COUSIN, Consul General Stowe, the state
department. has been very much an.
noyed at the misconstruction that has
been placed upon his visit. 1t was to
prevent further nisundorstandings ON
that score that the department. posi-
tively declined Mr., Davis application
for leave Of absence for Mr.. Stowe, who
wished to accompany Mr.. Davis to Pre-
toria. tr
1t is possible that MIR. Davis will re.
ceive reminder from the interior do.
pnrtment that his course is embarrass.
ing to the government.
The state department has sent no in
kructions to Mr.. Macrum respecting
his attitude toward the newspapers since
his departure from Pretoria for the
United States. In fact, it is said the
department has no authority whatever
over Mr.. Macrum. who has passed out
OF the government service.
