St. Paul daily globe., 1893-04-20

Among the guests at the Merchant
yesterday was A. w. Andrews, of Port
land. Or, one of the best-known ship
owners and merchants in the entire
Northwest.
81 am on my way to New York for the
purpose of interesting some of the CAPT
talistS in new invention" said Mr.An-
crews. I'VE have new plan for rails
ing sunken vessels and there is pile of
money in the idea. Ont on the Western
coats of the United States there are
rumber of old wrecks which have never
teen raised, and which are rich with
the treasure which was sunk with them
VIII EN- they went down on the coast.
There is one wreck in particular which
will prove profitable investment if it
IS brought to the surface, and it is my
purpose to raise the money required for
the locating and raising of the
vessel. 1t is a galleon which was
sunk off the coast Of California
about fifty years ago. 1t is laden
with gold and silver bars and quantity
efcoin which is worth about $4,000, 600.
Tile vessel was lost with all On board,
and there were number of vessels
which saw the wreck and which were
storm themselves.
"SThe vessel has practically been
located, and number of portions Of the
wreck nave been dragged from the bot
tom of the ocean. She is still there, but
there have been some changes in her
location from the fact that the currents
have changed her position. 1t is our
plan to raise the vessel and get the
salvage Oh her cargo. There are no
owners that we know of, as the vessel
was the property of the Spanish govern
ment, and the representatives of Spain
Ahave doubtless lost all interest in the
old hulk. One of the divers in our en-
pioy found a couple Of gold bars near
the wreck, and we are sure that we will
find the major portion of the cargo"
81 have been travelling in Mexico for
some time" said George j. MoeIler, of
Sc. Louis, at the Ryan, land | have
seen some queer things there. You
know it is the custom to have bull
fight there every fall, and it is the Gus
tom to have all the ladies and wealthy
gentlemen attend. They enjoy the
bloody affairs the same as though they
were a game of base bali, and as if
there was not the chance for some of
she participants to loose their lives or
be MANNED for life by the horns of the
bull. 1t is no child's play, but it is all
in earnest. The bulls are made mad by
the treatment which they receive for
the few days before the affairs come
off, and the animals are in a condition
% gore the life out of any person who
las the temerity to approach one of
them. Last December had the chance
of seeing one of these bull fights, and
naturally took the opportunity by the
horns.
''On the day of the event there was an
immense crowd at the place. and the
people were mad with lust for blood.
Ghe pretty senoritas were even more
Jloodthirsty than were the hidalgos, and
hey screamed with impatience when
he affair was delayed even for a short
ime. The men who fought with the
animals were protected to certain eX-
;ent with pads and other things, but the
bulls had good chance of taking away
their lives. The animals were let into
the enclosure at the sound of trumpet,
md they made good appearance when
hey entered the ring. The horses which
some of the men rode were poor Great
ureS which had been condemned for the
occasion, and which were hardly able to
hold the weight of the riders who be-
strobe them. The men carried all kinds
of weapons, and they tOrmented the
poor bulls, who did not know which way
to turn. 1t was disgusting spectacle,
and the people seemed to revel i'll it."
