AN AMERICAN VIEW OF THE WAR.
-BRITISH METHODS TOO
MERCIFUL.
WASHINGTON, June 22.
Mr Sloeum, a military attache with the British, reports that if the English had displayed less bravery there would have been many less faults and more victories. The slowness of General Buller's advance after the relief of Ladysmith was inexplicable. If the Delagoa railway had been cut Kruger wooild have been compelled to surrender. The British were too merciful. The professions of surrender after the iall of Bloemfontein undoubtedly deceived Lord Roberts.
