Indications That Several We're Concerned in
the Murder.
LONDON, March 8.-Further facts come
to Light regarding the murder Of DR.. Leider-
mann, whose body was found in a ravne
near San Reno. Leidermann paid frequent
visits to Monte Carlo. Subsequently two
Germans joined the doctor at the
hotel, and all three departed together
December 29Jh. On the evening of the same
day the TWO Germans returned to the hotel
without Leidermann. In response to in
guiries they explained that LeideTmann had
suddenly become insane and was placed in
I'll asylum at Nice, That night the Germans
left. The body Of Dr. LejdeTmaRn was after
ward found Is described. The spine of the
murdered man was punctured by pin SINH
lar to those used in prcking cards at the
gambling-taOles at Monte Carlo. The
pockets Of the dead man had been rifled.
II was evidently the intention Of the
murderers to give the idea that the
deceased had been ruined by gambling
at Monte Carlo and in desperation had
photograph Of the deceased to Monte
Carlo. There it was remembered that a
man OF the description had gambled there
in company with reputed Polish Countess
and her German paramour. These two have
been arrested and sent as prisoners to San
Reno. 1t is supposed the Countess decoyed
Jiedermann, bu. it is uncertain as 10 whether
the man, her paramour, aided in the killing.
The police are inclined to believe that a
large gang are implicated in the crime.

Palace at Madrid.

WILKEsBARRE, March S.-The First N =
tionaI Bank of Pittsburg has made public
two long letters received from a priest in
Spain, with reference to treasure buried in

letter from his wife, which told him to bury
his treasure. His wife becoming very sick
he returned to Europe and found her dead
He was arrested in Spain and thrown into
prison.
Mateo, while in prison, confided all thess
facts to priest, who wrote to the bank at
Pittston. The priest believes from con-
versatiOn with Mateo that the treasure was
buried in Luzerne County. Mateo died in
prison soon after making his disclosure. The
priest makes an offer to give one-fourth
of the treasure to pay the costs Of any suit
which may be necessary to prove the owner

sends document bearing the seals and sig
nature of the Spanish court in Madrid, certi-
flying that a delay of four months
has been allowed the priest in which
to secure the money and redeem the cas-
ket If Jewels. The Spanish Government is
willing to dismiss the suit which is pending
against the dead mans estate, if costs are
paid and the jewels are returned. Mateo's

buried with the treasure, from the palace.

to recollect that the Congress of American
Nations plainly proved that the Spanish
Americans are not disposed to allow them
selves to be absor bed by the great northern
republic. The people Of Cuba. it says, are
strongly Spanish and equally opposed to be-
coming part of the United States. Probably,
with the exception of tradesmen, there is no
one in the island who is at all desirous Of
annexation. Spain, the Heraldo continues,
would shed her last drop of blood in resist
ing any attempt to deprive her of her colony,
fearing neither a Cuban revolution nor war
with the United States.
