CRONJE'S WRONG MOVE.

Genera schoAsld Says Retreat Was
Made in the Wrong DirsctiOn-The
Beers should have Fallen Back on
Boedel, Instead Of Making for
Bloemfontsin.
NEW YORK, March 1.-Lieutenant
General John NJ. schofeld Cretited). in
a dispatch to the World from st. Aug
ustlne, Fla, says:
''The Beers appear to have commit
ted their first serious mistake in the
retreat from Kimberley by attempting
to cross Immediately in front OF the
British forces to reach Bloemfonteln.
Their line Of retreat should have been
by way OF Boshof, which line they
should have made sure to keep opan
and hence to Brnndfort or Wlnesburg'
thus making certaia their junction with
troops coming from the noEthand east
toward Bloemfonteln.
"If for political reasons It was
thought necessary to defend the capital
of the Free State that place should
have been held by other troops until
cron1e could reach it by the circuitous
route above referred to. But BIoem-
fonteIn is strategically a very weak
point. II the Beers decide to hold 1t
Lord Roberts will have only to invest
that place with sufficient force and
will still have ample force to prosecute
his campaign toward Pretoria.
"As far as can be seen from the Of
fetal maps the country about Vines
burg and KroonstRdt affords the hrsI
favorable positions for Boer resistance
to the British advances on the Free
State lines.
do better than to prolong their resist
ance about Ladysmlth as long as this
can be done without compromising
their retreat. They are thus holding IN
check the large army under General
Butler. But on both lines the Beers
should not allow their retreat 70 be cut
off, So long as they are free to- move
they can meet at any place and ohef
very stubborn and prolonged resistance
to the advance OF the superior British
forces.
Having the shorter interior line Of
communication between their two coll
umns, the Beers can quickly send re-
inforcements from one to the other as
emergency may require. Thus they may
hope to make more and more effec.
tive resistance as their two lines OF
operations approach a junction toward
johannesburg.
$50 far as can now be foreseen the
Beers. after many hard fought battles!
should be able to make tinal and
prolonged struggle for victory on the
line of the Ynal river"

Will have the effect of relieving this re-

have 200 cars OF this kind of coal which
they have been unable to have forward

as consequence some of the mines are
only working two-thlrds time. The for
