TO SHIP HORSES FOR
SOUTH AFRICAN FARMS
British to Reopen Their Depot at New
Orleans and the Cha1-
mette Station.

NEW ORLEANS. July ia cable
gram from England announces that the
British will reopen their horse and mule
depot at New Orleans for the purpose OF
restocking the Transvaal farms. Yes
terday. when the stables located at
ChaImette by the British were about to
be destroyed, a cablegram was received
asking that this be not zone.
". J. Hammond, the steamship agent
who went to England to try and
secure the renewal Of the South Afri-
can horse trade. cab1ed that he and
Captain Marsham, wif9 had charge Of the
business, were en- route to New Orleans
to reopen them.
The horse and mule stable was closed
just before the declaration Of peace with
South Africa, and It was thought TO be
due TO the report of Governor Heard
that the British mule camp was a for
eign military station on American soil
II was understood that the mules and
horses would be handled through Can
ada.
The return Of Captain Marsham would
indicate that the British find New Or
leans the better port. It is generally
estimated that It will take slightly more
than a year 10 ship to South Africa the
mules and horses needed to restock the
Boer farms.
