MILES ADMIREs CRONJE.

Great valor Shown in Standing on Fifty
Thousand Picked Britislers.
NEW YORK, March 1.-The World
prints the following statement from
General Miles:
"Cronje's surrender was expected and
it was the only possible outcome after a
force Of 5000 had held out for week
against q trained force of $4,000. Cron.
je's action will strengthen the cause of
the Transvaal. You will observe that
Cronje at first had force of 5000 and
he surrendered with 5000. What be.
came of the other 5000? The effect of
the surrender shows the fighting valor
Of this handful Of Boers-on1y 5000
against an army of $4,000 English
picked soldiers. The effect Of Cronje's
surrender will be to strengthen rather
than to weaken the Boer power and
cause in this war;

attempt of the Inniskillngs Friday

when the infantry emerged from the

wounded. The advance line of the
British reached a donga in front Of the
first Boer trench, which was not ap.
parent until they were actually in it.
The Beers retired to the crest and then
returned on either flank of the Innis.
killings, enfilading the captured donga
with terrible cross fire. Finding it
impossible to advance or to hold the
position the British fell back and en-.
trenched themselves half way up the
hill. The Beers maintained heavy
fire. In the course of the night, the
Dublin fusileers and the Connaughts
arriving to support the Inniskillings,
another determined attempt was made
to take the Boer positions. This also
failed. A heavy fire continued through.
out the night. The Inniskillings lost ID
out of II officers killed and wounded
and about $50 non n-commissioned officers
and men killed and wounded.
