HIDDEN TREASURE.
The People of Hope. kas.. Greatly Ex-
cited over a Find.

Salina, Kan. March 29.-People liv-
ing in and around the little town of
Hope, west Of here, in Dickinson coun-
ty, are considerably excited over the
belief that a great treasure is hidden in
a cave in that vicinity.
Thirty years ago a settler living in
Morrison county, east of Dickinson,
cared for a sick stranger, who, when
near to death. told them that he was
the last of a gang of outlaws who for
several years had infested the Santa
Fe trail. west from Council Grove. In
return for the kindness of the family
the man contided to them that a large
treasure of money and valuables was
hidden in a cave at the head of Turkey
creek. and that he alone knew of its To-
cation. Just before his death he made
an elaborate chart of the cave. show
ing just where the treasure was hid
den.
The man 10 whom the drawing was
given G at once to the head of Tur-
key creek, near where the town of
Hope now stands, and in company
with Jack Markley, who stills lives on
the creek, made a careful search, but
failed to find any cave. Five years
later a Michigan colony settled along
the Turkey creek valley. One day a
herder tracked a wolf to a cave at the
head of the creek hidden in a dense
growth of brush and vines. The Mich
gan people knew nothing Of the cave
story and MarkIey did not near of the
discovery of the cave. For % years the
spot has beer visited but seldom.
Recently the tract was bought by a
Henquet. who proceeded to prospect in
and around the cave for gypsum. 1t
was then that Jack Markley heard of
its discovery and recalled the treasure
| story.
Mr.. Henquet became interested and
he too made a trip to Morrison county
to look for the man with the drawing.
He had long since died. but his widow
was living,and told them thai the chart
was in the possession of a married
daughter. WIN lied in California.
Steps were at once taken TO secure it,
but it has not yet arrived. 1t is recall
ed that 30 years ago the hilly country
at the head of Turkey creek was the
rendezvous for a gang Of desperadoes
who terroriZed and plundered the set
tiers and travellers. Later on the gang
was broken up by the United States
troops. The cave has a small opening.
but widens to large dimensions and has
never been thoroughly explored. 1t is
being closely guarded until the plat ar
rives.

Judgment.
1t is said that each Of the seven men
is under from seven to % indictments
for alleged riot, treason, intimidation
of officers and various other charges
connected with the Bull hill difficulty.
Since their arrival in Mercur these
men have been orderly citizens, work
ing in the mines. but hat they have
made themselves extremely active in
the organization of the new union here.
This, it is said, has aroused the antag-
onism of mine owners, who would like
to see the Colorado men taken out of

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 29.-Five
men were convicted in the United

Missouri, and have been started on
their journey to the ~penitentiary at
LeavenwOrth. One of the convicts,
who is a mere boy. and whose sentence
is recorded in the name of Johnson,
was sentenced to only one years i'm
prisonment. Before the convicts left
here Mike Ryan, who seems to be a
leader of the gang, made 4 confession
In which he declared that he and the
convict named Elliot. and another man
who was shot dead by the officers who
captured the gang were the only ones
implicated in the robbery. All the 9TH
ers, he says, are innocent. He said:
This man Barnes goes up simply be-
cause Of his ugly mug. The boy John
o was convicted because he happen
ed to be with us at Cedar City. Pat
Clifford was convicted simply to make
1t a clean sweep. These three had
nothing to do with the robbery"

DEFENDS HIMSELF.
Says He Is Not a Bad Man Nor a
Butcher.

New York. March ga dispatch to
the World from Havana, says: Cap
tain General Weyler said late last
night:

the sober, practical nature of North
American people. I recognize that in
a countr y where the people constitute
the government. freedom of speech is
natural, even il carried to the extent
of license rather than Of liberty.
Il was surprised at some of the
speeches delivered in the senate re-
Gently, but l acquit nearly every dis
tinguished senator who employed
strong language against my country
and against myself of anything that
might be construed to be International
Misrepresentation. am confident
that their use of the language of de-
nunciation vas due to incorrect infor,

Senator Sherman would moi at the
close of his long career in the public
service, deliberately traduce . friendly
nation. neither would he, as a gentle,
man. Intentionally calumniate an indi-
vidual.
las regards myself, l care nothing
except that l do not wish he world at
large to believe me to be Il different
person from the one I really am. A
public man must expect criticism, and
a soldier must receive as well as give
blows. The assaults made On me per-
sonally were false, as l have read them.
The eminent senators who made them
had listened to false tongues and they
had perIsed false books. When SO
eminent a senator as Senator Sherman
states in the senate that the autono,
mist party of Cuba has only one repre-
sentative in the Spanish parliament, 1t
Is not strange that he should be delud-
ed by other equally incorrect intelli-
gence. With the disseminating of true
information, I believe the senators will
recognize their mistake.
Il certainly have no unkind feeling
in consequence of the attacks on my
self, but l do regret the unjustifable
affronts offered my country. Spain full
fills all her treaty obligations readily,
and goes further than to stand on the
letter of the international agreement.
American citizens in Spain, and es-
pecially in Cuba. obtain more privi-
leges than Spanish subjects, even
though many Of the so-called Ameri-
can citizens whom We recognize have
no moral right to the title.
THE fact is apparent that Spain is
acting in a most friendly manner to-
wards the North American republic.
1t is not strange that the S~paniards
should expect a similar spirit to be
displayed by the American people. In
ternational law is based on these cardI-
nal principles that should regulate the

rights on both sides should be respect

regarding the terms upon which an
American company will be permitted
to land a cable on the Hawaiian islands

minor stipulations were mentioned, in

In his forecasts of Wyoming weather
for his week, Foster says:
The changes in weather will occur

of the dates given below:
March 29-%Threatening.
March 30-Changeable.
March 3l-Cooler.
April Cool.
April 2-Moderating.

possible. Early fruits and vegetables
in northern states will probably suffer
from these frosts as the weather fol,
lowing March 81 will probably cause a
rapid development of buds and blooms.
Where it is possible these should be
covered in order to protect them, or
fires should be kindled. In most parts
of the southern states gardeners and
fruit growers understand the advan-
tages of fires to protect fruits and vege>
tables from frosts out in the north this
is but little understood.
Generally the first part OF April will
be warm, 18th to 14th cold and wet, 18th
to last of month warm and dry. This
forecast will not fit all sections but is
intended as a general average of he
whole country.
TIL local weather conditions are ex-
pected to be about as follows:
From the Ohio valleys, north to Hud-
sons bay and west to the Rockies the
temperature will average above, the
highest average being north of the ILL
nois and Arkansas rivers and the low-
est south of the Arkansas.
East Of the Mississippi and south Of
the Ohio the temperature will average
below.
North Atlantic states viii average
above in temperatures.
The Pacific slope will average below
normal temperatures, being most be-
low normal "a the sea coasts.
A very considerable drowth will pre-
vail in April principally in the last half
Of the month. in the Missouri and Ohio
valleys and all the country north Of
them and in the north Atlantic states.
In the Rocky mountains and on the
Pacific slope sufficient rains will fall:
also in northwest Texas and the arid
countries Immediately cast OF the

The remainder of the southern states
