CENsoR's ACTION DIsAvowED.

Washington, March 27.-It is said al the
State Department regarding the story that
Great Britain has apolOgized to this Government
for the action Of the censor in opening letters
addressed TO the United States Consul at Pre-
toria, that the United States Government has
made no demand On the British Government for
an apology. as the officials say that Mr. Macrun,
who was Consul at Pretoria when the mail is
said to have been opened, made no official
plants on that subject. and thus the State De-
partment had nothing official before IL TO serve
a basis fer demand for an apology. AS
stated before, however. the British Government
itself voluntarily took notice of Mr.. Macrums
complaint and. finding that, incident TO
the transfer OF a large quantity Of mail from
Durham. where American Consular mail was
usually landed. TO Cape Town. resulting in great
congestion and the handling OF mail by
agents. there had been indiscrmnate open
ing Of letters. which probably had affected the
consular mail with others. Lord PauncefOte,
speaking fer his Government disavowed the
tion Of the censor and declared that IL was
authorized in respect to Mr.. Macrur's mail. This
assurance was given long ago. and some Of the
members of the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs were made acquainted with II at the
