGS.
This stone of jubilation centred
arilund the Mansion house, and by
noon thotusunds of persons blookett the
many approaches t0 that grim build-
ing. It was u clens0, Brack mass, com-
peted dimly of business nem, the maa-
jority of them onrrylug tattle Union
leeks. Never before nate there such a
Sala of flags as today. Through this
elteering tbrong there was only one
avenue open to trafric, and. this was
utilized by tbe trusses going from east
to west. All tnartie in ether directions
ev,as stalled for hours.
CHEERS FOR THE GENERAL.
The truly way to got past Elle Man-
sion Ilalrsm was by mounting the
busts, which soon began to resemble
chariots in a triumphant pageant.
Stook brokers bankers, clerks and
svorkin.g--men clambered on top, and, its
the 'busses lumbered past the ilistorlo
building they stood up, waving flags,
!tats and theal dkerchiefs, and ((alling for
Meters Son Buller and Roberts. A. migh-
ty shout answered them iron the
evowds .through; which they %oro itnss-
I ng.
' AN II:NDLESS 11ROCRSSION,
The procession became , nettle/me,
yet the crowd never tired of cheering
ovary time the name of White, .Buller
and Roberts was mentioned, anti off
name hats and up went filo little' flags,
nrave old financiers waved as vigor -
misty and yelled as frantically as the
urchins who had clambered the Mrtlt-
Bion House steps, their ,toy that Eng-
land's honor had been saved.
THE NATION RELIEVED. .
The strain that for 118 days had kept
the nation in anxiety was removed.
Tho Lord Mayor showed himself at a
window, out of welch hung a huge
city imperial volunteer flag, and the
crowd strained for a louder; yell. Staid
magnates grabbed flaring posters a
from newsboys and brandished "Lady-
smith Relieved" to the roaring throng.
BUSINESS SHUT OUT.
:311 thought of business was for-
gotiten. Nothing could bo done on the
Surok Exchange, except to sing "God
Save Lila Queen," and. to cheer. Bus- a
nese closed at 1 u'alook. No one e
wanted to trade on such a day as this..
The stores put up their shutters and
gave their employees a holiday..Great
ensigns floated in the sunlight from
hunarecls o1 buildings and little Un- s
ion Jaoks lit up the murky city win-
dows,

°glance has felly established the
fent that all the nervous energy of our
bodies is generated by nerve centres
located near the base of the brain,
',Then the supply of nerve force has
been diminished either by excessive
physical or mental labours, or owing to
e. derangement of the nerve centres, we
are first conscious of languor or tired
and worn-out feeling, then of a mild
form of nervousness, headache, or
stomach trouble, which is perhaps suc-
ceeded by nervous prostration, chronic
indigestion, and dyspepsia, and a gen-
eral eioking of the whole system. In
this day of hurry, fret and worry, there
are very few who enjoy
select
y J y P health
nearly everyone has some trouble, an
ache, or pitiu, a weakness, a nerve
trouble, something wrong with the
stomach and bowels, poor blood, heart
disesse, or sick headache; all of which
are brought on by a lack of nervous
energy to enable the different organs of
the body to perforin their respective
work.
South American Nervine Tonic, the
marvellous nerve food eudhealthgiver,
is asatisfying success, awoad rous boon
to tired, sick, and overworked men
and women, who have suffered years
of discouragement and tried all manner
of remedies without benefit. It is a
modern, a scientifio remedy, and faits
retire follows .),bounding health.
It is unlike all other remedies in
thet is is not designed to act on the
different organs affected, but by its
direct action on the nerve centres,
which are nature's little batteries, it
'causes an increased supply of nominee
energy to be generated, which in its
turn thoroughly oils, eta It were, the
machinery of the body, thereby en.
abling it to perform perfectly its dif.
ferent functions, and without the
slightest friction.
If you have been reading of the res
markable cures wrought by South
American Nervine, accounts of which
we publish from week to week, and
are still sceptical, we ask you to in.
vestigate them by eorrespondence,and
become convinced that they are ernes
to the letter. Such a course may save
you months, perhaps years, of suffer
ing and anxiety.
The words that follow are strong,
but they emanate e from the heart, and
speak the sentiments of thousands of
women in the United Statesand Can-
ada who know, through experience, at
the healing virtues of the South
American Nervine Tonic.
Harriet B. Hall, of Waynetown, a
prominent and muck respected lady,
writes as follows: --
"I owe my life to the great South
American Nervine Tonic, I have
been in bed for five months with a
scrofulous tumour in my right side,
and suffered with indigestion and
nervous prostration. Had given up
all hopes of getting well. Had tried
three doctors, with no relief, The
first bottle of Nervine Tonic Improved
me so much. that I was able to walk
about, and a few bottles cured me en.
tirely. I believe it is the best Medi.
eine in the world. I cannot recom-
mend it too highly."
