Washington, March 2S.-Charles E.
Macrum. American ex-consul to Pre-
toria, appeared before the house for
eign affairs committee today and told
Of the alleged indignities he suffered at
the hands of the British during his in
cumbency. He explained that When he
asked for leave of absence he desired to
come home for private business rea-
sons and also because he desired to
place before the United States govern
ment certain facts which he deemed
essential should be known here. He
understood, he said, that the British
had possession of our cable cipher. He
was not certain of this, but he had
since had information which convinced
him that his suspicious were correct.
He also desired Information as to his
course when a settlement came at the
end of the war. Further he had a pc
tition from some American residentstn
the Transvaal asking that the United
States maintain absolute neutrality,
Which he wanted to present to the state
department.. The petition he read TO
the committee. 1t was signed by Cor
don. consular agent at Johannesburg.
Pressed for specific information as to
how he got intimation that the British
We're opening and delaying his mail, he
replied that when the mail did not ar
lrive he telegra phed our consul at Lou
renzo Marquee, requesting him TO IN
quire of Cape Town why 1t was being
/ delayed. Consul at Lourenzo Marquee
/ replied that he also had received no
/ mail. Macruin said the delay of his
mail created a. conviction in his mind
4 that the British authorities were re-
/ sponsible. The first actual evidence he
had was the receipt OF TWO opened let
ters. He produced The envelopes which
he said contained sinose letters Ma
lerun, also claimed the British authori-
