Since General Louis BOtha intends
visiting the United States soon rath-
or amusing interview which the Lon
don Chronicle correspondent mad with
him at Maritzburg is worth reading, as
il gives Boer view of the not very
redoubtable British prOwess in the
field. says the London correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press.
The correspondent describes Botha
as follows: Louis Botha is big man,
full six feet high and stOutly built.
His shoulders in particular are i'm
mense, and his huge brick red hands
are carried clumsily swinging. lie
wears q dropping brown mustache;
small, pointed beard, that does not
conceal a firm, round chin, and short
hair. His face is full and pleasant;
light blue eyes twinkle below heavy
brows The small beautifully carved
nose that often accompanies Huguehot
descent Is his best feature. lie was
magnificently brOnzed and looked like
a very fit south of England farmer
rather than fighting general. win
him were Jan De Wet, younger broth
er of Christian of that ilk, and his own
brother COmmandant Christian Botha,
whom all South Africa knows as Chris
Jan DE Wet would insist on inter
preting, for Louis Botha has but little
English and. | suspect, is apt to tell
the truth without discrimination to all
who approach him in the Taal, where
as the urbane Jan is a barrister of the
inner temple and has even dipped into
journalism. So | had to speak Eng
lish. but my notes were of Louis Bo-
tha's answers and not of Jams render
ings.
There is every prospect of lasting
peace" said the general, "if people will
sink their individual feelings and work
together for the good Of the country.
It's time South Africa had chance"
Now, about the war. How did the
Beers look upon blOckhOuses?'
Jan De Wet laughed as he put the
question, and Louis BOtha smiled
broadly.
IL think" said the latter, chuckling.
'they were useful in finding employ
lAein TOT men WHO were nOL W po
trusted with horses"
This was a facer, and l showed my
astOnishment plainly.
'"rhe block house lines never stopped
me from going where wanted to 60,
added the general, land they never
stopped De Wet"
"De Wet broke the fences with cat
tie, did he n0t?' | asked.
Jan De Wet replied this time. HE
says he never did So" he said, 'and l
can't see how it would be possible.
Cattle won't run in mass unless
there are men leading them. You
can't drive them like horses" He
translated this to Louis BOtha, who
nodded in agreement.
Did your experience lead you to re-
gard any particular arm of the British
service as specially efficient and dis
agreeable% was my next question.
THAT is too wide a question" re-
piled the general. II got on pretty
well with all of them"

burghers is an intelligence officer born,

one of them to do the work they all

"Do you intend to visit England?'

What is the object of the tour?

Tension Between United States ani

Washington, Aug. 20.-It is admit
ted at the state department that there
is a renewal of tension between the

close the present condition of affairs
They say, however, that the condition
Us in no way grave, but is of thai
strained character which has occurred
from time to time with Turkey in re-
cent years. II is gathered that the
present tension grows out of the long
pending claims of Americans who suf-
fered loss during the Armenian out

duction gave added cause for irrita-
ton. The American minister. Mr..
Leishman, has been given wide lati-

fullest confidence on the part of the
