UNCLE SAM NOTIFIED.
THAT WAR EXISTS IN SOUTH
AFRICA.

(By Telegraph 20 -Pilot.) I,
Washington, D. c., Oct. 13-The State
Department was to-day notified of the
withdrawal from Pretoria of Mr.. Con-
yngham Greene, the British diplomatic
agent to the South African Republic.
and the existence of a state OF war he
tween Great Britain and that republic.
Mr.. Macrum, the American consul at
Pretoria, has accordingly been instruct
ed TO undertake the care OF the British
interests in that section 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. The details of the trans
fer OF the British interests in case of
war had been previously arranged, so
that ala that was necessary was the
dispatch of a brief cablesram 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 Transvaal but in the
Orange Free State, and he has been in
structed to give these officials the nnc-
cssary directions.
The only Consular official. beside Mr..
MaSluHl III me south African Rcpub-
Tic is Mr.. Gordon, who succeeded Mr..
Manion as Consular Agent at Jo-
hannesburs, Mn. Manion having re-
signed few months ago.
III the Orange Free State the United
States is represented by Alfred FL
lott, Consular Agent at Bloemfontein.
He is an EngEshman. and therefore 1t
is questionable whether or not he will
remain at his post in his capacity as
American Agent. II he retires, Mr..
Macrum will probably select some
American TO take up the duties OF
Consular Agent.
There Is no present intention at the
State Department to issue a proclama-
ton of neutrality. It has come to be
the custom to omit these proclama-
ing for their issue, and such an ener-
gency is moi. respected to arise In South
Africa.
