BURIED TREASURE
A Thin Excuse for a Piratical
Cruise

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-A story
comes from Honolulu that has caused
much anxiety among the friends of the
sixteen young men who recently sailed
from this port on the schooner Sophia
Sutherland in search Of treasure on the
Solomon Islands. The trading master of
the little craft, now presumably cruis-
ing in the South Seas, is Captain Soren-
sen who, according to ex-Consul
Churchill of Apia, Samoa, has a black
record as pirate and despoiler of the
natives of the islands in the Central Pa
cific. When the Sophia Sutherland
reached Apia she was subjected to a
searching inquiry. during which Sor-
ensen was identified as the man who
had led similar misunderstanding ex-
pedition from Melbourne on the schoon-
er Albert, which he soon transformed
into a regular pirate. In 1884 he was
captured by the British man-of-war
Dart and sent to prison for ten years.
Since then he has not been heard from.
but now he Is in virtual command of a
company Of Californians who put faith
in his stories of the fabulous wealth Of
the Solomon Islands.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 25.-Sec-
retary Alger has finally taken the bull
by the horns in the matter of the San

including the San Francisco Examiner,
orders for the publication of the long,
delayed notices. General Alger, un-
able to find funds at the war depart
ment which can be spent in defraying
the expenses, has decided to pay for the
advertisements from his own purse.
Copies of the specifications, together
with orders to print them. have been
sent to San Francisco. Los Angeles,
Chicago and st. Louis, and the adver-
tisements are to be published immedi-
ately.
II fully appreciate the necessity Of
printing these advertisements and pro-
crossing with the work with all possible

"and have, therefore, reached the con-
clusion that the only immediate way out
Of the difficulty is to defray the expense
myself. The advertisements will not
cost very much, and shall rely on con-
gress, when it meets, to reimburse me.
"There will now be no reason why the
| whole affair should be further delayed,
and subsequent developments in the
matter will no doubt be made without
friction. I have sent a letter to M. M.
Estee of San Francisco explaining the
whole situation.
II think some of the criticisms that

The latter desire to secure funds to pay

tana Supreme Court from the case Of

demned to death for Hoovers murder.
Captain Stouch, agent of the Tongue

and that an innocent person has been
condemned. The association asks for
some action to stay proceedings and Sc
cure the appeal.
Secretary Bliss, however. had already
taken necessary steps for securing the
