Laden With Treasure.

Prince, which lies at the bottsm of
the sea off Sevastopol. The Black
Prince was dispatched to Sevastopol
with a general cargo for the army and
$500,0 600 as service pay. 1t was sunk
the day Of its arrival by Russian gun
fire, and went down with it's cargo
and treasure, one Of which has ever
been recovered. Another English s
sci containing a large amount in spe-
Gle is the East Indiaman Gresvenor,
now lying under water off st. Johns,
Cape Colony.
AS an amusing instance Of the way
in which lost treasure can grow by
rumor, Captain Kidd's hoard Is in
structive. When Kidd was hanged in
London in May, 1901, a shipmate of
Kidd's said that the captain had hid
den about $1,000 worth Of plate and
coin, which he had not been able to
recover From this small beginning
sprang the innumerable stories of
Captain Kids boards, the last of
which placed the amount at SIS, 600, 900.

for a long time has been the subject
of diplomatic interchange in which Mr..
Hill has been intimately engaged.
State department officials declined to-
day to discuss the resignation.
The retiring ambassador has been
connected with the state department
for more than twelve years, entering
the service as assistant secretary of
state Oct. %, 1898. He was appointed
minister to Switzerland in 1903, and
two years later was transferred to the
Netherlands. Since April 2, 1908, he
has been ambassador to Germany.
The belief is general that Ambas-
sador Hills retirement is in accord
with the custom of past administra-
lions to appoint new ambassadors to
all of the important posts. Changes
have been made heretofore by Presi-
dent Taft at all such places except
Great Britain and Germany. In the
case of Great Britain, President Taft
offered the mission to DR.. Charles w.
Elliot, of Harvard university, who de.

SEAS BURIED GOLD
LURE OF LOST TREASURE HUNT.
ING NOT ALL FICTION.
Millions Hidden Under Ocean-Soms
Has Been Recovered, but Much
Remains to Be Found
Case Of John Phipps.

Boston.-Not all the tales OF vast
treasures buried deep under the sea
are evolved in the minds OF novelists-
Robert Louis Stevenson and a dozen
other writer's have made such stories
famous, but there have been men,
real men, who have profted by Be-
crets of buried gold. real gold. In
fact, some Of the real stories OF lost
and recovered treasure can give
points to romance and beat II with
ease.
The successful adventures Of John
Phipps are a case in point. Phipps,
who had been a ship S carpenter, to-
wards the end of the seventeenth
century, spent years trying to con-
vince various peers that there lay a
vast Spanish treasure under the sea
off H~ispaniola. At last, the Duke OF
Albemarle lent him a ship, with the
result that, after a year Of adventure
Phipps returned to England, bringing
with him recovered treasure worth
81, 900, 900.
Phipps' welcome when he returned
to England with this freight resulted,
through the influence of the Duke OF
Albemarle, who shared his treasure,
in k%nighthood and an appointment as
governor of Massachusetts.
Ever since the time of Phipps, the
search for gold has gone On. How
ever, although centuries have passed,
many a million still lies on the bot
tom of the ocean, and it may continue
there centuries longer.
Perhaps the most valuable sunken
treasure in the world is now lying at
the bottom of Vigo bay. The Spanish,
in 1902, to avoid capture, scuttled
their largest ships laden with treas
ure, the harvest Of four years loot
ing in Mexico. The treasure, in golt,
silver and previous stones, is estk-
mated to be worth $40, 900, 600.

ward group in the West Indies, either
