READS LIKE A NOVEL.
An Echo of the Civil War and a
Buried Treasure,

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 5-Judge Berry
man Green returned tonight from Dan
vile, bringing with him a clew to a
buried fortune and the sequel to the story
Of a remarkable lawsuit of the recon-
struction period. The story is romantic
affects some of the most prominent families
in Danville and involves a treasure of $1,000
buried during the war by a Federal soldier
now living in Ohio, who offers to come and
search it out if he is insured against pros
ecution for having taken the money.
Near the close of the war, when the
Federal forces were overruning Danville.
the directors of a bank there divided out
the gold amounting to 5000 each, among
themselves for safekeeping the idea being
that in this way most, if not all, of the
assets of the bank could be saved.
After the the directors held meet
ing and each one produced the 5000 in
gold except Mr. Waddill. who stated that
he took his 5000 home and that Fed
eral soldier entered his house. and, after
severely choking him and threatening his
life, succeeded in getting the money. Wad-
dills statement was verified by his wife
in every particular.
The bank sued for the money and long
suited in Mr.. Waddill being declared by the
Supreme Court of Appeals not responsible
Mr.. Waddill was represented by Bergman
Green and George G. Cabell The bank was
represented by an equally strong array of
counsel. All the parties to the litigation
are now dead except Judge Green.
Just as Judge Green was about to take
the train at Danville to-day the post
master came running TO him, bringing a
letter he had received from Ohio. The
writer states that he was Federal soldier
and while in Danville, just before the end
of the war, he had gone into a mans
house and secured 5000 in gold; that being
pressed for time he buried the gold and
was hurried off with his regiment before he
was able to return and unearth it. He says
he has map of the location and will re-
turn to Danville and secure the gold and
return il to the owner if he is guaranteed
protection from arrest or prosecution by
the authorities of Virginia.
He offers, If this is done, to come to
Danville, locate the money and deliver it
to the proper owners, provided that out of
the amount his expenses will be paid.
Another interesting phase Of the case is
that Major Sutherlin, long since dead. and
father-in-iaw of Col. Francis l.. Smith, Of
Alexandria. bought up all the assets of the
Bank OF Danville. and If the money is re-
covered il will be declared assets, and Will
go to Mrs. Smith as heir of her father.

ported resolutions disappearing the action
OF the recent reciprocity convention in
Washington as detriment to the business
interests OF this country. These resolu-
lions were tabled for future action. In its
declaration the committee said:
whereas, The national reciprocity con-
vention, in its recent session in Washing
ton. ID. c., adopted a resolution recon-
mending reciprocity through tariff modi-
fications only where it can be done without
injury TO any of our home interests of
manufacturing commerce or farming. there
by rendering any application of reciprocal
tariff concession impracticable; and
Whereas. The national reciprocity con-
vention, in a second resolution recon-
mended the establishment of new COM
mission TO which shall be referred the con-
slderation and negotiation OF all reciprocal
trade agreements, thereby multiplying and
disregarding the valuable and beneficial
work successfully accomplished by the
present commissioner plenipotentiary In the
negotiation OF important treaties OF com
mercial reciprocity with large number or

trade OF these countries would De thrown
open 10 us; therefore, be 1t
Resolved. That the chamber expresses

all attempts TO bring about closer trade
relations with our sister nations and TO

CUBANS HAVE NO IDEALS
SUCH IS THE VIEW OF REV. w. DUD-
LEY POWERS, A MISSIONARY,
Who Also Says the. Priest Is the Most
COnspicuousIy immoral Man
i'm the Island.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The missionary
conference of the Protestant Episcopal
Church was continued to-day. This after
noon the missionary exhibit in the parish
house at St. Paurs Church was thrown
open to the public and many gathered in st.
Pauls to listen to the addresses Of three
prominent church missionaries.
Rev. w. Dudley Powers, of Cuba, was the
first speaker. After declaring that the peo-
pie of Cuba have no ideals, are not spurred
on by any ambitions,sare animated by no
inspirations and look forward to no future.
Mr.. Powers said: However, there are in
dications of reaction, and a violent re-
action at that. 1 do not wish to commence
TRADE against any church, but the truth
may as we'll be known. The reaction setting
in is against the Catholic Church. One
third of the population have no ecclesias-
teal connections; neither are they in
structed in the truth Among them the
priest is conspicuously the most immoral
man. A really good priest cannot be found.
When 200 of these sailed away from the
country, a naval officer was heard to NUT
ter: Thank God When he was told that
others would take their places he replied {:
None so bad as these can come. After
declaring that now there is a disposition TO
receive the truth throughout the island and
other encouraging conditions prevail, MI.
Powers said the people of Cuba to-day are
not so much immoral as immoral" They
have lost the ability to distinguish right
from wrong.

Ports Closed by Chanee.

MANILA, Dec. 5.-General Chaffee has
issued orders for the closing OF all ports
in the Laguna and Batangas provinces.
The quartermasters there will cease pay
ing rents TO the Filipinos for buildings used
for military purposes, as 1t is known that a
large proportion Of the money finds it's way
TO the insurgents in the shape of contribu-
tons, and General Chaffee intends that no
more government funds shall find their
way into the hands of the enemy. The rea-
son for closing the ports is that too many
supplies are found to be getting into the
possession of the insurgents.
General Chaffee intends giving Bell, COM
handing the troops in the Batangas prov
ince, every assistance he may require to
subdue the insurrection. Governor Taft is
improving rapidly and now expects to re-
turn to the United States on the govern
ment transport Grant, which will sail be-
fore Christmas.
