Tho inagnltudo of tho success of "Littlo'Boba" Is almost overlooked In the fact that It synchronizes with tho anni versary of Majubn Hill and has wiped out tho dishonor of 10 years standing. Further details of the dramatic surren der of Cronjo at Faardeborg nro eagerly awaited. Speculation is rlfo as to how soon Iloborta will bo ablo to press on to Bloemfontein, but beforo ho enters tho capitol of tho Free State, ho will u doubtedly have to overcomo a powerful forco nnd tako strong entrenchments.
