NEWSPAPERS STORY.
Salisbury Has Not ApOIogized for the
Opening by a Censor of Ex-COn-
sui Macrum's Mail.

NEW YORK, March IA special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washington
says: Lord Salisbury has apologized to
the United States for the opening by the
British censor at Durham, of mail addressed
to ex-Consul Charles Z. Macrum, at Pre-
toria. The apology will be sent to the
House committee on foreign affairs by
Secretary of State Hay when Mr.. Mac
runs case against the State Department
is heard
WASHINGTON, March 27.-It is said at
the State Department that the United
States government has made no demand
upon the British government for an
apology, as the officials say that Mr.. Mac
rum, who was consul at Pretoria when the
mail is said to have been opened, made no
official complaints on that subjects and
thus the State Department had nothing
official before ii to serve as a basis for a
demand for an apology. AS stated before,
however, the British government, itself.
voluntarily took notice of Mr.. Macrum' S
complaint, and finding that as incident
TO the transfer of a large quantity of mail
from Durham, which was the place where
our consular mail was usually landed, to
Cape Town, resulting in great congestion
and the handling of mail by new agents,
there had been an indiscriminate opening
of letters, which probably had affected the
consular mail with others. Lord Paunce-
fote, speaking for his government, dis
avowed the action of the censor and de-
clared that ii was unauthorized in respect
to Mr. Macrum's mail. This assurance
was given long ago and some of the men,
bers of the House committee on foreign
affairs were made acquainted with it at the
time.
LONDON, March 27.-The report, pub
lished in the United States, that Lord
Salisbury has apolOgiZed for the opening
of American consular mail i'm South Africa
is untrue. Nothing whatever has passed
between the two governments on this mat
ter. and the British premier has taken no
action to investigate the allegations of
Charles T.. Macrum, former consul of the
United States at Pretoria, nor has he been
required to do so. A printed facsimile of
a letter to Mr. Macrum, alleged to have
been opened, was given to Lord Salisbury
by representative of the Associated
Press, but he made no comment nor did
he direct that anything be done.
