. Paardebero Drift, Obahob Fbbb
Statb, Tuesday, Feb. JO. This was the
third day of General Cronje'e Imprison
ment and grim resistance. - .
- Early this morning the British Infan
try engaged the- Boers In tho bed of the
river, drlvlug them back a shert distance.
The morning sun disclosed the Boers
tolling " like ; ants on : intreaohnients
around their laager.' A few shells were
fired to prevent them from continuing
the' work, but "most of. Jthe. dayj was
qulew General French's artillery was
heard off to the east,, presumably enga
ging the Boers' reinforcements.
i Every opportunity r was ;; glven.the
Boers to- surrender, but' wben toward
afternoon there vu ne sign of any such
intention Lord Roberts determined to
crush once and for all General Oronje's
resistance, .J0n the south : bank of th
river at . a range of about 2,000 yards
;'iv 74-tnre9 .ts" ' two; naval 18
- tljkj. Jpnnnara were positioned. At the north
nana ana enniaaing tne wuoie river, one
howltser, three, field batteries and three
aval guns were placed. i
t.Then followed the; most wonderful
scene It was ever your -oorrepondent's
lot to witness. Once before, In Thessaly,
I had seen 110 guns In action, but never
such a number of powerful guns con
centrallng their fire upon a spot about a
mile square. v':j ''- '-:: '-i.:-j ';; Vv;-
' The exploding lyddite sheila raised
great clouds of green smote, filling the
bed of the river., Shrapnel burst on the
edge of , each, bank eicept for a short
space where the proximity of the British
Infantry made : it dangerous. Shells
searched every bush and every ravine of
the riverbed. The enfilading guns most
baye done terrible execution. , -The
roar was deafening, yetwTth
spitit of desperate madness now and
again the Boer marksmen would attempt
to pick off the naval gunners' who were
firing at a range of 1,000 yards. The
long line of batteries belched forth death
while on each aide lay two battalions of
Infantry, whose Maxim gnns sounded
petty beside the roaring big guns.
There Is something traglo in the stern
resistance whlchorsueral Croje Is offer
ing. It is Impossible not to admire bis
pluck, but all the British condemn the
sserlficlng of the Ufes ot his brave fol
lowers, v v;
The Lion of Africa," as hla -eulogists
have termed Gen. Flet A. Cronje, hat
Justified the designation by his grim life
and death struggle at Paarduberg drift.
General Cronls lives on a farm near
PotchefBtroom, a town just beyond the
Vaal river, about 60 miles soutnwest of
Johannesburg. He has been a soldier
from bis youth, lie began bis military
career In the ranks and his worked his
way up to the second place In tbe Biwr
army solely by his merits at a fighter
and tactician. He was already a fl-M
cOrui t at Lalng's aok, In IH'il, and wai
second In command to Joulicrt In tbe
notable afTnlr of Mnjuba H nil.
As tlmo paBwl, CrMijq rose In rank,
and wlu'iv ttie Jnim-aon raid warred, In
the cli. tug (l-.t-i (,( )n) v. n , !
Ill the i ;n,n . : ,"f j. . ,,f ,-. . . ,- ' i
of the Boer force which was sent to head
It off, This he did effectually. Cronje
rounded lip Dr.' Jameson and his follow
ers In the little Tillage of Dornkop . Ee
had no artillery, but his whole force was
armed with -rifles, and was made op of
first class - marksmen. By their com. :
manders's orders the Boers picked off
the British artillerists, rendering their
guns useless, and bringing -the raid to a
premature close. -,.. "
As a reward for his management of
the Jameson affair Cronje was appointed
to succeed General Joubert as Superin
tendent of Native - Affairs and he now
holds that civil position under thsTratu-1
vaal Government. 1 t" "
Boon after the declaration of war, -In
October last, he wag made second in com
mand of the united forces of the two
Boer republics and was assigned to the
district on .the western border of the
Transvaal and Orange Free Statei It was
by the forces under his command that
the British garrisons in Mafeking and
Elmberley were shut in. ' ., ;J .
, When General Methueo started to the
relief of Elmberley in November he en
copntered Cronje'e force at Gras Pan on
the 25th of that month. ' The -resulting
encounter was practically a drawn battle
Three days later there was another and
more desperate encounter on the Modder
riven This encounter brought Methueu's
advance to a halt, and two weeks later
en December 13 Cronje defeated, Lord
Methuen in the decisive battle of Magers
fonteln, in which the Highland Brigade
was: slaughtered and Its commander,
General Wauchope, killed. .'.:-:
