that the dowager Empress Frederick

her long vigil by the side of her hus

The cause of cancerous affections, de-
clares a great authority, has been the
subject of investigation for many,
many years, but seems to be yelled in
as much obscurity as ever. The older

from hereditary faint Applying the
deductions from these congratulations

off the west coast of Cuba; all around
the Isle of Pines are sunken wrecks of
galleons containing at the time they
were lost from 800, 900 to 81. 900, 900 each.
Twelve tons of silver were being car
ried as ballast from the mines of PotOSi
to Spain when one stormy night the
galleon was captured by buccaneers,
who threw overheard the crew and also
the silver bars, which they took for
some baser metal. This was in 1879,
or sixteen years before Sir William
Phjpps, the New England Yankee, re-
covered thirty-two tons of silver and a
large fortune in gems from a sunken
galleon off the north coast of Santo Do
mingo. And he found but one of a fleet
of five or six all of which were carried
down in a hurricane.
On the south coast of the same is
land, in locality over which the writer
of this article has himself sailed, lies
the galleon in which Governor Bobadil-
la took passage for Spain in the year

with all on board, while containing in
it's treasure tank the largest nugget of
gold ever found in America.

the Pacific coast, it would be found

of having concealed millions in treas
ure of various sorts, and it may be re-
marked in this connection that there
have been more seekers for it by far
than there were pirates originally. One
of the most prominent of those gentle
men of the sea who found it more con-
venient to take by force what they want
ed than to earn it honestly was the re-
noWned Captain Kidd. Indeed, he is to
many the typical pirate because the
most frequently held up to reprobation,
though there are some who declare that
he died a victim to malice and was in
nocent of the crimes imputed to him.
However that may be. Captain Kidd
made the mistake of operating too bold
~ and too near our coast and was cut
off in the midst of most promising ca
reer. After cruising in various seas he
returned to the vicinity of New York
and buried a portion of his hard earned
wealth on Gardeners island near the
east end of Long Island. This is known
because after his arrest. which soon
followed, the treasure was dug I'D and
found to consist of bags of gold dust
gold coins. silver buttons and lamDs
gold bars, broken silver crystals car
nelians and precious stones to the value
of more than $4,000. The chest contain
ing this treasure was found and its
contents were confscated. But this was
not all of Kidd's wealth. for a portion of
it was probably concealed in Santo Do
mingo and still another in Delaware
bay. 1t is this uncovered portion.
