Washington, Nov. 11.-Great Britain
and Mexico already have indicated
their Willingness to participate in an
other peace conference, so that the an
nouncement of Denmark's intention to
do so will make three of the nations
of the world enrolled in favor of Pres
ident Roosevelt's proposition. Mexico
and Great Britain. however, have ac-
cepted only in principle, leaving the
question of date and programme for
the meeting open so that the time for
another conference remains quite in
definite.
The arbitration treaty with Dem
mark, announcement of which is made
in the Copenhagen dispatch, will fol-
low the lines of that already signed
with France and other countries. A
similar treaty negotiated with Swift

covery OF the gold. He was to get
one-fourth Of what he found. and Mr..
Harrington, who was her an expert
diver, was employed to search the
depths for the coin.
He had read all about how the HUI.
Ear looked when with the Mercury
she arrived in New York under con-
voy OF several war ships. Both the
\ Huzzar and the Mercury were well
provided with offensive and defensive
weapons, but Paul Jones was abroad
on the seas at that time, and a strong
convoy was thought to be an absolute
necessity.
The Huzzar was 206 feet in length.
Her beam measurement was IS feet
and she carried 80 guns.
On the arrival OF the feet the treas
moved to the Huzzar, the whole of
the money being intrusted to that
ship. With it she started for New
London, then the British rendezvous.
Instead of taking the. safer, though
longer route to the south Of Long
Island, she essayed the northern one,
and incurred the peril of He'll Gate.
Nov. rs, two days after her arrival
in port, she attempted the then un-
canny passage after taking on board
from one of the British prison ships
seventy American prisoners of war.
Whether they were to be exchanged
for British prisoners held by the
Americans or merely transferred
from one place of confinement to
another Is not known. The prisoners.
heavily ironed, were secured on the
gun deck of the Huzzar. and were not
released when she was sinking.
When almost through the turmoil

heavily and began to fill. All attempts
to stop the leak were unavailing.
Three-quarters OF a mile from where

Papago Version Of Football.

The boys OF the Papag0 tribe in the
southwest have a game which the
fellows in Harvard and Yale would
form rnles about. II the played it, un.
Til IL became very lively indeed.
These Indian boys make dumbells
OF woven buckskin or rawhide. They
weave them tight and stiff, and then
soak them in a sort of red mud which
sticks like paint. They dry them, and
then the queer toys are ready for use.
To play the game, they mark of
goals, one for each band or side" of
players. The object OF each side Is h
send its dumbbells over the goal OF
the enemy.
The dumbbells are tossed with sticks
that are thrust under them as they lie
on the ground. The perverse things
will not go straight or far. and a rod
Is a pretty good throw for one.
The sport quickly grows exciting,
and the players are soon battling in a
heap, almost as II they were playing at
football.-St. Nicholas.

A bronze gun sent up by divers was
purchased by the British government
for $1,000. Ii is said that one day a
diver brought up a brass box, all
green and moldy, which contain
ed pearls and jewelry Of great
value. that II was laid on the deck Of
the treasure hunting vessel and mys-
teriously disappeared.
Many pieces Of silver table service
were found. the ships bell, scattered
coins. platters, bits OF pottery, etc,
but the money boxes with the mil
lions still remain to entice others to
blast and dig.
Mr.. Harrington thinks the money
chests have been worn AVA by
water action, and that the treasure
is buried beneath tons OF sand and
mud.
1t is difficult for a diver to remain
long under the water because of the
depth and strong current. When MIR.
Harrington went down he had to be
weighted with $50 pounds OF lead,
100 pounds around his waist and
eighty pounds fastened to his ankles.
