Gently left this port for the Island of Mar
garila, neal Cumana, for the purpose Of
recovering the military chest and other
treasures and stores lost by the laundering
Of the Spanish so gun ship " San Pedro dc
Alcantara."
The San Pedro was one Of large fleet
of slips. ot.war and transports which sailed
from Cadlz early in lsl5, with an army
of $4,000 men TO rcconqncr the reyoltcd
Provinces oil the Spanish main. being tie
Admiral's ship and the largest IN the
Squadron, 10 her was entrusted all the
treasure and military stores necessary for
an expedition Of such magnitude.
The loss Of til ship occurred in April,
1873, at noon dag, within league OF the
Island and in lO7 taihouls of water. To
this severe calamity may be attributed the
failure Of the Spanish army under MorIlo,
and the subsequent independence of the
South Ane lean Republics. For an in
leresllng account of this, see Niles Reg
lister, Of June, 1910, 9Th vol, 292d page,
also of Sept, 1919, 9th vol. page 81
and lately in The Albion Of the 23d of
Nov, in review Of work entitled Me-
moirs Of the war OF South American indie
pendence."
Since 1915 the wreck has quietly sam.
beIed al the bottom of the sea, its where
a5ous known only TO the fishermen of the
coast. The hull lies in ten and half Faith
oms of water, on hard aud sandy bottom
between the island of Margari'a and the
main land. The ncighbnring sea is ordi-
nariy smooth, and seldom violently aglta-
ted Authentic ace uuis state that she
remains in tn same position in which She
went down. Her decks are partially fal.
len in, owing, it is supposed, to the weight
of her armament, an the action Of the
worms on her wood work.
The present expedition has permit
from the Venezuelan Government TO re-
cover all the lost treasure aud stores, with
the sole condition Of paying into the Trea-
sury Of the Republic five per cent. on all
recovered. - Baltimore American.
