An investigation Exonerates the Co.

WASHINGTON, September 25.-The
State Department has examined the

MAY LAND CHINESE.
General Otis May Allow ship-Lond
10 Come Ashore.


WASHINGTON, September 23.-The
landing of the ship-load of Chinese now
at Manila will depend upon military ex-
pediency which will be determined by
General Otis. If I'm his judgment the land
ing of the 700 Chinese will not interfere
with the military condition or disturb the
situation. they will land.
The conditions in the Philippines, 1t IS
pointed out. are such as TO make the en-
try of Chinese labOrers disturbing ele-
ment. The Fiipinos are opposed TO them,
and there is a bitter feeling existing
against the Chinese now there. 1t Is be-
lieved here that If the United States MILL
tarv authorities allow the Chinese free
access to the Philippines. it will exasper-
ate the people and tend 10 retard the
notification Of the islands. This is one OF
tho reasons given why ii Is necessary
from military standpoint TO keep them
out
This much. however. is understood, that
the military necessity of the case VIII
determine what shall be done While
the islands are under a military govern
ment. and the subject will be handled
from that standpoint, rather than with
reference to the fact that the Chinese ex-
clusion law is in force in the United
States.

sure that the grave is Of some one
of importance. Ii the wall is Of
hewn stone, well joined, he knows
it must be of a great chief or
cacique. By the hardness and COM
pactness of the soil be knows wheth-
en- the grave il very ancient or COM
paratively modern. BY the kind OF
utensils found lie can tell whether
the grave is that Of man or
woman. He can also tell whether
the grave has been previously rob-
bed and whether by Indians OF
Spaniards. This he determines by
indications that would appeal very
forcibly TO Sherlock Holmes. The
ancient Indians were extremely
careful in filling the grave to place
the different earths, generally black,
blush gray, and brown, in the e1-
act order in which they occurred
If the grave was subsequently rob
bed by Indians, the homes and pot
terry would BE carefully replaced,
but the same care would net be e1-
ercised in replacing the earth. If
the grave was robbed by spaniards
the grave would be hurriedly filed
with bones, broken pottery, and
earth indiscriminately.
When it becomes evident to the
guaquero that he is nearing the bot
tom, the earth is removed il thin
slices and every piece is carefully
examined. When the bones are un-
covered, the Place about the head Is
searched for earrings and nose rings.
The pottery is broken and washed
for goll fshhooks or rings, but it is
under the body that the largest
quantity of gold is generally found.
If the amount found is satisfactory,
the guaquero fills up the grave, all
the time praising and fattering the
memory Of the dead, his ancestors
and heirs; but if the grave is empty,
the dead man is cursed and his
bones are left to fall to pieces.
The greatest find of this kind re-
corded by history was that of Don
Pedro de Heredia, who left Carriage
ma for Ell Dorado in 1884. The party
came across an Indian town called
Zenli. and from large graveyard
or pueblo near it they obtained SO
much gold that Don Pedro divided

deducting the royal fifth and fair
share for himself. New York Sun.
