Consul Stowe Talks.
London, Aug. 27.-American Consul
Stowe, who has arrived here from Cape
Town, said in an interview:
II find myself marooned in London. APP
parently every berth on steamers bound for
America is taken till the end of September,
and I am anxious to get home, where I can
do away with official cares and talk as a
private citizen. You know more in London
about the military occupation of South At
RIGA than it Is possible for anyone to know
at Cape Town.
While I have resigned from the consular
service. my resignation does not take effect
till I reach Washington, hence 1t is impos-
sible for me to say anything. You can
learn much more from returning officers
than 1t is possible to learn from anyone
else coming from the Cape.
"The South African problem is undoubt-
eddy difficult and complicated. The topog-
raphy Of the country and the mobility of
the Beers whom the English columns are
unable to pursue individually, render OPP
e%rations most difficult. The British are
feeding many prisoners and providing for
thousands of Boer families, all Of which
is very nice on the part Of England. But,
in the meanwhile, the war drags on. There
is a great future for South Africa when
peace is secured. The surface of her min
eral wealth is scarcely scratched. I'm
doubtedly England is prepared to solve the
problem of reunifcation; but when that
will occur certainly no person at the Cape
is able to say"
