HORIZONS OF WAR.
Scenes of Desolation and Ruin In the
Transvaal.


Transvaal
Washington Especially An interest
ing picture of the Transvaal and Free
State in August, after the wave of war
had passed over the country, is pre-
sented in a report to the State Depart
ment from United States ConsulGen-
eral Stowe, at Cape Town, dated Aug.
II last. He had just returned to the
Cape from a trip through the two re-
publics. He says that for hundreds of
miles all the wire fencing is down and
cannot be used again. The posts have
been burned for fuel and must be re-
placed with iron posts, owing to the
scarcity of timber.
The plowing in progress is limited
compared with former years, and there
will be a large market for American
cereals. By March, 1901, agricultural
machinery will be wanted. Meat and
live stock will continue to be import
ed. Johannesburg had only three days
supply of meat when Mr.. Stowe left
the town. While the Beers who have
returned are anxious to get to work,
several months must elapse before
things settle down to a normal basis.
The government is building a new line
of railway from Harrismith to connect
with the Orange Colony system, so
that the Netherlands Railway, with it's
200 per cent. dividend, will no longer
have monopoly in the Transvaal.
There will be a big demand for ma
terial and electrical machinery and
supplies.
Lord Roberts has appointed an ad-
visory committee to assist him in the
reopening of johannesburg and secure
the return of the mining population,
upon which the prosperity of the town
depends. 1t is questionable whether
the undesirable element common to all
mining towns will be allowed to return
to Johannesburg.
