BURIED TREASURE.

The BANNER learned from Mr.. j.
D. Affieck, of Gay Hill, who was in
the city Monday, that considerable
excitement has been created up there
by the unearthing OF some buried
treasure on the Copeland farm. The
German tenant noticed a few days
ago some small stakes near large
live oak tree that stood on the inside
of the field near the public road, but
paid no particular attention to
it as he thought perhaps some
one had staked off grave
there, and in passing by
kicked one of the stakes down, but
noticed that the next time he passed
it had been replaced. Sunday a
a Mexican was seen leaving the spot
with sack thrown across his back
that seemed to be as much as he
could carry, and an examination of
the spot revealed the fact that an ex-
cavation about two feet deep had
been made and a stout box taken
therefrom and emptied of what
might have been. and for all any
body knows was gold coin, perhaps
some of old Santa Annals buried
treasure.

SANDOVAL DENIES.
Claims Not to be Connected With
Revolutionary Move


Special to the Gazette.
LAREDO, WEBB COUNTY, TEX, Sept. Oh
Revolutionary news has died out. Gen.
Sandoval, in recent telegram to his wife,
virtually discredits all reports connecting
him with the move. This. however. is al
Legged to be blind, as Ssndoval. though
not wishing TO again risk his life
in the revolutionary move, is
still one of the prime leaders
and IS in New Orleans. 1t is also said
that had it been necessary in his trial
months ago when he was caught by United
States troops with only an undershirt after
4 raid to Mexico with seven men
he would have sworn that
his plan was TO draw money
from parties who wished to depreciate the
value of Mexican securities.
Two or three companies of troops came
into New Laredo last night from Monterey
and with them military band, and early
this morning played reveille. Both the
Laredos enjoyed the music. 1t is under
stood that they came to take the place of
troops who went down the river few days
ago to look after CARA and his band.
Developments in connection with this mat
ter are expected to come to light in a few
days which may surprise some people, and
will probably weaken the confidence Of
many in the reputation of the avowed SYM
pathizers of Cara In Laredo.

Third streets, and her father, Lansing c.
WashburHe, was member of the Wall
street firm of Townsend & Washburn, of
which J. p. Townsend, president of the
knickerbocker trust company. was a
special partner. The failure of Barring
Bros. embarrassed the firm and ruined Mr.
Washburn. He is now employed by the
Thomson-Houston electric company. estab-
fishing agencies throughout the country.
Mrs. Washburn said last night that her
daughter had gone upon the stage from
necessity, not from choice. She had to do
something to earn livelihood, and pre-
ferred the stage to teaching music.
