All England isdeeply interested in
a new mystery-whatb became OF King
Thcebaw's crown Jewels ang other
wealth when the British occupied the
palace In Mandalay, Burmah, after
the campaign OF 1885.
This question has come up through
the death bed confession OF private
in the West Surrey Regiment, who
declares that he and companion,
Private William White, secured all
or portion OF these treasures and
hid them in a moat In the vicinity.
This statement has been made public,
and Private White has been sent To
Burmah TO help recover the treasure.
AT the time OF the British occupa.
ton orders were given by the Gov.
ernment that the annexation OF Bur.
nah should be carried out peacefully
and without bloodshcd, and every en-
teavor was made 10 obtain King
Theebaw's submission. But he re.
| fused TO comply with the British de.
manda, and the troops were marched
from the fotil.a TO the palace walls.
An assault was then made and the
palace was occupied. Shortly after

two wives were sent of by steamer
