VALUABLE TREASURES
SEIZED BY OFFICIALS

New York, June ao-Treasures Of
the Orient, contained in forty-seven
cases, have been found secreted on the
British steamship Indrawadi BY treas
iiry agents. The seizure is valued at
more than $4,000 and is the largest of
the kind ever made in this port Be-
sides bolts Of silk, there were many
cases containing Chinese antiquities
and curios which we're taken from the
palaces and the temples at the time Of
the occupancy Of Chinese territory by
foreign troops. &
The officers Of the ship expressed
surprise that such things could have
come aboard without their knowledge,
and they expressed their Willingness to
aid in the capture of the guilty persons.
Nobody on the ship would claim a sin
gle thing, so no arrests were made. The
goods were held for a time and then
sold at public auction. U
