'LONDON , Dec 2S So many alleged dis
closures of secret Dclago.i bay agreements
have reccnlly been Hiibmltlcd lo the Drlllsh
foreign o trice that the officials have made It
a rule neither lo deny nor nOlroi thorn nnd
when que lloned today regarding Iho slnle-
menlfl of the Lokal Auzclgcr the olllclals ad
hered lo Iho rule. Uttt a roprcsentallvo of
Iho Associated I'rcns gathered that the al
leged disclosures were quite Inaccurate.
A dispatch to the Times from Berlin com
ments on Iho Lokul Anrelger Irealy slnlo-
mcnts Is as follows. "When It Is remembered
that two of Portugal's Asiatic poFsessIons ,
Goa und Danwo , form enclaves of the
province of Dombiy , Ihe filalemcnls of the
Lokal Anzclger bonier on the fnntasllc "
The SI. James Gazelle , In an editorial to
day on the reported treaty , says It is a
"raero patchwork of previous reports , some
partly true nnd some entirely false "
The probnblo truth Is that , ns previously
reported , Iho Portuguese possessions In
Africa , north and south of the Zambesi , will
ultimately bo leased to Great Britain and
Germany , respectively.
PARIS , Doc. 28 The publication by the
Lokal An/elger of Berlin of the secret treaty
between Germany , Portugal and Great
Britain , providing for Iho partition of the
Portuguese colonies , meets with no credence
In olllclal circles here. A foreign office
onicl.il said lo a representative of tbo Asso
ciated Press that their advices from Portugal
and Germany left no doubt that the pub
lication was largely Invention. They could
noi bellovo Portugal would sign a treaty
"stripping Itself of Us colonies and so far-
reaching andf.harmf ul . { o' Portugal. " ,
Notwllhslandlng Iho denial of Iho French
foreign office. It Is believed In other quarters
that ah agreement Jietween Great Britain
and Germany may exist outside of the under-
star ding arrived nt between them last year
and as an outcome of the negotlallons lo
build a telegraph line connecting Capetown
with Cairo
BCRL1N , Dec 28 A German olficiil
agency Issued a statement yesterday even
ing to the effect that the assertions of the
Lokal Anzelger were "arbitrary and erron
eous guesswork. "
Ofllchl circles In Berlin describe Ihe stalc-
menls made ns "quite Inaccurate "
Regarding the slatcment by the Lokal
An7dgcr that n secret Anglo-Gernnn-Portu-
grcso trcaly exists for the division of Ihe
Portuguese colonies In South Africa , Ihe cor
respondent of the Associated Press Is able
to nf-sert on the highest authority that the
slory Is a putc fiction and In all Its claim
without foundation. The high official who
authorizes th | denial made Iho following
declaration. .
' Therei Is no objection to stating that the
understanding had by Great Britain , Ger
many and Portugal refers only to Africa
and ( caves Asia ontlicly out. It lu quite

WASHINGTON , Dec. 28 The task of n -
cortalnlng facts connictod with Ihc seizure
of American flour by Urltlsh warships off
the coast of Portuguese Kaal Africa , ! i'.3
been confided lo Ihe Untied States consular
agent nt Lourcnzo Marque ? . This officer was
selected by consul Hollls to look after the
affairs of the United States consulate nt
Louren/o Marque/ during the time he , Hol-
lla , was discharging the duly of Unllcd Siaics
consul at Pretoria Hollls has reported to
the State department that the consular agent
Is n thoroughly capable official nnd may be
trusled lo look aflor American Interests at
Lourcnzo Marquez Under the instructions
sent to him by Secretary Hay yesterday he
wilt ascertain all of the facts connected wllh
the seizure of the flour and particularly the
namca of the persons to whom this flour was
consigned nnd the actual ownership of the
goods
The Department of State Is determined to
do everything proper to maintain American
rlgnta In the matter of neutral trade In this
caec. Hut so far the department Is In alxsn-
lulo Ignorance of many essential fuels re
garding the seizures and cannot proceed to
make any complaint until It has made mire
of itu ground. It does not even know that
all of the flour was seized , as was at first re
ported , and there Is reason to believe lhat
In the case of nt least one consignment the
( lour was not seized , but won dimply diverted
to another port than Ijourenro Marque ? , and
there left subject to the disposition of Its
owners Although this may alto be n breich
of neutral privilege , It presents n different
taso entirely from n seizure outilght.
To determine wllh accuracy all of the cle-
menls necessary lo the preparation of a pro-
lest against a seizure of the kind reported
iipcctfcnrlly consumes much tlmo and the
Stale department , following the usual course ,
cannot be expected lo act otherwise Ihan In
lha Una Indicated During our late war
with Spain wherever a seUuro was made by
our warships of a merchant vessel laden
with supplies Intended for Spanish ports we
politely Informed foreign powers which un-
dcilook to protest that they would bo obliged
to wait thn usual and regular action of our
prize courts. Thus , when a French ship was
towed Into Charleston , notwithstanding the
representation made by the French govern
ment , our government insisted on carrying
ot.t all of the routine proceedings of a prl/e
trial. In one of the cases growing out of
th t particular seizure it was nearly two
months before Iho parties claiming to be
aggrieved by Iho seizure and detenllon of
the ship , secured a final decision of the case
by the Kupreme court of the United Stains
Yt-t this case was simplicity Itself compared
with the legal problems presented In the
stoppage of a Drltlsh merchant ship by a
British man-of-war and the search of a neu
tral cargo for conlraband of war.
Thceo facts are Bet out by the officials of
thi > Stale department as an explanation of
the reason why the departmenl has so far
not yielded Id Ihc clamor of n certain ele
ment for Ill-considered and hasty action In
tha case of these reported seizures off Dela-
goa bay.

