Mr Slocum, miKtaTy 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 advanc« after Ladysmith was inexplicable. If the Delagoa railway had been cut Kruger would have been compelled to surrender. The British were too merciful. The professions of surrender after the fall of Bloemfontein undoubtedly deceived Lord Roberts.
