How the British Government Let That

How the British Government Let That
sum slip Thro' Their Fingers.
All England isdeeply interested In
a new mystery-what became OF King
Thcebaw's crown Jewels and other
wealth when the British occupied the
palace In Mandalay, Burmah, after
the campaign of 1885.
This question has come up through
the deathbed confession OF private
In the West Surrey Regiment who
declares that he and companion,
Private William White, secured ali
or a portion OF these treasures and
bid them In 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 bloodshed, and every en-
deavor was made to obtain King
Theebaw's submission. But he re.
fused 70 comply with the British de.
mandS, and the troops we're marched
from the fotila TO the palace walls.
An assault was then made, and the
palace was occupied. Shortly after
Theebaw abdlcated, and he and his
two wives were sent of by steamer
As soon as the King had given his
submission guards were hurriedly
placed in the royal rooms to protect
the jewels OF countless worth which
were known TO he there. And great
was the British Disappointment when
IL was discovered that the treasures
had disappeared. Among these mis-.
sing treasures was gold calf weigh.
ing several hundred weight, as we'll
as a portion Of the rega Ia and guam
titles of precious stones The crown
is studded with rubles and diamonds
and is surL ounted by peacock.
AT the time suspicion rested on
the Burmah Ministers and the maids
Of honor, and every effort was made
TO trace the treasure, but without
avail. Now, after nine years, the
whole subject comes up on this con-
fession of private soldier who was
present at the attack on the palace,
and who declared that he and COM
panion buried the stolen plunder be-
meath sentry-box.
Theebaw's kingly wealth was in
disputable. lie had accumulated
from his ruby mines most valuable
collection of stones, and his insignia
were set with damon is OF the rarest
sze. What was known as his
betel-box was Of pu:e gold, and the
cover was ornamented with rows of
rub!es and diamonds, the center ruby
alone weighing thirty-nine and one
half tarats There was alsu in this
collection golden ever. made as a
receptacle for sacred water to be used
at the coronation. 1t was done In
the shape OF crayfsh, of pure gold
and studded with Jewels.
The crown is also OF gold and GOV.
cred with pearls and diamonds.
These articles, together W tn the
royal peacock and the Henza, were
present at all royal audiences and
were ther ore familiar TO the many
agents and officers ofthe Brit sh Gov
ernment who had been admitted to
Theebaw's presence. They were. In
fact carried about with him.
Through all this picturesquenes
one can perceive an earnest pi0ue
that Great Britain somehow failed to
gobble that thirty-nine carat ruby.
