TRUCKING. TFIE
EGYPTIANS.

When the firm OF Haywood, Stone 8

Cairo. Egypt, 1 was placed In charge.
My business was the buying Of rugs,
vases, arms, cloths and whatever else
might ind sale in England. That was
what may calImy general and legit-
innate business. AS side line was

TO the founding Of that agency In Cairo
only few museums in Europe OF
America had been able to secure speci-
mems. To get hold Of mummy with
a history required a couple Of years
diplomatic correspondence between
governments, and the cost would run
up as high as $50, 900. Under the laws
Of Egypt, 1t was death to disturb the
dead without official permission, and
death to any foreigner discovered try

money and shared the profits. When

orders for 80 mummies.
Let me tell you that had crafty
part to play. In way the branch
was under the supervision Of the
Egyptian government. At the end OF
each week had to submit list Of

to pass the customs officials. My ware
rooms must always be open to official
inspection. was not told in SO many
words that all this watchfulness was
to prevent me from dealing in. mum
mics, but of course knew that 1t was.
My first step was to bride every official
who could obstruct me, and had to
move slowly in the matter and make
no mistakes. Then an agent must be
found to look up and ship me the
specimens from points In the interior.
and he had to be nervy as well as
an honest man. He in turn would
have to find faithful men, and taken

the sex or whether there was record

wanted kings, queens, generals or
poets who had been dead from 3.00O

saEy to inform the reader that always
filed these orders. After getting a
mummy into my warehouse had a

FREEDOM AN AFTERTHOUGHT.
Admiral Dewey COntradicts One of
AguinaIdO's Generels.

The letter received by Senator Pettigrew
from one of Aguinaldo's generals, ]. Ale
jandrins containing alleged account OF
an interview between himself and Admiral
Dewey on board the Olympia in the Bay
of Hong Kong in April 1895. in which 1t Is
stated Admiral Dewey promised independ-
ence TO the Filipinos, was shown to the ad-
miral last night.
The admiral characterized it a tissue Of
falsehoods" and absurd on its face.
II not only had no power to promise in
dependence to the Filipinos,' said he. but
the whole tenor of the words put in my
mouth stamps them as false. l am made
to say things which I never thought of
and which | could never have uttered. You
will notice that 1 am addressed in the al
legged interview as admiral, when at the
time I was commodore.
The admiral said he had never heard of
Alejandrins. Several Filipinos, after much
importuning did come aboard the Olympia
at Hong Kong. They were anxious to be
taken to Manila.
81 considered their representations of lit
tie Importance" said the admiral. land L
did not take them to Manila Later l gave
permission to Aguinaldo and about dozen
others to come 20 Manila. All that they
were anxious about at that time was an
end of the tyranny Of Spain against which
they had been fighting. After the destruc-
ton of Montojo's fleet the city virtually
surrendered. and / am satisfied if We had
had 1900 troops there at that time we
could have gone ashore and been received
by the Fiipinos as deliverers. They had
absolutely no thought then of independ-
ence. That afterthought of their
leaders during the interim between the
smashing of the Spanish fleet and the ar
rival of the United States troops"
Speaking of the report that Cuba was to
be evacuated by the American troops after
the holding of the constitutional conven-
tion, Admiral Dewey said he did not see
| how the United States could turn over the
island to the Cubans until a stable govern
ment had been established.
We are responsible TO the world for the
| orderly conduct of affairs in Cuba said
| he. ''and until such a government Is estab-
I liShei | cannot see how We can withdraw
| We are confronted with similar situation
| IN the Philippines. The world looks to US,
and no matter which political party wins

I linquish the islanus until a responsible and
I stable government is set up there.
