A SUCCESSFUL hunt for sunken
N treasure amounting TO mill
4 \ Ions is 90 unusual in the his
tory Of treasure-hunting that the
latest news from the scene has al
most upset the traditional dignity

for more than n hundred years at
the bottom OF the zuyder Zee.
Seated about their table, made OF
the recovered rudder OF the English
Frigate Lutine---the treasure ship
which sank In 1893 with its cargo OF

coins and bullion-the directors OF
Lloyd's are having the satisfaction
OF handling some hundreds Of coins
recovered from the wreck. while guns,

able for the Dutchmen, and was
aband oned. Lloyd's was again
obliged to postpone the quest ov ng
to general anxiety over Napoleon's
warl ke activity. Other international
roubles--including Hollands claim
TO half the Lutine salvage--interfered
with systematic search until 1858,
when divers again located the wreck
and brought up the bell of the old
frigate-which now rests in the com.
mittee room at Lloyd's, with other
relies.
The Dutch fisherfolk were so ex-
cited over this renewed locating Of
the treasure hulk that they swarmed
about In well-manned boats until they
had to be driven off by an English
gunboat. The work OF salvage went
on until 1851, with an additional total
OF $4,000 in bullion recovered.
Omaha daily bee., 1911-10-22

Strangely enough, records showing
the amount of treasure consigned to
the Lutine had disappeared. and
Lloyd's was indebted to the ingenuity
of the Dutch salvers for information,
virtually proving that $5,000,00 still
remains to reward present operations
off the Island OF Tersohelling. The
Dutch genius based his estimate on
the fact that the bars Of silver and
gold already recovered were stamped
With certain Btters and numbers
indicating a complete series, and that
the missing numbers and letters
would show the proportion Of the
treasure still resting at the bottom Of
the sea.
Later findings have verified this
estimate-showing that there were in
all one thousand gold and silver bars
In the Lutines hold. Mr.. Payne, &C.
cordlngly, presents this interesting
tabulated statement of the Lutines
treasure as it stands to-day:

1901 .,...,s...........,. t2IS, $50

covered, with more than $4,000. 900 as
the return for present efforts.
Such a triumph will mark a new
departure in historic attempts to re.

FIXING FOR DEFENSE.

Chihuahua. Mex. April S.-All doubt that the city is preparing for defense against a long siege was removed to- day when the military authorities be- gan to enclose the place within a trocha of barbed wire entanglement. Trenches are being dug and mines have been placed on avenues. leading to the heart of the town. An American who occupied a house owned by an Englishman today protested to the British consul against the invasion of his home by sOldiers who began punch ing rifle lOop-hOles in the walls. When the protest was filed the soldiers de- sisted.
 Work on the defenses continues day and night. To the west, in the direct ion of MaderO's camp the hill tops are filled with breastwOrks occupied by pickets on continuous duty. Some of the insurrecto camps are as rear as five miles. The federal outposts are not more than a mile out. MaderO has at his. command about 5000 men mounted. The insurrectOs recently received large quantities of ammuni tion and supplies. brought down from near the border.

READY FOR NEGOTIATIONS
Insurrecto Commissioners Unable to Reach Rebel Camp from Ell Paso, Re turn to San Antonio Various Engagements.

Madero's Camp. Bustillo's Ranch, near Chihuahua. April S.-Madero with his 5000 insurrectos, broke camp to- day and started toward the Casas Grandes region.
 This evidently is a move in accord ance with his new plans. The likeli- hood of a battle within the rext few days remains strong with the federals, the probable agressOrs, under General Lauro Villar. who has arrived at Chi huahua with a detachment of men, and several machine guns, succeeding Gen eral Hernandez.
 It is said that the rendezvous of Madero will be Madeira, the terminus of the railroad line of freight cars and engines completely controlled by insurrectos, were loaded with the camp equipment and forwarded
 The movement may have a serious effect on the plans of Madero's father and brother to enter the country from Fl PasO on a peace mission.
 The correspondent however, is au thorized to say that Senor Madero will welcome any peace commission, He will give it every possible assistance to travel safely He will give careful consideration to its proposals and en- courage any Overtures that seem reas- enable to him.

