On Washington Post, some descriptions of the "psychic demonstrations"
of Albert de Sarak (i.e. Alberto Santini-Sgaluppi) could be found in
"Wizard in the Temple" (Washington Post, March 16, 1902) (no direct
reference to Mansfield, but I suppose she was the "very charming young
woman [...] acted as his interpreter") "Delved Into the Occult"
(Washington Post, May 3, 1902) (in that Albert de Sarak was "General
Inspector of the Supreme Esoteric Council of Tibet" and Agnes E.
Mansfield his assistant and a member of "Esoteric Society of Tibet")
and "De Sarak's Mystic Feats" (Washington Post, October 17, 1902)
("General Inspector of the Supreme Esoteric Council of Thibet"; it
also cited "the Washington branch, known as the Directing Council of
the Esoteric Head Center, of Washington" (founded in 1902); no
reference to A. E. Mansfield), "Occultists at a dinner" (Washington
Post, March 9, 1903). In brief, on following French experiences of De
Sarak see also Marquis de Castellane (1910, December 4). Carnegie Fund
Goes Begging in French Capital. Washington Post.
