TO LOCATE SUNKEN GOLD.
Another Expedition in Search Of the
Treasure Ship De Braak.

PHILADELPHIA, August 24.-The tug
Mehrer steamed down the Delaware
yesterday morning, having on board
rs members of an expedition recently
organized in New York to search for
the wreck of the British warship De
Braak, which went down a century
ago near Cape HenlopeD, and, accord
ing to report, carried with her to the
bottom of the sea 100000 in gold.
This is the first expedition that has
sought the long-lost treasure, but the
capitalists now interested in the
search seem to think that they have
more definite information as to where
the ship went down, and the trip be-
gun yesterday is simply one of obser-
walton. They have, however, ample
capital, and are working with some
secrecy, refusing even to diVulge the
names of the parties interested.
An outline map of Cape Henlopen
and the adjacent coast will be care
fully prepared by the men on board
the Mehrer, complete set of survey
ing instruments forming the princi-
pal part of their equipage. This map
will be carefully compared with old
charts and historical data now in pos
session of the promoters of the enter
prise, and If the comparisons are sat
isfactory, work will be at once start
ed. a boat completely equipped
with the most modern submarine
machinery will be sent to the locality,
and another effort made to locate the
wreck and recover the treasure.
There is no doubt that there was a
ship De Braak, and that she founder
ed near Cape Henlopen, for the bod
les of Captain Drew and several of
his crew who went down with the
ship were washed ashore and given
burial In the little graveyard at
Levers, Delaware. A monument was
erected over the grave of Captain
Drew, and the ancient shaft is still a
conspicuous object in the quaint bur-
ial ground.
The exact spot where the De Braak
went down is not known accurately.
The ship, history rather vaguely
says, was returning to England with
gold collected from Central Ameri-
can governments. Stress of weather
forced Captain Drew to try and reach
a shelter in Delaware Bay. The wind
drove the stanch ship on a shoal near
Cape Henlopep, and she was dashed
to pieces. Very few if any of her
crew survived, but for many years
the story of her cargo OF bullion has
been credited, and many vain at
tempts have been made to locate the
treasure. Divers have worked all
along the coast during the summer
months, but all have been forced to
abandon the search because of the
heavy seas that roll in at that point
of the coast.
The recent discovery in London of
a chart compiled over a century ago
and now in possession of the Mari
time Exchange, shows that Cape
Henlopen was at the time Of the De
Braak disaster located at the mouth
of Indian river, several miles further
down the coast than the present loca-
ton. This fact may possibly account
for the i'll luck of previous searches
made for the wreck. The capitalists
interested in the present expedition
have, however, taken this matter into
consideration, and will spare neither
time nor money in prosecuting the
search.

.JAPAN'S NEW WARSHIPS.
Americans Almost Certain to Secure
Some Contract-RiVals Britain.

LONDON, August 24-The approach
ing visit of the son of the Japanese
Premier has caused q stir in ship
ping circles. It is reported that the
object of his visit, via Canada and
the United States, is to place con-
tracts for the construction of several
Japanese ironclads and cruisers, as
we'll as for considerable supply of
arms and ammunition. 1t is believed
there may be some truth in the first
portion of the report, but there are
people who claim there can be no
truth in the second part of it, as
Japan is understood to have supplied
her army with one OF the best rifles
in the world, the invention of Jap
anese, and her ammunition factories
are believed to be of the best.
If the Premier's son passes through
the United States on his way here, it
is reasonably certain he will drop
some of his proposed contracts in the
hands of American firms. The per-
Torrance of the United States cruiser
Colombia in her run from Southamp-
ton to New York, the magnificent
speed trial of the st. Louis and the
praise bestowed upon the United
States cruiser New York by naval ex-
perts who inspected her during the
Kiel celebration, have taken consid-
cradle wind out of the sails of British
shipbuilders and have clearly de-
monstrated the fact that Great Brit
ain now has dangerous rival for the
honor of being the great shipbuild-
ing country of the world.

NAVAL AUXILIARY VESSELS
Steamships That Gould Be
Readily Turned Into
Cruisers.
Would Become Formidable
Commerce Destroyers.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 1.-THE
completion of the American liner st. Paul
adds to the naval auxiliary list the fourth
vessel available for efficient service in
event of war, the three others being her
sister vessel st. Louis and the Paris and
New York, which came under American
registry by special Congressional legisla-
ton. Besides there are several others of the
Red Star line sailing from Philadelphia
which were for years the only vessels
crossing the Atlantic under the United
States flag. Several vessels of the Red
Star line and some running to Cuba and
West Indian ports are also IN the class
which could be impressed by the Govern
ment should they be required, but of the
entire number it is doubtful if any would
prove serviceable except the four crack
American liners.
All these vessels, while available for
Government purposes, would be of prac-
tically no value as fighting machines un-
less Congress authorized an appropriation
for the manufacture of guns to be used on
them in the service. An attempt was
made in the last session to secure an ap-
preparation for this work, but the entire
sum was stricken from the House bill by
the Senate. This session the Secretary
will renew his petition for an appropria-
ton, and, if granted, forty four-inch and
fifty five-inch naval rifles will be manufac-
tured for ships now subsidized and others
that may be gathered into the Government
fold.
Both the st. Louis and st. Paul are so
constructed as to be fitted with strong
battery in a short time. The Paris and
New York, with slight alterations, could
also be equipped, and would in all proba-
bllity make as fine commerce-destroyer
as many of the smaller ships of the navy
1t is contendeo by some of the officers that
they would be as efficient as some of the
cruisers for preying on commerce. The
recent additions to the fleet would be of no
use except as storeships.
Differed and manned with naval re-
serves the st. Paul and st. Louis would be
capable of playing havoc with foreign COM
merce. Their high speed would admit of
their overtaking the feetest ocean ships,
and with rapid-fire guns any merchant
ship could readily be brought to surrender
Their great coal-carrying capacity and
ability tn keep the seas for two or three
weeks II occasion required would make
them most useful to country which has
no outlying naval coaling stations. AS
auxiliary cruisers they are excelled only
by the Lucania and Campania, and
equipped with five and six inch guns could
give good fight to some of the best of the
unprotected cruisers.

