in the interior OF Africa, declares that
he found one there. 1t II called

prey OF demons. He found IL a most
winsome country, full Of luxurlant
vegetation and picturesque streams.
The first omen OF danger perceived by
Captain Welbey was the sudden mad
ness Of one OF his men. This unfortu-
nate rushed into camp a raving maniac.
Other cases Of an equally terrible and
dangerous sort soon followed. The
Africans who formed Captain Welbey's
escort assured him that devils took

Walamo inhabitants while they ate,
He himself sceptlcally regarding these
amazing statements partook OF a meal

him all the while, he declares, with
great fixity. Af,erwsrd, TO his own
establishment, he began to feel exceed

that he went mad, and as numerous
explorations were subsequently made

DEWEY'S STATEMENT ON
THE HOUSE INCIDENT.
Admiral Deeply oreved at the Criticism that Has Been
Heaped Upon Hlm-Uphods His Course.

dangerous ground, with death and even
worse in front OF me, little thought
that In such a brief period Of time after

lean people would countenance such a
monstrous attack upon me because l
was doing what | considered to be the
most gracious thing could do-present
my home to my bride.
II do not intend TO arralgn the en-
tire American people for the acts Of a
few. But am hurt am cut
to the quick. never have felt
so badly in all my life, want the
American people TO know IT, | want
them TO know that II | could / would

never In the world have accepted II II
| had known what It would cost me.
II should feel tomorrow as feel to-
night / would cut it ALL throw up
everything, go on the retired list and
go abroad, In fact, l feel so dis
couraged so worn out tonight that /
scarcely know what l will do / hard
ly feel like living In a country where

manner without being defended by any
one
THE American people are not

fleet and to sail into Manila harbor

a sailor should, and II they want me
now or al some future time to command
another fleet, my life and my sword
are always at the disposal Of my coun-
try.

that the people who contributed the
money to buy II gave 1t to me with

deal to the American people, and per-
hsps the American people owe some

can people don't own me and | am sim

1T never occurred TO me that any one

Tense II ! do not take the public into
my confidence or consult with them In

1T pains me very deeply TO feel that
I am compelled to lay open the secrets

insults which have received at the
hands Of writer's Of letters which have
been published today feel justified In
somewhat oversteppng the bounds Of
propriety and saying that Mrs. Dewey
understood better than | did the feel
lngs Of the people and at first declined
to permit the house to be transferred to
her. She did consent only after an ar
rangement had been effected whereby
not only the house, which wac the gift

her entire personal fortune. which, as
you are aware. IL considerable, was
ultimately to go 90 my son George.
Thus he had absolutely nothing to lose
by my conveying my house 20 my wife,
but. on the contrary, was a great gamer
thereby.
The relations between my son and
myself have been always the most
kindly, and between Mrs, Dewey and
my son the most pleasant. This agita-
ton has hurt my son even more than
It has me.

house was suddenly immersed In black

looking lovingly into each others eyes
were all that could be seen. All else
was. utter blackness Slowly they also
faded away, there was dark for an in
slant, the lights again shone, and the
curtain was down~an immensely effec-

was shown, too, in many little bits Of

opened, the playing ceasing as the door
closed: and men carefully examining
