General Botha denies the report that

General Miller has sent the Beers a

this is impossible as his rolls do not

TO Rican tariff. the Boer war and the
Philippines.
The charge that the Puerto Rican
tariff bill was the result Of a deal for
raising the republican campaign fund
was again referred today by Pierce,
OF Tennessee. but Hull declared that
the anonymous author OF the charge
would never dare to avow himself and
he branded him as falsifer.

for the extension OF official sympathy
TO the Beers in their struggle for in
dependence. and Lentz OF Ohio deliv-

THE REPORT DENIED.
England Has Not Apol 1gi.el for 0pcp-
ing Macrum's Mail ana Has An
nounced No Such Intention.

LONDON, March 27.--The report
published in the United States that
Salisbury has apologized for the open
ing of American consular mail in South
Africa is untrue. Nothing whatever
has passed between the two govern
ments on this matter, and the British
premier has taken no action to in
vestigate the allegations of former
Consul Macrum alleged to have been
requested to do SO. A printed facsimile
OF the letter to Maorum alleged to
have been opened was given to Sails
bury by representative of the Asso-
ctated Press, but he made ne comment,
nor lid he direct that anything should
be done.

amendment is still pending.
The Alaskan civil bill was consid-
cred during the morning hour. An
amendment offered by Carter. setting
aside the permits hitherto granted by
the secretary Of war for the mining of
gold under the sea on the Alaskan
