CARLOTTA'S ROYAL JEWELS.


st. Louis Globe-Democrat Special
DALLAS Tex, Nov. 1s.-Gen. Rudolph
Gunner. soldier. newspaper man and globe
trotter. denounced as fake the story
sent out from New York to the effect that
two Mexicans had been captured by the
revenue officers with the jewels of the late
Queen Carlotta of Mexico in their posses
sion.
General Gunner was Maxmilian's friend
and most trusted officer. He came TO
Mexico from Austria with that Inflated
monarch, and was with him to the day Of
his death. In an interview to-day he said:
II knew at once that 1T was a fake. as
no jewels were left in Mexico when Car
lotta sailed for Europe, but l suspected
that possibly the gay Lothario on the Bel
gian throne might have put some of Car
lottas big diamonds in circulation among
the Parisienne demi-monde when in Paris
on his customary escapades. 1t was not
so. however, and l did the monarch an In
justice.
"Carlotta's most valuable jewels were
mostly heirlooms and wedding presents
from her royal relatives in Europe A
necklace of great pearls was from Max
milan himself, and he added every year,
on the anniversary of the wedding, new
pearl of rare beauty TO IL. Jeweler Rothe,
of Vienna, had a standing order to hunt
for the finest pearl on the market every
year. Nine pearls were added to the orig
one side and insanity on the other stopped
further collections and all conjugal hap
piness.
"The great collection of diamonds was
chiefly represented by the riviere, a string
of eighty large diamonds, which could be
used at will and screwed to diadem or ear
rings etc. 1t vas a present from her
mother, Queen Louise of Belgium a
daughter of King Louis Philip of France

when ii was moved from and to the vaults
in the palace. and one of my duties as
commander of the palace consisted i'm the
inspection of sentinels posted outside and
inside of the treasury room, close to the
guard room, at the main entrance to the
palace.
when Carlotta left for Europe in June,
1866, on an errand to Napoleon III and the
Pope. which terminated in her insanity,
Treasurer H. de Kubacevich had the care

ii is stated that the diamond necklace is
from MaximilianS crown worn in 1860
Macmillan came to Mexico in June 1864
and had never used or possessed a crown.
This is fact.
Further. the dispatch says: "A diamond
ring belonged to Macmillan when he was
shot Macmillan never wore a diamond
ring in his life. He wore constantly on
his left hand two rings. One, a small ring
from his mother, the Archduchess Sophie
When excited he turned the ring with his
right hand slower and slower until he
grew quiet. He told me once that the
thoughts of his mother absorbed all other
thoughts and made him always happy"

Panama Menaced by Colombian In
surrectionarfcs-Yel Fever.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Nov. 1s.-The Brit
ish steamer Atrato, Capt. Copp. which left
Southampton Oct II for Barbados, arrived
here to-day from Colon, Colombia Cap
tain Copp reports that the insurgents had
gained several important victories during
the fortnight that preceded his departure,
and that when he left Colon they were
marching in force against Panama, where
the stores had been closed in momentary
expectation of an attack.
He says the three-masted schooner Marie
Isabelle was ordered to leave Colon Thurs
day, because she had a cargo of gun
powder, which the Colombian authorities
believed was intended for the rebels. al
though il was consigned to a neighboring
Republic.
1t appears also from Captain Copp's
statement that business in Colombia is
generally at a standstill, that exchange
is now at 100 and that the military diff
ficulties of the situation are complicated
by an outbreak of yellow fever, rapidly ap-
preaching the proportions of an epidemic
at Port Limon and Bocas del Zorro.
