ing statement has been issued by the
Filipino junta here:
Information which has leaked through
the Pinkertons. sent by President Mckin--
ley to investigate the Shipment OF

shipments to Aguinaldo were made by
order OF the American government
through Omitted States Consul Wildman,
hence the shipmept per the Wing Foo.
1.-THE American government supse-
quently telegraphed to cease this, ooincid-
ing with the ooange Of policy to anpexa-
tion. Mr.. Wildman and Rear Admir- al
Dewey promised to pay, but have not yet
paid, for subsequent expedition by the
Abbey authorized by Rear Admiral
Dewey, who afterwards seized the steamer
and she is still held. Papers respecting
this are now In the possession of the Sec
rotary of the Navy. The protestations of
Rear Admiral Dewey and ether Ameri-
cans that they made no promises are
ridiculous In view of these facts let the

pinos and confided in by Them AMI vio-
lated by the recent treachery OF General
Otis "

A Sea Serpent Story Exploded.

A good instance Of the manner in
which sea serpent" myths originate is
afforded by certain paragraphs which
have recently appeared liz the AUS
tralian papers. IN it's issue of Feb
ruary 23d the Melbourne Argus" an
nounced the discovery at Suwanaw ISL
and, by the officer of local steamer,
Of the remains of sea monster that
had been stranded there some two
months previously. The creature was
said to be in such a bad condition that
collecting it's remains was a most try
ing task; but two heads, the two
backbones and part of the ribs We're
secured 1t was stated that there was
but one body, which had a double
spine, and two distinct head5'' while
the approximate weight of the animal
was estimated at not less than seventy
tons, and it's length fully sixty feet!
In the issue of the following day the
skulls We're said to be about three
feet long, and to carry a pair of tusks
at the tip Of the lower jaw. On March
I'd the same paper published an an
nouncement that E. Waite of the Aus
tralian Museum had identified the re-
mains as those of a "zithold~-obvi-
ously a misprint for "ziphioid." 1t
would thus appear that the alleged
double-headed monster Of seventy tons
weight and sixty feet length was based
on two carcnsses Of one of the species
of beaked whales which are of such
comparatively common occurrence on
the Australian coasts, and the largest
of which is not known to exceed thirty
feet in length!-Nature.