FACTS CONCERNING
 SUMMER EXCURSIONS LOW RATES TO COAST AND EAST
 ARE ANNOUNCED.

 ton for Eastern Travellers

Announcement was made at the Santa Fe and Arizona Eastern offices yesterday that the summer coast eX- cursion rates will go into effect May [. May l6 IS the first day back east excursion tickets will be sold. It was also announced that three sale days for back-east tickets had been added to those previously arranged
 The rate to Los Angeles. San Diego and Santa Barbara this summer is tO be S26.25. the same as last year. Sep tember 50 is to be the final Emit for all coast tickets. No arrangement has been made for diverse routing to and from the coast, as has been made for the eastern excursions, but the Santa Fe will permit side trips from Ash Fork to the Grand Canyon.
 June r. September and September are the added sale dates for the eastern excursions. The reduced rates will be in effect through practically all of June, July and August and a part of September Rates will be practically the same as last year, with few reductions and added conven- fences.
 One of the added inducements is the diverse routing plan. By paying only 8 extra, anyone can go out by way of Maricopa and back by Ash Fork, or vice versa. Better stopoVer Irivileges will also be allowed
 On the first date of each particular eastern excursion for some special Oc- casion, such as the annual Elks' con- vention in Atlantic City, both the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe will send out thorough Standard and Tour ist sleepers. Phoenicians who go east for any of the big conventions. CT about the time of any of the conventions. will be able to go straight through to their destinations without change of cars.
 Every summer the railroads are making things more comfortable and convenient for their excursiOnists. In a year or two all that it will be nec- essary for anyone to do is to buy q ticket and travel when he wants to. where he wants to, over any line or lines he prefers. without worrying about stOpovers. or anything else.

 It is understood that one of the req sons for the departure from Fl PasO, was the failure to get a proper escort into Chihuahua. SenOr Madero had assurances from Mexico City (privat- ely from Limantour) that they might pass unmOlested to the camp of Fran cisco MaderO, Jr., the leader of the insurrectOs. but General Navarro de- clined to issue a passport to the party.

DisgPaceIuI Contest For the
 Bodies of Mine Victims DEAD WERE SEVENTY-FOUR
Half the Houses of a Penn sylvania Mining Town in Mourning The Last of the Bodies Removed from the Pancoast Colliery.

Scranton. Pa. April S.-A revised
 list of the dead tonight shows that seventy-four men and boys met their death in the fire at the Pancoast colliery at Throop. near here. yester- day. A canvass of the victims fam lilies shows forty five widows and 137 orphans
 It is said that every corner of the workings which the fleeing victim might have reached in search of pure air has been entered and that every body has been removed. The last group of dead. comprising seven men, was brought up shortly before noon today.
 As fast as the bodies were recov- cred they were turned over to under takers. according to nationality. to be prepared for burial. The under takers fairly fought for the bodies, believing the company would stand for good round charges. and disgrace full scenes resulted. The police au- thOrities had to interfere.
 About every other house in ThroOp has crepe on the door, and in some houses there are more than one corpse. John Stoyak, his two sons and cousin lie in d room in his humble home. In one house seven children are made orphans. the eld- est ten years old. Another foreigners body was taken to a home where one child was ill with scarlet fever and another with typhoid fever.
 In the number of victims this was the worst mine horror in the Lacka- wanna valley, and the worst in the whole anthracite coal fields since the Averdale disaster of September G, 1869, when 1IO men lost their lives by suffocation consequent upon the burning of breaker.
 Many explanations are offered as to how the Pancoast victims came to their deaths but none are satisfac- tory. one of the contributing causes, it is said, was the failure of the in side mine bosses to realize the immi- hence of the danger in the tunnel until it was too late for the men to be gotten out.
 The fire started a little after 9 o'clock Mining operati Jns were con tinued until II o'clock. It is believed that it was not until near II o'clock that the danger to the men in the tunnel was realized. Some attempted to come back in the direction of the fire and some got a considerable way in the other direction. None got anywhere near safety and fell in their tracks or lay down exhausted. bury ing their faces in wet culm to avoid the choking smoke and deadly gas. Some stuffed wet handkerchiefs into their mouths. Many were found hud- dled under sheets of canvas, used in the mines in constructing air courses. All died with a struggle depicted on their dead features.
 N Frederick, chief of the state department of mines. arrived today with other mine experts and will conduct an investigation.
 Dr. J. A. Holmes, of Washington. D. C.. chief of the United States bureau of mines. has also undertaken an investigation in behalf of the fed eral government. He has appointed
