.MACRUM HAS PROOF.
Will BE Used to Prevent
His Disclosing 1t, However.

derstand why Secretary Hay worked so
hard to dlscredlt Macrum after he had
embarked at Delagoa bay by giving
out the charge that the young man
had deserted his post in a great crisis.
Tha. story was untrue. for Secretary
Hay admits that the dispatch published
by Macrum telling him he could come
home was authentic. The same SEN
ators are asking why, when Macrnn
returned. Hay refused to receive him.
even after Macrum had indicated that
he had an important Communication
to make.
President Mckinley supposed Ma
crum had deserted his post and re-
fused to see him. Persons who have
seen the evidence Of British dupllelty
which Macrum brought home for the
information OF Hay declare he has
ample ammunition with which to con-
found his enemies. Nacrum was I'M
der the espionage Of British officials
and detectives during the whole OF
his voyage from Lourenzo Marquee to
tho European port where he landed.
Repeated efforts to plunder his bag
gage we're made by these spies, and he
was finally compelled to place his
trunks in the captains cabin, where
they were guarded night and day by
sailors detailed for this duty. The ship
was a German ship, and her captain
was So incensed at the conduct Of his
British passengers that he refused TO
ly the British flag when he sailed into
the port OF Alden. 1t was apparent
from all this that the British author
tiles aimed to destroy damaging evil
dence. II they could have secured the
letters with the censor's stamp Ma
crum would have been discredited in
Washington.