GUNS WERE PASSED OUT.
Police Assailed by the Thieves
and a Lively Fight Fol-
lowed.
SOLDIERS WENT TO THE RESCUE
Two Men We're Killed and Several
Officers Arrested on Suspicion
of Being implicated.

SAN SALVADOR, Oct. 1.-THE police
discovered movement at 10 o'clock last
night among a number of men who had
congregated near the artillery barracks in
this city, and suspecting that something
was wrong, watched them very closely,
and after while saw that some persons
on the inside were passing arms to those
on the outside.
A messenger was Immediately sent
around by the officer in charge of the
police to advise the commandant of the
barracks, but the conspirators who were
receiving the arms got some inkling of
what was going on, and they intercepted
the messenger. The messenger called out
to his comrades, who came to the rescue,
when fight ensued, in which twelve
police officers were attacked by about
thirty citizens, and the police were getting
the worst of the affray.
The noise of the fighting attracted the
attention of the officers in the barracks,
who Immediately came out with over 100
men. The conspirators who had received
the arms, seeing the approach of an armed
body of men, Immediately fed, closely
pursued by police and troops, but owing to
the darkness they were enabled to make
their escape, and the police only sue
ceeded in making two arrests, and those
two both claimed they were attracted by
the row and had nothing to do with the
affair, and were released from custody this
morning, as there was no proof of their
completely.
Of the two men who were killed and
whose dead bodies were found one has
been Identified asa tramp and the other is
entirely unknown. The authorities have
ordered strict investigation into the
matter and number of soldiers and nom
commissioned officers have been arrested
on suspicion of being implicated in the
so-called stealing of arms.
1t is the general opinion that the arms
were being taken out of the barracks in the
interests of the revolutionists, who are re-
ported to be making efforts to bring about
rising in this city, while the friends of
the Government claim that it was simply
an attempt to steal few arms for the pur-
pose of selling them.

INCREASING UTILIZATION OF WINDPoWER.
DIR. Frank Waldo has called attention to
the great extension in the use of wind
mills in the United States. One firm sold
over 10000 wind wheels last year. The
total number OF wheels in use is upward of
100000, and the annual increase is put at
minimum of $4,000. The uses to which
wind wheels are put are numerous.
Probably the most important at the
present time is the working of water
pumps and the raising of water, either for
storage, domestic purposes or irrigation.
1t is also supersediDg horsepower on
farms for cutting wood and fodder. and
for churning and grinding grain. It is be-
lieved that the utilization of windpower,
by meant of wheels as a pumping force,
will be the main instrument in irrigating
and thus reclaiming the arid regions OF
wind wheels in the future will probably be
the accumulation of electric energy.
This application will be expedited
by some notable improvements
now in progress in the storage
OF electricity. In Texas, where the wind
Wheel has done good service, a 12-foot di-
ameter wheel is said to have raised from
$1,000 to 100000 gallons of water per month
to height of so feet. In Wisconsin, a To-
foot wheel raised fifty barrels of water per
day to height of so feet. In Iowa, 10
loot wheel raised water 40 feet in sufficient
quantity for 800 cattle. A 15-foot wheel in
Missouri has ground twenty barrels of
corn in one hour, and a 1O-foot wheel in
Nebraska raises 1000 gallons of water per
day to height of 20 feet. DR.. Waldo sug-
gcsts that the Government should under
take experimental work to determine what
can be accomplished by using wind as
motor in any region of the United States
in which wind observations have been
made.

she confessed that she had poisoned
twenty-three children, her object being to

OMAHA, NEBR., Oct. 1.-THE Citizens
Bank, small concern with $50, 600 capital
passed into the hands of the State Banking
Board to-day. The trouble arose through
bad loans, which the borrowers have been
renewing until the bank could not carry
them any longer. 1t is expected that the
bank will pass into receivers hands in
three or four days. The State board SAYS
that every dollar of liability will be paid
in full. There is sufficient cash on hand
to satisfy so per cent of the depositors'
claims. The officers of the bank have been
trying for the last six months to liquidate
and wind up its affairs, but finding they
could not make collections as RAPIDLY as
they expected. finally requested the State
