Buried Pirate Treasure.

Frank r. Stockton, in the July st.
Nicholas, brings to a conclusion his series
OF articles on ''The Buccaneers and Pi-
rates of Our Coast Mr.. Stockton says:
In almost any rural settlement along
the coast of New Jersey or Long Island
some old resident would probably point
out to us the blackened and weather
beaten ribs of great ship which had been
wrecked on the sand bar off the coast
during terrible storm long ago; he would
show US where the bathing was pleasant
and safe; he would tell us of the best
place for fishing, and and perhaps show
us the high bluff little back from the
beach, from which the Indian maiden
leaped to escape the tomahawk of her
enemy, and then he would be almost sure
to tell us of the secluded spot where it
was said Captain Kidd and his pirates
once buried a lot of treasure
If we should ask why this treasure had
not been dug up, he would probably say
that if anybody did find it, they never said
anything about it; and it was his opinion
that if Captain Kidd ever put any gold OF
silver or precious stones under the
ground on that part of the coast that these
treasures Were all there yet. Many ex-
tensive excavations have been made along
the coasts Of our nothern States, and even
in quiet woods lying miles from the sea,
to which it would have been necessary for
the pirates to carry their goods in wagons,
people have dug and hoped and have gone
away sadly to attend to more sensible bus
mess. Far up some of our rivers-Nhere
pirate vessel never tloated-people have
dug with the same hopeful anxiety, and
have stopped digging in the same condi-
ton of disappointment Sometimes com

After all, the worst danger orr sold

After all, the worst danger our soldiers
| will encounter in Spain islands will come
from the Spaniards themselves: not in
open warfare, but through treachery. or
as prisoners. The Spanish prison system
is to-day more barbarous than that Of
Turkey or Russia. For a thousand wears
the Spaniards have made congenial study
of torture, and had ample practice in the
Inquisition. The long accumulation of
evil knowledge has been handed down
from generation to generation, and I'M
proved upon by each Until our blockade
put an end to such proceedings, patches
of Cuban suspects were every week for
warded to Spain. To be ''suspect'' is
equivalent to being guilty and those who
went never returned While torture has
been nominally abolished by the Spanish
government, there is no doubt the punish
ment of political prisoners is made as Sc
we're and long enduring as the ingenuity of
man can devise. Infinitely happier is he
who, proved guilty of treason, is garroted
at once. Heaven knows that hanging.
that disgrace to our civilization is bad
enough; but the garrote is worse In
Spain such executions are always in pub
lie. and the lower Spanish element look
upon them as excellent entertainment.
trife better than the bull fight. The pris-
oner is brought to the scene of his death
on donkey back, where he mounts the
scaffold and is manacled TO a chair Then
a black handkerchief is tied over his face
and the iron collar adjusted At the first
turn OF the thumbscrew, in the hands of
a powerful eXecutioner, you hear bones
crack and see the wretch struggling horri-
bly, in his bonds. At the second turn.
which is generally delayed, the flesh is
crushed to jelly, the head nearly severed
from the body, and the scaffold is drench-
ed with blood.
The majority of offending Cubans have
been sent to Ceuta, Africa. 1t is an old
Moorish seaport in Morocco, opposite
Gibralter. The Moors built it, about the
year 945, and in no other one place on
earth are SO many devices of torture con-
centrated 1t is surrounded by chain of
ancient and decaying fortresses, and under
these are the dungeons-hewn out of solid
rock in tiers, to depth of so feet.
The approach to them is through mar
row openings in the stone floors and when
the horrible hole is uncovered, the filth and
decomposition of centuries sends up over
powering odors. When a man is to be
placed in solitary confinement, a hole is
cut in the masonry, large enough to adj
init his body, and he is dropped in it. \
blacksmith follows to weld his fe tiers
| Locks and keys are never used. A heavy
weight, with a chain, is welded to the
ankle and an iron band is welded around
the waist. \ chain attached to the latter
is welded to an iron ring sunk in the wall

is bricked up again, except small space

Through this aperture comes the scant
