According to messages from" Constan
tino pie," the Turkishgovernmept takes
serious view otthe- patter . ana has
aent high officials to Jerusalem -to In
vestigate the charge that the foreign
ers despoiled the Moaqua of Omar : and
discovered and carried away sacred ret
ics hidden from the Romans when the
city "was sacked by Titus in-A. D, 70.
Jn-the meantime the present: whore-
abouta of the: .archaeologis'ts and. the
nature of their "spoils are mystery.
The members of the expedition embark.
ed with their pmes at Jaffa, 54 miles
by 'railway northwest o-LJerusalem. on
Apr?l 19. They went on board Cap.
Montagu -Parker's yacht,. : which, had
been awaiting 'them, and set sail before
the People of Jerusalem -learned what
they -had done.
TberffiB no doubt that the promoters
( the enterprise .hoped to discover the
arjt of the covenant, but a Constanti
ndple dispatch, says- it is believed - that
the explorers found. Solomon 'a crowb,
his s word and bis ring - and an ancient
manuscript of the Bible. .The extent of
the operations Is shown by the sfats
monrthat tO.000 has been spent by
