WILL SEARCH FOR TREASURE.
New Century VIII Witness Efforts to
Regain Millions from
the Sea.

Several efforts to recover treasure
from the bottom of the sea will signal
ize the opening of the new century. Of
these the most important are under
the auspices of Lloyds. off the coast
of Holland, and the other under the
direction of the duke of Argyll, on the
coast of Scotland.
In the former case the treasure
amounts to $S.OOO,COO in bar gold, sunk
in her majesty's ship Lutine, in 1899
The Netherlands claimed the wreck,
owing to it being just within the three
mile limit of the Dutch coast. But,
after much legal controversy and ne
gotiation. which has extended over the
greater part of the century now just
drawn to a close, the Netherlands gov
eminent has given its consent to
Lloyds taking the necessary steps to
recover the treasure. which was origi,
nally shipped for the purpose of pre-
senting the necessary supplies to the
continental governments in the strug-
gle against the first Napoleon. The
wreck has been located and the treas
ure is accessible.
The other treasure has lain con-
cealed by the deep for several hundreds
of years. dating back to the time of
the Spanish armada. The craft con-
tanning the treasure bore the name of
Admiral Florence and now lies in Loeb
Duan, in rela lively shallow water.
The duke of Argyll has a map show
ing exactly where it lies, and about 100
years ago one of his ancestors en-
ployed man with diving bell to be-
gin operations. The diver succeeded
in recovering some cannon. but sus-
pended operations on the government
notifying him that anything recovered
was the property of the crown, in
spite of the fact that the water and
shore rights at the point where the
ship lies are the property of the duke
of Argyll.

INSPECTOR GENERAL BRECKIN-
RIDGE FILES REPORT.
ARMY MEN IN CIVIL AFFAIRS
Post Exchanges Being Oper:tei at
Financial Loss Since the Anti :.
Canteen Law Went Into
Effect.
{ BY Associated Press.l

Washington, Oct. S1.-The annual re-
port of Inspector General w. c. Breck-
inridge says that while there are reports
of harmony and good will among the
officers of the army. the expression ''all
officers are thoroughly instructed and
efficient" is NOT heard so frequently as
befores tle Spanish war; due, 10 doubt,
to ans ilh,ix of inexperienced officers.
Most reports. however, are favorable.
Some Jack Of attention given by Off
GERS to their daily life and duties is
noted.
The report commends the sagacity ana
ability OF officers who have conducted
civil affairs intrusted to them abroad
The class of recruits received is re-
ported generally up to the standard.
The discipline of the troops is reported
generally good.
Effect Of Anti-Canteen Law.
OF the post exchange the inspector
general says:
The reports show that wherever prac-
teal post exchanges were in operation
at the garrison in which posts at the
time of the inspectors visit the pre-
scribed rules and regulations were being
fully complied with and their business
was being satisfactorily conducted.
"a majority of the posts where post
exchanges are maintained We're inspect
ed before the law prohibiting the sale
of beer in the canteens was enacted and
most of the reports would not show the
effect Of that law under them.
AT some of the posts inspected it was
reported that the exchange was closed
or was being operated at loss since
the sale of beer was prohibited, while
at others the operations under the exist
ing law were reported to be unsatisfac-
