NOTIFIED THAT WAR is ON.
Great Britain Has SO Informed the
United states.


United states.
Washington, oct 13.-The state DEPART
ment was to-day notified of the withdraw
al from Pretoria of Mr.. Conyngham
Greene. the British diplomatic agent to
the South African republic, and the exist
ence Of state of war between Great Brl-
tain, and that republic. Mr.. Macrum. the
American consul at Pretoria, has accord
ingiy been instructed to undertake the
care of the British interests in that sec
ton during the war.
The notification came to the state de-
partment in the shape of a note from Mr..
Tower, the charge Of the British embassy
here. Details of the transfer of the Brit
ish interests in case of war had been pre-
viously arranged, so that all that was
necessary was the dispatch of brief ca
blegram to Mr. Macrum at Pretoria. This
officer is the superior In rank to the other
consular representatives of the United
States, not only in the Tansvaal, but in
the Orange Free state, and he has been
instructed to give these officials the nee
essary directions. The only consular Off
ella! beside Mr.. Macrum in the South Afri-
can republic is a MIR. Gordon, who sue
ceeded Mr.. Manion as consular agent at
Johannesburg, Mr.. Manion having resign
ed a few months ago.
In the Orange Free State the United
States is represented by Alfred Elliott
consular agent al Bloemfontein. He is
an Englishman, and therefore it is ques-
tionabe whether or not he will remain at
his post in his capacity as American agent
If he Tetires, Mr.. Macrum will probably
select some American to take up the du>
ties of consular agent.
There is no present intention at the state
department to issue a proclamation Of neu-
fru1 hoe To Iln f1,x, a.
omit these proclamations until some emer-
gency arises calling for their issue, and
such an emergency is not expected to arise
in South Africa
