WINGED him of the admiration OF his coun-
trymen for his gallant defense of Lady

nefghborhood of the docks. The build
ings in the vicinity were gayly decorated
with bunting In honor OF the occasion
and all the public institutions were COW
cred with flags. The harbor presented
a brilliant and animated scene. the vari-
Gus vessels having dressed ship, and the
Dunvegan Castles berth at the wharf
was Respondent with bunting and ever
green's.

bers of the corporation. uniformed SOL

of breaking the chains of this slav-

These digest the food you have eaten.
They don't need aid from the stomach,
which il therefore given time to rest

Report That Salisbury Had Apol.
ogized For the Macrum
Incident
IS Denied FROM London---For1nal
Apology Also Denied at
Washington,
But Admitted Pauncefote Had
DisavOwed Intentional "
Censorship.

LONDON, March 2s.-6:l7p. m.-The
report, published in the United States.
that Lord Salisbury has apologized for
the opening Of American consular mail
in South Africa is untrue. Nothing
whatever has passed between the two
governments on this matter, and the
British premier has taken no action to
investigate the allegations Of Charles E.
Macrum, former consul of the United
States at Pretoria, nor has he been re-
quested to do so. A printed fac simile
OF letter to Mr.. Macrum. alleged to
have been opened, was given to Lord
Salisbury by a representative of the
Associated Press, but he made no COM
ment, nor cid he direct that anything
be done.
WASHINGTON, March est is said at
the state department, regarding the
story that Great Britain has apologized
to this government for the action of the
censor III opening letters addressed tc
the United States consul at Pretoria.
that the United States has made no de.
mand upon the British government for
an apology. as the officials say that Mr..
Macrum. who was consul at Pretoria
when the mail is said to have been
opened, made no official complaints on
that subject, and thus the state depart.
ment had nothing official before il tc
serve as n basis for demand for an
apology.
AS stated before, however. the British
government voluntarily took notice of
Mr.. MacIum's complaint. and finding
that, as an incident to the transfer of a
large quantity Of mail from Durham
(which was the place where our con-
sular mail was usually landed) to Cape
Town, resulting i'll great congestion
and the handling of mail by new agents
there had been an indiscriminate open
ing Of letters which probably had affect
ed the consular mail with others. Lore
Pauncefote. speaking for his govern
ment, disavowed the action Of the cen
sor, and declared that it was unauthor
lied in respect to Mr.. Macrum's mail
His assurance was given long ago, and
some Of the members Of the house com
mittee Of foreign affairs were made &C
uuainted with it at the time.
