PIRATE MORGANS TREASURE.
Captain Giessler's Odd Expedition to Re-

 mote Cocos Island After Mythical Mill lions.
 From the San Francisco Chroniclel Captain Giessler, the daring naviga-
 tor who travelled many thousands of
 miles in the Pacific ocean in little sloop, has again turned up in the role of treasure hunter. With a small
 party of Germans he left Panama a month ago on the steamer Costa Rica for Cocos Island, where the famous treasure of Pirate Morgan is supposed to have been buried for over seventy five years. Giessler's party arrived at Panama from New York while the steamer Acapulco was in port and First Officer Blackman of that steamer had g. long interview with the venture some captain. Several expeditions have been fitted out from this coast in quest of the treasure trove, but for nerve the voyage of Captain Giessler is without precedent. With crew of two he made the trip from San Francisco to Cocos Island. He spent some time ashore, but did not locate the loot of the pirate. One of the men died, and Giessler put out for Costa Rica. Arri- wing there, he secured a concession from the President to colonize the is- land To do this is the ostensible pur- pose of the visit of the party, but Giess- Ter did not attempt to hide the real ob- ject of his trip.
 The colonizing party consists of Cap- tain Giessler, Miss Fisher, MT. and Mrs. Laube and two children, MT and Mrs. Meier, MT and Mrs. Pfeiffer, and

PROTEST AGAINST THE REMOVAL.

4 vigorous protest has been entered by

tee against the removal Of the six
monitors from their present station
That body met Thursday TO discuss the
action of the naval authorities In ORDER
ing the Lehigh and Catskill 70 the Nor
folk navy-yard for repairs ana the re-
port that these two boats would be ADDED
10 the naval reserve, while the other
four would be stationed permanently III

powered TO represent the case from the
standpoint Of the committee TO the gov
ernment authorities. and Congressman
Tazewell Elicit went TO Washington that
night to call on Secretary Herbert with a
view TO having the orders for removal
rescinded.
should neither Of these gentlemen be
successful i'm altering the present deter
mination of the naval authorities, sim
further steps will be taken by the COM
nittee. Very considerable sums OF money
have been expended by this city at va
rious times TO ensure the safety and well
fare Of the boats; costly break-water
has been erected. and the station re-
peatedly dredged. 1t IS admittedly one
of the healthiest lacotions, and in this
Island station, the back channel OF
which is said to be literally filed with
malaria.
The complement OF officers and men on
board the six monitors is seventy-two
The payroll of the men for the last quar-
ter amounted to $500. while the officers
nay for the same period reached the total
Of $3.50. The yearly amount. then. that
IL paid to the crews of the boats is
N2. COO and it is estimated that fully
5000 more is spent annually for coal
and wood. Practically all this money
finds it's way into the hands of Richmond
tradesmen, and its loss would be very
serious consideration.
The sentiment of the men is all In favor
OF remaining in Richmond. where
many OF them have their families.
Chief Engineer John Lowe. who was sent
from Washington to overhaul the ma
chinery of the boats. said to Dispatch
man Thursday that he would have every
thing I'm order and ready for the boats
20 move in about a week.
Commander Pigman, who during his
three years service with the fleet has
made hosts of friends in Richmond and
won the affectionate esteem of the men
under him, has not yet received the order
transferring him 10 Honolulu. He will
probably do so to-day. Those who have
.erved under Commander Forsyth speak
,erv highly of him.

Quiet prevails on the Elkhorn to-day.

been holding secret meetings. II is sup
posed that they are discussing the pro
nr,e,v OF resorting 20 the courts TO com,
mel the operators 10 put In scales. IL Is
also reported that the West Virginia ope-
rators held a private meeting to-day. The
manager OF the Southwest mine has been
warned to keep his electric power-house
well guarded. the military guard having
heen withdrawn from duty at that point.
The miners here are still uneasy, although
the force at work Is being daily increased.
