COVET GIFTS TO THE GODS.

 cupf--r rezsures


 sunksn treasures.
 "TeD thousand feet above the sea level. in tbe mountains of Colombia not far trum BogOIa. lies the sacred lake of Guatavita. in huge cup sur rounded by bills" says the cuatemala Review. An English engineer. with The assistance of body of natives. has in the last few years succeeded in fraining off all the water. laying ba re q deposit of mud about thirty feet h depth It Is in this mud that the valuable offerings of the anei~ot na. tives To rheir deity are presumably lying. and the beginning Of the trench Ing work has already brought 'frsds' of a description sufficient to prove that the old tales of hidden treasure are not mythical. There have been recovered up to now gold bowl. numbers of emeralds, two gold snakes. gold band. golden images. curiousiy carved stones and several articles Of pottery. According to the stories of fhe historians. these are parts of the gifts which the inhabitants of Colombia were accustomed for centuries to make in propitiatfon of their gods.
 "1'he Cbiheha Indians. under tbe leadership of their chief and high priest. assembled periodically on the shores of the sacred lake. the chief having his body covered with gold dust There they placed their offerings of gold. precious stones and household treasures on rsie raft which. when it was heaped up with the priceless cargo. was rowed to the center of the lake by the chief He then washed off the gold dust from his body. and the treasure on tiie raft was tossed into the water while the spectators daacad and sang or t1e shore.
 After tse S.anirrds invaded the country the natives are said to have thrown countless treasures Into the fahr to prevent them from being seiz- ed h- their conarer~rs. The latter rlade so1sp atte~pt to recover the gold hut mel with Ilttfe success.'

JUAREZ IS VAST
CURIO SHOP NOW
The Souvenir Hunters Find
Many Things, Even to
Dead Bodies.

Juarez was an old curiosity shop for
the sightseers as soon as the ban was
lifted Thursday afternoon. 1t was a
second taking of the towh, this time
by the American crowd Of curious.
Instead OF shooting Mausers, they were
clicking cameras and were using pre-
mo packs instead of steel and lead.
There was but one real object fixed In
the minds Of these sightseers and that
was to take as many pictures as pos
sible. ask as many foolish questions as
possible. and seize as much of the So
called souvenir junk as they could
carry away.
The discarded uniforms Of the fed
efAl soldiers were pickings for the
souvenir hunters The fact that these
were vermin ridden did not deter them
from making away with them to show
on the other side as proudly as if they.
and not the insurrectos. had captured
the town. Caps, belts and even coats
and uniform trousers were logged off
to be shown in great glee as the spoils
of war One Of these. a woman, had
a sudden and fearful awakening. She
was digging in pile OF uniforms near
the market house when she let a
scream out of her system that caused
a half hundred rebel soldiers to come
running as If expecting attack
There's a dead man under there. .
she squawked, as if she had been base
" abused by being allowed to search
in the pile by the thoughtless rebels
Sure enough. there was the body of a
federal soldier completely buried under
the clothing which his companions had
taken off when they were defeated.
The sightseers left Immediately for the
American side. forgetting to take along
her souvenirs.

MON ROY KILLED
IN JUAREZ FIGHT
Two Dead Bodies Found
Yesterday-Horses and
Pic Killed.

The dead body of one of the Mexican
customs guards. named Mon Roy, who
had fought with the city volunteers,
was found Thursday night, lying in
the same place where he had fallen.
pierced by a bullet during the battle
of Juarez. He had been shot through
the left temple, the bullet coming out
the opposite side of his head. and the
body was lying on the southwestern
outskirts OF the village below the bar
racks.
Mon Roy, as Mexican customs inspec-
tor. had been stationed at the Lerdo
avenue station and inspected the travel
ers from FL Paso to Juarez.
The body of Mon Roy was the object
of much curiosity to the sightseers.
Thursday afternoon 1t was lying on
its back and the face covered with the
victims hat. The flies were swarming
over the mans body and decomposition
had already set in.
About 10G yards from the body of
Mon Roy another body was lying where
1t had fallen, after being shot through
the heart The body was dressed in
civilian clothes and was either that of
a noncombatant or one of the insur-
rectos As. in the case of the other
BODIES, II nad DeSun 10 oecOinpOSe, anu
innumerable flies were swarming
around it, Some thoughtful Mexican
woman had spread towel over the
face of the dead man.
Several horses in corrals near the
barracks were killed during the battle.
Two horses which were in the direct
line of fire, were lying dead only a
short distance south of the place where
the federals made their last stand Near
the stockyard where the federals often
kept many of their horses, the dead
body of pack mule was lying. A lit
tie black pig was found short dis
lance south of the barracks and had
evidently been shot by the federals.

TRADE RELATIONS
MAY De RESTORED
Food Supplies and Merchan-
disc May Be Passed to
Juarez.

washington, D. c., May 12-Officiais
In Washington are engrosseo In consid-
ering questions of International law
relating to rights of insurrectionists to
secure food and other supplies from
neutral territory; the extent TO which
the federal authority can go in con-
trolling the expectations Of arms and
munitions of war to Mexico and what
authority army officers may exercise
in restricting movements of civilians,
soldiers and rebels on the border
The war department simply abided
by its original orders to the military
commanders to execute neutrality laws
as they understood them, and II either
the treasury or state departments chose
to suggest any change in the practice
the war department was ready to con-
form.
Actually there was no real question
before the departments-after the. le-
gal adviser Of the insurrecto agent here
had been told by the treasury depart
melt that the trade relations between
FL Paso and Juarez might proceed as
heretofore.
Thus at least food, supplies and
merchandise might be carried across
the line. No attempt was made to de-
eide as to admission Of arms, as that
question has not been raised.
Probably It Will not be until an at
tempt Is made TO carry an invoice OF
rifles and ammunition through the
United States custom house. The con-
ditions will have an important bearing
upon the treasury director
But 1t is generally believed that in
view of the decisions Of the United
States court, that II such arms and am
rnunition are shipped by regular deal
Ell in the United States to another regu-
lar dealer in Juarez they must be per-
rnitted to go through the FL Paso GUS
tom house, provided they are not con-
signed to an agent Of the instruction
lists. Any decision as to Importation II
Juarez would apply to any Mexican
town the insurrectos occupy.