which Crcoswell falls lo correspond with
the evidence of the doctors lo signs whlili
are admitted lo be borne by Iho missing
Tlchbonie One of these Is lhat there aio
no marks as of blooding cuts on Cresswells
ankles. Hut , the examining ph > alchns point '
out that such marks might easily bave bceu
obllteralod on lhn legs after long years
The olher and apparently Ihe more serloiu
discrepancy Is lhat while Tlchbonie was Jlvo
feel elghl and a half- Inches In height Crro-
well Is five feet six and thrco-quarterJ

now an old man and withered. The shrinkj j
ling In height would be n natural result of i
'senility , nnd probably fifteen years ape
CrfBswell may have been five feet eight and
a half Inches In height
The laltoo marks which existed on Tlcli-
borne do not exist on Cresswell , but there
Is a wound In the exact locality , whlrh
might be that of a cautery dliectud to tie

WASHINGTON , Dot JS Assistant Sec-
retail .MelKlejobn of Ihe War department
his written a letter lo UcprcsenlalUe Long
of Kansas , defining the policy of the de
partment regarding the commerce of the
Philippines , with special lefercnco to the
opening of ports foi the exportation of hemp.
Ml' Long had tiansmltlcd a letter of ,1 con
stituent alleging that there was eo little
Manila hemp In the country now lhat Ihe
price was 11 to 15 cents a pound , as against
a nominal prlio of 5 or G Lents , while only
12,000 bales a week have been shipped to this
country tlncc the war began. Instead of
" i 00t ( bales per week ns formetjy
Premising bis explanation with the statc-
luint Ihnl General Otis his already been
Irslructod to open the hemp ports OH soon
ns he hod proper garrisons , which should
bo early In January , Mr. Mclklcjohn goes
on te show lhat the correspondent has an
erroneous Idea as to Ihe effect of the war
upon the hemp shipments. He says that the
laigtst hemp exportation from the Islands
In any ono year was In 1SU7 , when exports
averaged 17,300 bales per month. During
lic ! ten months of 1899 the Imports of hemp
Into the Unllcd States amounted to IB , 175
tons , which shows , he adds , lhat there never
haj been a year when so much entered the
United Stales as In Ibis war year , while Us
value has been $11 per Ion less than In 1SS9
or 1891.
Mr Melklejohn Indicates that the corie-
apoi dent picked out certain years of ugricul-
lural depression In the wheat states .is the
basis of his exceedingly low quotallons of
pagt prices of hemp He declares that the
communkallons received by the department
from manufacturers and brokers Indicate
.that there is no trust or combine controlling
the hemp inaiKct , .is feared , by tbo farmprs
nnd he concluded his Icttqr as follows
"The War department Is doing everything
compatible with the requirements of Ihc
military situation to develop the trade of
the Philippine Inlands und Is confident that
tb1 so-called hemp polls will bo opened lo
Irade In ample lime foi any accumulations
of hemp Ihereln conlalnsd lo reach this
country and bo manufactured before tbe
next wheat harvest , Inasmuch as the com
bination of low freight rates and high prices
of fiber will tend to bring the shipments
by steamer In lieu of silling v easels , as
they require only three months for the Irlp
nnd an additional month will suffice to place
the manufactuied article In Iho hands of
fanners , shlpmenls leaving Manila In March
v.otild bo available for the harvests of Iowa ,
Ntbrabka and the northwestern tlates "
