Sherman's Buried Treasure.

General Sherman laughs at the dispatch from
Charlotte, sc, which says that two strangers
are searching in Kershaw county, Sc, for a
treasure buried there in 1865 by General Sher-
man when his army passed through that state.
According to the dispatch the treasure consists
OF jewelry and coin valued at between SI0O. 600
and 100000. General Sherman says he never
buried u treasure in the first place and that he
never was within 50 miles OF the spot where the
treasure is alleged to have been concealed.
When he passed through South Carolina he did
not enter Kershaw county.

NOTHING IN 1T.
The Cock and Bull Story About Trouble
Between This Country and Portugal.

An official of the State department said to-
day regarding the possible troubles between
this country and Portugal growing out of the
Delagoa bay railway controversy, to which
reference was made yesterday III a New York
evening paper, that he was disposed on the
whole to regard the story untrue. He added,
however, by way of explanation. that last une,
when the trouble first began. Secretary Blaine
cabled Minister Loring at Lisbon to see that
the rights of the Americans involved were
amply protected. There has been beyond this
he thinks, no further correspondence upon the
subject.
WHAT SECRETARY TRACY SAYS.
Secretary Tracy said: Il know nothing about
Mr.. Baine's department. This may or may
not be true, so far as the State department is
concerned, but it is absolutely untrue So far as
the Navy department is concerned The
squadron OF evolution went to Lisbon because
1t was the first Of a number of places they were
told to visit. They will go from there to
Gibraltar and they will continue to put in at
different ports until their cruise has ended.
There Is no more significance in their appear
anee at Lisbon than there will be at any other
Mediterranean or continental port. l will go
further and say that there is no international
difficulty between Portugal and this country
that makes the presence OF the squadron neces-
sary there nor anywhere else, for that matter. ~
WHAT THE PORTUGUESE MINISTER SAYS.
Mr.. f. De Souza Roza, the recently appointed
Portuguese minister to this country said:
'There is nothing the controversy that is
liable to cause trouble between the United
States and Portugal. There Is nothing in it
whatever that cannot be peaceably settled
through the ordinary diplomatic channels"

Ditman Wanted No Money.

Banker Ditman of Philadelphia had no
reason for running away. So saws Alexander
Z. Colesberry, the attorney for the estate. A
chain OF evidence has just been worked ont
which tends to prove to the Ditman family that
not only had Ditman no cause to run away, but
that upon the very day of his disappearance he
had effected arrangements by which he ex-
pected to materially advance his business in
terests in the near future. The most import
ant link in this cham of evidence is the letter
OF winch fac-simile is herewith shown, which
reads as follows:
