SUNKEN TREASURE.
Another Attempt to Raise the sIoop
De Braak.

Philadelphia, Dec. 27-An attempt is
to again be made to locate the sunken
British sloOp of war, De Braak, which
lies of the Delaware breakwater, and
bring TO the surface some, if not all, Of
the vast amount OF treasure that. &C
cOrding to tradition. is confined within
the hulk of this old craft. It is stated
that the methods and appliances that
Will be used are entirely new.
This is by no means the first attempt
that has been made TO raise De Braak
The history of De Braak is an inter
esting one. It was a British slOOp Of
war captured from the Dutch. and
like all vessels of its time, was built
of oak and teak. The British govern
ment came into possession of il in 1781
and Captain James Drew, who is bur
led in Lewes. Del was made its COM
mander. Shortly before it foundered in
a squat off the Delaware. il captured a
Spanish ship from the mines. Soon at
reTWard, according 10 report. il over
hauled the St Francis Xavier and
transferred much precious metal TO its
own hold While making for Cape Hen
lOpen for fresh water it went down in
a sudden sQuau. Some of its crew Is
capped, but the majority perished- Re
ports then became frequent of the ex-
1stence of treasure. and ever since then
the locality where il went down has
been pointed TO as one beneath which
is buried a, vast amount of treasure.

SAMOAN ISLANDS.
No Arrangement Made for Transfer
Of Title to Germany.

No Arrangement Made for Transfer
Of Title to Germany.
WASHINGTON, Dec 12-The Gov
ernment is not aware that any arrange
ment has been made for the transfer for
title of the Samoan Islands to Ger
many, and being one of the parties to
the tripartite agreement under which
Samoa is now governed, it is not con-
ceivable that any change can be made
in the status without the consent of the
United States
The European publication intimating
that Germany had acquired sole rights
in the Samoan group is recognized as a
diplomatic feeler, being another of the
attempts which have been made at in
tervals Of three months for the past
two or three years to ascertain how a
change in the established order as to
Samoa would be received in the United
States.
The workings Of the tripartite agree
ment, it is frankly acknowledged, have
not been entirely satisfactory to any,
one Of the three parties, the United
States, Great Britain and Germany, but
our Government sees no feasible meth
cd yet of bringing about a more desir-
able arrangement. This being the case,
and the Importance of the islands as a
port of call for American shipping,
promising to become greatly increased
in the event of an opening of an 18TH
mian canal, the Government of the
United States will not consent to relin-
quish any Of its rights

Senator Davis, a Member Of the
Paris Peace Commission,
An Advocate Of a Triple Alliance Between
the Three Nations.
Declares That American and
British Interests in the Far
East Run Parallel, and That,
Therefore, the Two Countries
Should Act Jointly.

LONDON, Dec 13.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail" summar-
ICES this morning an interview he had
with United States Senator Cushman
K. Davis of the Peace Commission,
who advocates a triple alliance between
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan.
The correspondent says: ''Mr Davis
declared that American and British in
terests in the Far East run quite par.
allel, and that therefore the two Powers
should act jointly. L am not appealing
to sentiment, he said, though blood is
thicker than water, and this argument
should not be ignored. My theory in
favor of cooperation is borne out by
the coldest logic. 1 favor a treaty of
alliance, including the United States,
Great Britain and Japan, for the pro-
lection of all their interests north Of the
equator. The rest of the world would
have wholesome fear, synonymous Of
respect for u.s.
He proceeded to argue that Russia,
Germany and France had secured the
great bulk of the commercial benefits
in China, to the exclusion of both the
United States and England. He sug-,
gested that such a dreibund could have
nothing to fear from any coalition of
other nations, and that therefore it
would tend to preserve the peace.
so far as the Philippines are con-
cerned, said Mr.. Davis there will be-
an open door, but not free trade. Our
protection policy will be applied, with
out favoring any nation, and the local
needs of our new Territories will be
considered
