KANSAS CITY. No., Nov. 30.-Early in
1864 tho steamer John T. Burlington
was sunk in the Missouri river near
Rockport, Mo. 1t was large govern
ment boat engaged then in carrying
supplies to Union soldiers at the out
posts. 1t was sunk by "Bill" Ander-
sons guerilla band, and of all the forty
or sixty persons on board there was not
q survivor.
Many expeditions have been formed
and much money spent to find the
boat for the treasure that was on it,
but they all failed. While railroad
contractors were blasting on shore an
immense piece of rock made hole in
the sandbar 100 yards out in the
stream. A party went into what proved
to be an old hulk aud found half a
dozen skeletons and one mummy. Two
small kegs OF gold were found and .
great many cases of gold. Only the
forward compartment was examined.
Today the afterpart of the vessel will
be entered by the discoverers. Much

DANvlLLA SUCCEEDS SILvElA
The Scandal Over the Steslings Of the
Columbus Celehratson Funds Ruins
SPANS Cabinet

MApRIp, Nov. 30.-A cabinet council
held today brought to light irrecon-
ciliable divisions among the minlsters.
The subject OF contention 10 the prose-
cution Of the municipal authorities for
corruption IN tho management OF
funds for the Columbus fetes. The
misappropriation OF funds has been
virtually proved. The governor of the
city. who - deeply involved, is known
to have conducted every part of the
arguments which he touched solely
to Till his own pockets. Large sums
which were to be expended on the
tetes are said to have been
squandered upon editors and cores
pondents in order that they might be
induced to hold their peace as to his
dishonesty. There is strong popular
demand for investigation and prosecu-
ton, in which three ministers concur.
The other ministers fear the conse-
quence for the cabl net and the popular
tumult which the revelations would
probably provoke. A crisis u regarded
rs imminent.
Danvtiia to Succeed Stivoia.
Senior Danvijla has succeeded Senior
Silvels in the ministery of the interior.
The change is but an expedient for
patching up Temporarily the difficulties
Of the cabinet which Is generally be-
heved is on the verge OF dissolution.
S,lvela's retirement undoubtedly is
due to his attitude toward tho scandal
Gus corruption Of his immediate sub
ordinate, SenOr Bosch, as Alcalde of
Madrid. Bosch is q favorite of the
powerful minister of colonies, Romeo
Robledo, and therefore when he was
known to be guiltyot misappropriation
of funds tor the Columbus fetes, Sill
vela feared to proceed against him.
Bosch asked originally for 800, ,000
francs with which TO celebrate in Mad
rid the Columbus anniversary. This
estimate was regarded as exhorbitant
and the press began TO make . hula
baliou about municipal extravaganza.
In order to still protest the mayor in
formed the editors and reporters that
if they would hold their peace he would
spend . good part Of the ], 800, ,00(
francs In giving them special dinners
excursion and theatre parties. The
bribes were not accepted and conse.
quently Bosch was compelled to re-
duce his estimate to $50, 900 francs
Much even Of this sum u said TO have
gone into his pockets and those of
other municipal authorities.
| At the same time it was discovered
that the Octrivi collectors appointed
by Bosch were Withholding half the
sums collected and were taking brlbes
right and left. An investigation VA.
forced upon the cabinet. The results
OF this investigation and questions as
to the bearing OF the blame and the
next step to be taken are undoubtedly
the concrete causes Of the cabinet di
visions which Tuesday's cable dis
patches attributed to differences OF
opinion as regards proceedings against
corrupt municipal officials.
