nil L IONS OF TREASURE NEAR CUBA
Tons OF Gold and Precious Jewels Lie Heaped On the Sub
merged Rocks OF the Island.

Our new Islands in the West Indies
furnish one opportunity for Yankee
speculative genius that has been curl
ously overlooked. On the submerged
rocks and reefs, and in the dangerous
passages around Cuba and Puerto Rico
lie untold weaIth-millions of dollars in
colo coin, silver bars and jewels. In
the past, SPANS rapacious rule has
prevented the recovery OF much of
this treasure, although several men
have been made millionaires by the
findings OF divers in Cuban waters.
During the early years of SPANS rule
in the new world, hundreds of galleonS
sailed yearly from Mexico and the
shores of South America for Spain,
stopping at the ports of Cuba and pass
ing out into the Atlantic through the
Windward passage. For more than a
century there was a close rivalry be-
tween the buccaneers and the hurri-
canes to see which could sink the
greater number of these treasure
fleets. In many cases. the location of
the wrecks is now definitely known,
while in many others the records at
Madrid and at Havana show the loca-
ton only approximately. West Indian
waters outside of the harbors are ex-
ceedingly clear, so that il is often
times possible to see to the depth Of
eighteen or twenty feet, making it easy
for divers to make the necessary ex-
ploration. Indeed, with some of the
recently-invented submarine boats
such a boat, for instance, as Simon
Lakes Argonaut, which crawls on the
bottom OF the seat would be COM

had gone down in a storm just east OF
Key West. The silver bars, as they
were brought TO the surface by divers
were stored in a little fort on the main
land to await the GuardacoSta, which
was carrying the treasure in INSTALL
mentS to Havana. Vane learned Of this
and made q sudden descent upon the
fort, captured the treasure, rowed out
to the vessel where the divers were at
work. captured the ship. and sailed
away, leaving the destitute crew and
divers rnarooned on the barren key. The
plate-leet of five galleons, on which
these divers were working, was carry
ing $4,000, coo in bullion when it was
wrecked, and less than one-fourth was
recovered and captured by Vane. The
old records estimate that $3,OOO.000 still
remains in TIE sea at this point.

tending that it is only another incident

cUBANs ARE PEAcEABLE.
London Times Correspondent De-
scribes Conditions On the Island.

Mexico City, Jan. 15.-Charies Akers,
correspondent Of the London Times in
Cuba, is here He did, perhaps, more
work than any other correspondent to
expose the cruelty and incapacity of
General Weyler, and made himself
heartily disliked by that official, but
remained in Cuba and kept the English
public informed of the true state OF
things. He praises highly the conduct
Of the American regular troops during
the Cuban campaign. He says the Gu
bans are, in the main. peaceable, and
there is no danger OF a conflict between
them and the American authorities,
provided the latter show the necessary
tact. The Cuban generals have been
busily engaged in disbanding their
forces and are aiding in the worok of
reconstruction in perfect good faith.
He sees no reason why the Cubans
should not form a government of their
own, but, of course, they would always
be more or less under the protection of
the United States. He denied that there
was the slightest truth in the pretend
ed revelation from Havana. regarding
the blowing up of the Maine.
Mr.. AkerS says that by the end of
January there will be from $50 to 200
central sugar factories in operation in
Cuba. 1t is estimated that the sugar
crop should be from 100000 to 100000
tons, as preparations are already being
made for planting increased areas next
June and July Thus it will be seen
that the resources of the island are

Havana, Jan. 15.-This morning a
Spanish flag, having been raised over
q hotel on the Cabada del Monte, a
crowd of Cubans gathered and began
TO throw stones at it. Company b,
Tenth regular infantry, was called and
proceeded to the scene OF disturbance
at doable-quick, and with fixed bay
onets. speedily dispersed the crowd,
which was fast becoming ugly.
The officer in command explained TO
the proprietor that the flag ought to
be lowered, because 1t was likely TO
produce further disorder. The proprie-
tor, in reply, assured the officer that
no offense had been intended, and that,
having seen the English and German
flags flying, he thought he would be at
liberty TO raise the flag Of Spain. Two
members of the company lowered the
flag.

At Marianao today, at the house Of

meeting was held, at which a number

pressed at the acceptance by General

that Menocal and the others had prac-
tically abandoned the Cuban army,
leaving their comrades with less infiu-
ence to shift for themselves.

CUSTOMS AT HAVANA.
All Subordinate Places to Be Filled
By Cuhans.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Assistant Sec
rotary Of War Meiklejohn gave out to-
day a synopsis of a report recently
made by the collector of customs at
Havana, Colonel Taskar H. Bliss. Colo
mel Bliss writes that the operations at
the customs house at Havana are pro-
ceeding very smoothly, considering all
of the conditions under which he has to
work. On the day following his install
lation q number Of employees vacated
their positions. Some Of them We're
Spaniards returning to their own coun-
try, or were employees, who, under the
Spanish law, had become entitled to q
retiring pension. Had this class re-
manned in the service, their pensions
would have been jeOpardized. Others
LETT for reasons best known TO them
selves. At present Colonel Bliss is
carefully readjusting his force, placing
Americans only on guard where q gen.
erSl supervision over the whole force
is necessary.
Colonel Bliss says that in his opinion
the customs service of the island
should be not only an object lesson,
but q SchOel Of instruction for the ma
tives. II can, he says, be made an
object lesson, by having no one except
Americans in the service. But it can
be made a school for instruction only
by having the natives for the great
mass OF employees, with only enough
Americans to see that their work is
faithfully and honestly done Colonel
Bliss announces that in addition to the
weekly reports required from such
collectors by the executive order of
Dec. 9, he proposes to institute a sys-
TEN Of daily reports, showing all
money received. He thinks he can
keep the war department daily in
formed as to the revenues of the
island at a trifiing expense.
Colonel Bliss found on hand when
he took possession Of the customs house
at Havana only $780, resulting from
special tax which was laid upon load
ing and unloading vessels under the
Spanish regime. His collections on the
first day amounted in cash to 81, 522 q.
The second day they rose to So, 900 SO.

COTTON Velvet DECISION
Blow to the High Protective Tariff
Manufacturers.

Blow to the High Protective Tariff
Manufacturers.
London, Jan. 1.-THE Berlin CORE
spondent of the Times says: The
Cologne Gazette, commenting upon the
decision of the United States supreme
court regarding cotton velvet, says the
rule will of course be applied to all
German manufactures, 50 that it will
be useless in the future for a German
manufacturer TO produce his goods in
bond with a view of saving the duty
on raw material. The article con-
cludes:
ITO put it briefly, imports to America
are forbidden and the export trade is
destroyed, at least for countries which,
like Germany and France, must pay
considerable duties upon the raw ma
terial they import"
For q country which, like England
does not impose a. duty upon raw ma
terial, the decision, in the opinion of
the Cologne Gazette, cannot be regard
ed as bad news, inasmuch as, for once,
extreme protection would seem to have
done free trade good turn in the
course of the internecine war of pro-
tectionist countries"
