CONSUL MAcRUM MUST STAY.
State Department Refuses Him Per-
mission to Return Home.

Washington, Nov, 22-United States
Consul Macrum at Pretoria has asked
the state department for leave of alb
sence with permission to take advant-
age of it at once. He pleads domestic
reasons for leaving his post, and offers
to place in the consulate as the repre-
sentative of the United States Vice
Consul Attlebury, who is now on the
ground. The department, however, re-
fused to accede to the request, and Mr..
M2crum will stay where he is unless
he sees fit to quit his post without per-
mission.
1t is learned that so far Mr.. Macrum
has not been prohibited by the Boer
government from caring for the vel
fare of the British subjects now in the
Transvaal and the Free State. or at
least he has not so notified the state
department. There has been some
friction encountered in the effort of the
British government to secure permits
sion for the United States consul to
disburse funds for the benefit of the
British soldiers held as prisoners of
war.

General Eagan yesterday sent TO the

statement I'm place OF that originally
made In response to General Miles
charges. The revised statement IS about
30 per cent shorter than that which
was ordered withdrawn because OF its
violent and abusive character In "A let
ter accompanying the statement Gen
eral Eagan declares he had never a
thought of disrespect to the commits
sion. and proceeds:
In explanation and In extenuation Of
the language used by me heretofore /
beg TO invite the attention Of the com
mission TO the fact that | have been ac-
cused practically OF feeding the soldiers
with poisoned beef which made them
sick-"embalmed beef" so-called-that
I have furnished meat TO the army
under the "pretense Of experiment" q"
which charge I'm effect is corruption and
worse. because Il jeopardizes the lives
of soldiers sent to the front In tropical
climates and who were dependent on
such food as was sent them; that these
statements have gone to the whole
country uncontradicted; that they have
been published and ] have been pill
loried In the press OF the country as a
man who had fed the army on poisoned
meat, and corruptly so; and that for
about three weeks time I have kept
silent for the reason that I was de-
barred, after talking with the secre-
tary Of war, from preparing charges be-
cause Of the immunity granted by the
president to witnesses before your COM
mission, Notwithstanding the gravity
of the accusations; that il is unreason-
able to believe that such monstrous
charges could have any other effect
than to work upon an honorable man i'm
such a way as to goad him TO a species
of desperation and that II was but
natural, when the proper opportunity
was given him to meet and refute the
charges, that he should characterize
them in harsh language"

ANOTHER COMMISSION.
To Investigate the Manners and Hab-
its of the FilipiuoS.

% investigate ille NluUnef- ana ttaD-
its of the Fiipinos.
Washington. Jan. 17.-President Nc
Kinley has decided to send a commits
sion of five persons to the Philippine
islands to study the manners and habits
of the Filipinos the material resources
of the country and it's commercial pos
sibilities. President J. G. Schurman. OF
Cornell university has accepted the
presidency of the commission, and it is
understood that the other members of
the commission will be Admiral Dewey
General Otis, Colonel Charles DENLY
and Professor Dean c. Worcester, ot
Ann Arbor university
The personnel of the commission Is
considered excellent from the stand
point of expert knowledge. Admiral
Dewey and General Otis have of course
become familiar with many of the
PRACTICAL sides of the Philippine
problem. Colonel DENLY was for many
years minister to China, and Is thor
oughly familiar with the people and
many of the problems of the orient
Professor Worcester has lived for years
in the Philippines, hunted with the
widest of the Mores and Sulus, at
tended their tribal rites and studied the
political economy of the islands al
close range.
The commission will not be subject
to the confirmation of the United States
senate, but will be named under the
reserved authority of the president
and its expenses will. be paid out of the
war appropriations. 1t is not expected
to commit the United States govern
ment to recognition of the independence
of the natives nor is tito frame scheme
Of government for the islands as was
the case with the Hawaiian commits
sion. Undoubtedly, however, the com.
missioners will unofficialy confer witt
the natives and advise with the mill
tary authorities, 1t being felt here thai
men of their experience and qualifica,
tions will be valuable counsellors in tht
conditions now existing 1t is believed
that the natives can be kept from hos
tilities until the arrival of the commits,
sion at Manila, and then II is hoped
that the hest results will follow the
visit, including the reinsurance of tn,
natives upon many points as to which
they are now doubtful.
