AS MILES SEES IT,
Cronje's Surrender Important only as
Illustrating the Valor Of the Beers.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-The World
publishes the following statement by
General Miles;
"Cronjes surrender was expected and
It was ali that could be expected when
force OF three thousand holds out for
over q week against force of fifty
thousand.
You will observe that the first re-
ports said that General Cronie had a
force of nine thousand opposed to the
British, but only three thousand sur
rendered. What became Of the other
six thousand? the Importance OF the
surrender under such circumstances
only illustrates the lighting valor Of
this handful of Boer patriots.
''The effect of Cronie's surrender will
be to strengthen rather than TO weaken
the Boer patriots ,ause in this war
we cannot help nut admire those
Beers, no matter where our sympathies
may be- In my position it would not
be diplomatic for me to say too much,
but whoever is in the right, we must
admire the three thousand patriots who
stood off for ten lays over fifty thous-

PETERS HILL CARRIED.
Describes the Assault on Tuesday
and Praises the Gallantry OF
His Troops.

LONDON. Feb. 2S.-The war Office
has received the following dispatch
from General Butler:
"Headwaters Landwanik, February
2s. 8 a. m.-Flnding that the passage OF
hLangewatches Spruit was commanded
By strong intrenchments, | reconnoi-
tered for another passage on the Tu-
gela. one was found for me below
the cataract by Colonel Sandbach.
Royal engineers, on February 25th. We
commenced making an approach there
TO and on February 26. finding l could
make the passage practicable, crossed
the guns and baggage back to the
south side Of the Tugela, took up the
pontoon bridge on Monday night and
relaid II at the new site, which is
Just below the present marked catar-
act
During all this time the troops had
been scattered crouching under hastily
constructed small stone shelters and
exposed TO CALLING shell and rifle fire.
Throughout they maintained the most
excellent spirits. Tuesday General
Barton, with two battalions of the
Sixth brigade and the Dublin Fusiliers,
crept about mile and half down the
banks of the river and ascended an al
most perpendicular oliff of about 500
feet. assaulted and carried the top Of
Peters Hin.
This hill to n certain extent turned
the enemy's left and the Fourth brig
ade, under Colonel Norcott, and the
Eleventh brigade, under Colonel Kitch-
ener, the whole under command Of
General Warren, assaulted the cnemy's
position, which was magnincently car
ried by the South Lancashire regiment
about sunset We took about sixty
prisoners and scattered the enemy in
all directions. There seems to be 'till
a considerable body of them left on and
under Bulwano mountain.
