Consul General Stowe Visited til
PrisOners at Cape Town.

The Department of State is In receipt of
a dispatch from the consul general of the
United States at Cape Town, dated April
I. 1870. wherein he states that he has Wis
tied the Boer prisoners in camp and on
board the transport at Simons bay, at the
military prison at Cape Town and in camp
at Green Point. Mr.. Stowe visited General
Cronje. who at the time was on board the
flagship at Simons bay, occupying the ad-
mirafs quarters. General Cronje expressed
a wish to see Mr.. Stowe and declared him.
self well satisfied with his quarters and
treatment.
Mr.. Stowe remarks that he talked freely
with the other prisoners, and the universal
statement was that they were wei cared
for and were satisfied with their treat
ment. They were furnished by the British
authorities with clothes, hats and boots
had good sea bathing. the rations of
British soldier: but as they have SO MANY
friends and relations in the colony, which
the British prisoners at Pretoria lack they
become recipients Of many presents Of
what may be called Injuries in a prisoners
or soldiers life. Owing to the conditions
existing and the fact that st. Helena fur
nishes a climate more conducive to health
and more suitable quarters the military
authorities deemed it best to forward about
1,5OD prisoners to that island.

AMERICAN GOODS IN CHINA.
Consul General Wildman at Hong
Kong Answers Inquiries.

hOnG Answers Inquiries.
Consul General Wildman. at Hong Kong,
has transmitted an interesting report to
the State Department concerning the pos
sibilities of American goods in the Chinese
market. In answer to a great and growing
number of inquiries upon this subject from
American firms. The report mentions a
long list of articles of trade. and the chances
OF profitable market for each. Cotton
goods. cutlery and. hardware. lamps. soaps
and scents. sweets and candies. and pos
sibly bicycles. are said to offer favorable
opportunities in China. but on the whole
the market is not encouraging to Ameri-
cans, and to offset his list of articles which
offer good market, Consul Wildman sends
a list of goods. about which numerous In
quiries are made but for which there is
absolutely no prospect of a profitable intro
duction into the Chinese market.
II should also be borne in mind. says the
consul, that a large majority of goods that
might be fairly salable in China suffer
from the nature Of their construction, and
perish in the hot. damp climate: gummed
envelopes from America, for instance, ar
irving in China completely stuck together,
and almost entirely useless.
