The search for the british PrIgate that
Rank In I7aS on LeWea, Del.

WILMINGTON, DEL, October 26.-A spe-
cial from Lewes to the lforning Nelcs, dated
Saturday, gives the iact that the Interna-
tional Submarine Diving Company, organ
lied two years ago by capitalists in Phila-
delphia to search for the Do Brook, an
English sloop.of.war, which ioundercd in
u storm Off Lewes, on June 10, l7OS,
has discovered evidences OF the miss
ing vessel. According to papers in pos
session of Samuel =. McCracken, u pilot,
whose grandfather was the only survivor,
and who was plotting the vessel into
the harbor, about So, ,0O0, 900 Of specie and
Jewels went down with her, The money
was taken by the De Brook from an inter-
Cepted Spanish fleet while on her way to
Halifax, England, from successful cruise
on the Spanish Main. With the specie
were taken two hundred prisoners, When
the vessel ioundered tho prisoners were In
irons on the lower decks, and were oil lost,
Captain James Drew, who commanded the
vessel, and whose body was recovered two
days afterward, lies buried In st. Peters
ChurCh.yard In Lewes. Two years after
the wreck the British Government sent two
frigates to raise tho De Brook, but without
success. Forty years ago, while McCrackenn
was on cruise, circulars were posted
around Sussex County offering $4,000
for information that would lead to the
discovery OF the sunken vessel. 1t
had been supposed up to the present
that the hulk had been swept away by the
action OF tho tides. The International
Company, to keep Its real object from view,
had been since September working at an
other sunken vessel, near where the De
Brook was supposed TO have foundered:
McCracken, who Is To receive majority OF
whatever treasure is discovered, in al in
terview, says that tho Dc Brook lies In
fifteen iathoms OF water. The divers, in
going down, found long, irregular ridge,
about 10 feet high, Is feet wide and G0 feet
long On each side arc piles Of loose stone,
supposed to be the ballast thrown from the
trigate in the effort to raise tho wreck In
the year 1900. Rough weather interfering
with further operations the company were
compelled to postpone furtherinvestigation,
and on Wednesday the divers returned to
Philadelphia. The work, however, will be
vigorously pushed forward as soon as favor.

member how many Republican conyen-

INDIAN TROUBLES.
Surveying Party In Danger-OuIbreak
OF the salt River Indians.

SAN FRANCISCO, October pa Tucson
special says the Texas & Pacific railroad
surveying party have applied for military
escort, which has not been granted. The
survey leads them through the San Carlos
Agency to Globe, and it Is feared that the
Indians may be suspicious OF their move
ments and give trouble, Should they sus-
pect that II was Gn attempt to steal their
lands they will probably attack the survey
OrS,
A special from Casa Grande says: Early
this morning Mrs. X, b. Wheeler, wife Of
the Parma Indian Agent, arrived at this
station, accompanied by Miss Luta French,
Mrs, J, Armstrong AIrs. Dyke and o young
son OF Mr., Wheeler, They say that the
Salt River Indians have become provoked
ut the agent on some pretext and are arm
ing themselves, and are on their way to
attack the agency They say that these
reports are verified by old settlers on the
Salt river arriving ut the agency.
Rev. Mr., Cook, an old resident OF the
agency, expresses hmselfas much alarmed
ut the outlook. 1t seems that the Indians
are in the habit Of going to Tempe and
getting on big drunk. Wheeler has
had them arrested and punished, by COM
pelling them to labor. This is thought to
BIO the cause Of the threatened difficulty.
They are said to be GOO strong, and will
probably appear at the agency to-day.
What makes this movement somewhat in
explicable Is the fact that they have al
ways been peaceable towards the whites,
though foes Of the Apaches, for whom in
times past they were more than match.
1t is not thought that anything serious will
come out OF this. The Indians, when they
started, were doubtless under the influence
Of liquor. BY the time they reach the
agency they will bc modified, and will not
care TO carry out their threats, The agency
guard consists OF officers and teachers and
fifteen DOliCemCn.
