Although He Did Protest Against
Delay Nothing in Alliance
81 >. Talk. 7,

WAoh1NdIoN, FeD. 22.-Ihe answer
or the state department to the, house
resolution committee calling for infor-
nation regarding certain charges nlade
by late Consul Maclum has been trans.
mitted to the house by the president,
1t is signed by Secretary Hay, and after
reciting the resolution says:
Answering the first part Of the reso-
luton: The department. of state has
been in regular communication by mail
and telegraph with Charles E. Macru1n,
late consul Of the United States at Pre-
toria, South African republic, since his
entrance upon the duties of the office.
Communications made to him have been
answered and the execution of instruc-
tons sent has been reported by him
His dispatches to the department., for
warded through the consulate at Iour-
EMO Marques, have during the time
been regularly received. The only in
stance of complaint in respect to tie
transit of the mails for Lourenzo Mar
ques and Pretoria was in November
last when a temporary stoppage of the
mails occurred at Cape Town, against
which Macrum and the consul at Lour-
EMO Marques protested. Arrangements
were made for the prompt delivery of
the consular mails to the United States
consul general at Cape Town, by whom
the mail for Mr.. Hollis and Mr.. Macrum
was forwarded to Lourenzo Marques.
The delay lasted but a few days, and
has not REQUIRED so far as the depart
lnent is advised. After that time the
departments mail for Lourenzo Mar
ones and Pretoria was sent by a neutral
route which it appears was known and
open to Mr.. Macrum and Mr.. Hollis as
early as Nov. Is last No obstacle,
therefore, is known to have existed
since then to Mr.. Macrum's unhamp-
cred correspondence with the depart
ment Of state
Reported No Violation.
''At no time while at his post did Mr..
Macrum report to the department. any
instance Of violation by opening or
otherwise Of his official mail by the Brit
ish censor at Durham Or by any person
Or persons whatsoever, there or else
where. Neither has he SO reported
since he left Pretoria, although having
the amplest opportunity to do so by
mail while on the way home and in
person when he reported to the depart
nent upon his return.
Answering the second part Of the
aforesaid resolution. the undersigned,
secretary OF state, has the honor to say
that there is no truth in the charge that
a secret alliance exists between the re-
public of the United States and the en-
pire Of Great Britain; that no form of
secret alliance is possible under the Con-
stitution Of the United States inasmuch
as treaties require the advice and con-
sent Of the senate; and finally that no
secret alliance, convention, arrange
(ment, Or understanding exists between
the United States and any other ma
