critics by the United States were given
out in full at the war department last

One of the principal reasons for max

conducted, and no political capital can
be made out of the situation.

beyond all dispute that the Spanish
monkish orders, if permitted to re-
main in the archipelago. would ir1ter-

GOLD
Unearthed Near New
PhiIad eiphia by Man
Digging a Cellar.

A story of a "pot of gold" unearthed
by workmen in the cellar of an old
homestead now passed into the hands
of strangers has been going the rounds
at New Philadelphia the past few days
and this is the story as told by the
Ohio Democrat and Times:
A man who claimed to be an en-
ploye of the rolling mills in this city
came up on late car Sunday evening
and in conversation with Conductor
Rutledge who doesn't know and has
not since been able to learn the mans
name, said he and his wife were re-
turning from spending a day with his
brother-in-law and family residing on
the old Blickensderfer farm above
Tuscarawas. He said his relative was
digging the old cellar deeper and
about o'clock Saturday afternoon
struck something which proved to be
a small metal pot. When the ve:sal
was taken out and opened it was well
filled with gold and silver money,
$4,000 in gold of the mintage Of 1876
and 800 in silver.
To impress Mr.. Rutledge with the
truth of his story, doubtless. the man
showed IS gold piece which he said
the lucky relative had given as a pres
ent to his wife before they left for
home. The man who appeared hon
est and earnest in relating the story
claimed to have helped the finder
count the money that day. Mrs.
Charles Bartles. of this city. owns the
Blickensderfer homestead one mile
north of Tuscarawas, the property
having come to her by Inheritance
being her portion of the property Of
her father, the late Simon Dickens
