It is Probably True That British f Authorities Opened His Letters. ' Wimhlrnrtnn'Feb. 20. The answer of the secretary of state to the resolution of the house of representatives calling on him for information as to the charge of ex-Consul . Macrum that his official mail was opened by the British military censor at Durban, rsatai, has been prepared ana will be transmitted to the house through President McKlniey, probably tomorrow. The department officials decline to say whether or not the British government was asked if the charge was true, but it is believed that the matter was brought to the attention of Ambassador Paunce- fote. : 'M' ' Accordinsr to what the officials indi cate, no information to verify Macrum's allegation has been obtained by the department. It will probably not be shown by the secretary's report that Macrum officially called the attention of the department to the action of British officers in opening nis mail, out tne general 'opinion is front the evidence in hand, that the charges on his part are sustained. ' . . i : ' a t. i - ThA ATnnanl. since his return to Wash ington yesterday, has. expressed the keenest desire for an examination of his charges and does not seem to fear that official Inquiry will, operate to bis disad vantage in the eyes of the state depart ment or the country. ; ...

Since the above answer was prepared it has been given out at the state depart ment that inquiries setafootimmediately after the publication of. Macrum's first statement, developed the fact that the British government had no knowledge oi anyinterferenee with the correspondence of the United States Consulate at Pre toria, and the additional fact that if any interference had taken place itjwa con trary to instructions, French's Entry Into Klmberley.
