BlANco SOUGHT SUNKEN GOLD.
A Hunt For Treasure Lost on the FrigatC
SOberanO In 1869.

Mysterious movements among the
Spanish vessels in Havana Harbor at
night for weeks before the evacuation
finally attracted public attention, and
it ia now explained that force OF
skilled marine divers, in charge of a
brother OF the inventor of the Peral,
were actively at work vainly en-
deavoring to recover certain treas
ure that is said to be buried
deep in the mud of the bay,
the very existence of which had until
quite recently been forgotten Its
value, so it is said, runs up into the
millions of dounloons, and it has lain
hidden in the wreckage of Spanish
warship sunk by British shells whilst
the English were besieging the city in
1862.
This treasure ship was the Sober
auo, of seventy guns, aboard of which,
as the flagship of the local Spanish
Admiral, all the Kings treasure,
church funds, and much private
wealth, precious jewels and money,
were loaded shortly after the siege be-
gan. The Soberano, in attempting to
force its way out of port, was struck
by shell from one OF the blockading
squadron outside and blown up in the
inner channel at point nearly oppo-
site the present custom-house.
Should this long-lost treasure be
recovered it will be used, Spanish
officers say, to pay off Blanco's troops
and defray their expenses home to
Spain.
The Bishop of Havana is accredited
with having called the Captain Gen
erals attention to an old chart in the
musty archives of the Government in
Havana, examination of which con-
WINGED Blanco that the treasure was
80 great as to merit serious attempt
to recover it before the Spanish flag
was hauled down.
