his spoil to Cocos island, where he
| buried it.
The other plant" called the Mary
DER treasure, was committed to the
keeping of Cocos island by the crew
of the ship of that name, which hap
pened to be in the harbor of Cal
lao, Peru, during war upheaval.
All the treasures and plate of the
cathedral and of the churches of Lima
and the surrounding country were
hurried to the Scotch ship Mary DER.
In addition many wealthy citizens
placed their choicest possessions on
the vessel. In all it is stated that
the ships unexpected cargo amount
ed in value to over s15,0O0,000.
This proved too much, tradition
states, for the officers and crew. The
guardians of the wealth were over
powered and the treasure was land
ed and buried on Cocos island until
such time as it could be recovered
and used.
Some time later the vessel and most
of the crew were lost. The captain,

who made several trips to the island
and succeeded in recovering about
$4,000 in golden doubloons.
Since then numerous exploring ex-
petitions have visited the island.
Only last year two of these came into
conflict and a savage fight ensued.
There have been other fights over the
treasure.
Many Parties Hunt Treasure.
At present the island is guarded by
Capt. Matthews, its governor and part
owner. He is directing the search.
Harold Gray, of Ireland, claims the
concession to hunt the treasure, but
the claim is combated by others. An
armed expedition under Lord Fitz-
williams of England had a brush with
the Gray forces last year and the
Costa Rican government was com
PEELED to send a gunboat to restore
order. AS far as known the Cocos
Island treasure remains undiscovered. |
Most treasure hunts are being con-
iucted by companies which provide |
capital as a speculation. Now and |

kent entertain a Prisoner.

They also sent one of their chief
tains. Donald Glas Mclean. on board
the vessel to collect the price agreed
upon. but the Spanish admiral dis
armed him and kept him prisoner.
During the night, so the story goes,
Mclean discovered the position of the
povder magazine. The next morning
as the ship was getting under way
the chieftain was brought on deck to
take a last look at his native land.
Breaking away from his captors, he
rushed below and blew up the ship
perishing with most of the crew.
Since then a number of endeavors
have been made to recover the treas
ure. In 1641 and again in 1856 the
dukes of Argyle attempted salvage OPP
erations. but without success. In 1870
diving bell was employed.
At that time a fine bronze cannon
was recovered, with many gold and
silver coins. Since then other guns
and relics have been brought to the
surface, but the strongroom supposed
to contain the treasure has never
been reached.
Among the articles already recov-
cred are sword blades and scabbards,
pistols, large and small; peculiar
tapering-necked bottle of crude work
manship and bones of drowned Span
iards. The sword blades and scab-
bards were heavily incrusted with
lime and the bottle covered with
crustacea.
One of the early divers found that
the deck of the vessel from the m1z-
zen mast forward was blown away
and that cannon and other contents
of the ship were scattered about for
a distance of 20 yards. The poop |
from the mainmast aft, however, was
intact. Here, it is believed, the treas
ure room is located.
Since then the vessel has settled
and a formation of sand
and mud now covers it. To get
through this a wrecking crew is work
ng under direction of Capt. William
Burns. who has had considerable ex-
,erience in salvage work.
Sand pumps are being used and the
Iivers work by the aid OF a 2,OOV-
andie power electric light. They
ave brought up candlesticks, fagons,

EXPLOSION IN A SUBWAY.
Number of Workmen Arc Killed and
IniuPeI

Number of Workmen Are Killed and
Injured.
A terrific explosion of illuminating
gas in the subways of the Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit company under
construction at Sixth and Market
streets, Philadelphia, Friday. resulted
in the death of seven men, injuring a
dozen Others and caused property
damage that Will run into thousands
of dollars.
Besides seven known dead, it is said
three others are buried under tons of
earth.
An explosion occurred shortly be-
fore seven. and in consequence of the
early hour but few workmen had
gathered. The explosion was caused
by a leak in the gas main that had
been improperly repaired Thursday
night. The escaping gas formed in a
pocket in the subway and it is believ-
ed that a workman carrying a lamp
into the great hole ignited the gas.
The corner of Sixth and Market
streets Is in one of the busy sections
Of the city. but there was fortunately
little traffic there when the explosion
occurred.
