Particulars of the capture of the Ilioilo by

General NJ. D. Miller, on Saturday last.
have been received here.
On the morning of Friday, February 10.
General Miller sent an ultimatum to the
commander of the rebels on shore, noti-
flying him that it was his intention to
take Iloifo. by force if necessary. Nom
combatants and foreigners were warned
to leave the town within twenty-four
hours. The rebels were also warned that
they must make no further belligerent
preparations.
The gunboat Petrol was then nezed to
a position in shore, and near the rebel
fort, while the cruiser Boston took up her
station at the other end of the town.
Friday passed quietly During the day
many refugees left the town of lloilo, the
majority of whom were taken on board
foreign ships lying in the harbor.
Searchflights from the United States
warships were kept all night long illu-
minating the town and its defenses. The
rebels, so far as the lookouts on the ships
could discover, remained quiescens
throughout the night.
"A
urday, February IL, the gunboat Petrol
signalled to the cruiser Boston that the
rebels were working in their trenches.
In return the Petrol was ordered to fire
warming shots upon the town from her
three Founders.
This was done and the rebels replied
with a harmless fusillade. The Boston
and the Petrol then bombarded the rebels

OLD GOLD COINS
Found in a River-Ancient Trea-
sure Pumped Up by a Dredge.
Believed TO Come from a Wrecked
Vessel.

PHILADELPHIA, September 26.-
More than two bushels of gold and sill
yer treasure were pumped up from
the Delaware River at the foot Of Bull
son street, Camden, to-day by a
dredger
The news was noised abroad by
some of the workmen that strange
shiny things had been coming through
the big pipe, and on being rescued
from the mud and slime they proved
to be gold and silver Spanish and
English coins.
1t was not long until the gates OF
the shipyard were beseiged with men
and boys. They rushed pell-mell to
the "diggings,' and, drawing on high
rubber boots, the search for treasure
trove commenced. Soon several men
had stuffed their pockets with coin,
and called upon the women who were
watching the work to aid in holding
it.
The coins were mostly English and
Spanish, of dates ranging from the
early fifteenth century to late into
the eighteenth. Some had their in
scription entirely effaced, while others
were remarkably we'll preserved.
The gold and silver treasure, all
told, amounted to over two bushels,
which was variously divided among
the seekers. Some were more 1ortu-
nate than others, and went away with
quite large stock of antique curlos.
Those who have looked into history
say that during pre-RevolutionaTy
days an English vessel loaded with
Spanish plumber was anchored IN the
bay. 1t was fired, they say, one dark
night, all on board perishing, and the
knowledge of the treasure being lost.

DICK TURPIN'S EQUAL.


Lewis Houck Who Fleeced Noblemen is
Dead-He Originated Three-Card Monte.
Beat the Prince of Wales.
COLUMBUS, o., September 26.-Lew
Houck, one of the smoothest crooks in
the country, and the originator of the
three-card monte game, is dead All
the heads of the police departments in
the country knew him, and the detec-
tives had his picture indelibly impress
ed upon their brains.
While years have passed since Lew
Houck lived in this city, his wife, whose
maiden name was Mead, has been living
quietly near Garfield avenue, and to-
day received a telegram that gave the
news of her husbands death. He drop
ped dead, probably from heart disease,
for some time.
In 1883 he killed Paul Lehman in a
quarrel, resulting from Houcks having
fieeced Lehman at Delaware. He served
seven years of sixteen-year sentence
for this, and was pardoned, three ex-
Governors signing his petition for re-
lease from the Ohio penitentiary. On
a visit here three years ago he showed
letters, which were genuine, from Sec
rotary of the Treasury Carlisle highly
recommending the card sharp to Amer
lean representatives abroad, and to the
friends of the visitors. How he got
these letters was mystery.
Houck had beaten the Prince of
Wales at baccarat, skinned dukes out
CT their pocket money, and relieved
more foreign noblemen of their loose
wealth than any highway robber since
Turpin's day. He went to Mexico few
weeks ago, ostensibly as the agent of
an American manufacturer.
