White Race a MYTH,

San Francisco, Aug. 16.-A story dis
putting the existence of race of white
men on Mindanao island was told TO-
day by c. q. Stone, recently n member
of the army engineering corps in the
Orient, who returned yesterday. Stone
was commissioned by Captain Bald
win to make a tour of the island with
the purpose. in part. of ascertaining
the truth of the reports that race
of people distinct from the typical
Moros inhabited the interior portion Of
Mindanao.
Stone declares that the statements
made as to the existence of native
white men on the island are not found
ed on fact. He met many persons
whose facial characteristics denoted
Caucasian ancestry. particularly in the
matter of complexion. when contrast
ed with the Moro skin. but his in
dulries led to the development that
these lighter-hued people were de-
scended from Castilians who had long
ago settled on Mindanao and had mar
ried native women.

given to Lord Roberts and Lord kitch-
ener when they arrived from south

that the Boer generals had accepted an
invitation to visit King Edward at
Cowes. Afterward he said. the gen

added that n circular would be drafted
