BURIED GOLD.

One of the stories of buried treasure
known to every old Texan, and par
tIcularly to Mexicans, is that relating
to vast sum In Spanish gold and
jewelry buried at the root of tree
near what is now Summit Place.
The story deals with the victorious
march of the Mexican troops under
Santa Anna in 1886, when, after the
Alamo and after Goliad, they went to
meet the little band of Texas patriots
at San Jacinto. On the march follow
ers of the Mexican leader are said to
have possessed themselves of money
and jewelry in large quantities. Santa
Anna Is declared to have confiscated
all this wealth, intending later to re-
store it to its owners
But Santa Anna never had the OPP
portunity. General Sam Houston met
the Mexicans at San Jacinto and be-
fore the sun had set on April Fl the
Texans had routed the Mexicans.
Santa Anna and large part of his
forces were taken prisoners, but not
all of them. The treasure bearers are
said to have escaped and started for
Mexico. On arrival at San Antonio,
where news fthe decisive defeat of
Santa Anna had been received, they
were afraid to venture further with
their precious burden.
Beside gnarled oak to the north Of
San Antonio, some distance from the
Canine Real, the men are said to have
buried the treasure. This oak tree is
known to many, and even at this late
date gold hunters have dug In search
Of the pile.
On Salinas street, San Antonio, are
two ramshackle huts accredited with
holding a fortune in gold and silver.
One of them, at least rs years of age,
was once the haunt of a band of
French freebooters, whose leader wore
a huge black beard. These men, the
legend says, used to absent themselves
from San Antonio for days at a time
and their return always conceded
with stories of wagon trains being
held up and looted. The report says
they buried much of their. loot In the
floor of the adobe hut, and searchers
for 1t have appeared off and on fol
half century. The most recent was
half Indian medicine man" who
came there from San Marcos about
three years ago. This man carried G
hivining rod and sought to locate thu
treasure by its means. The various
holes he and others dug are still Wis
ible.

Grant and Artillery.
1t is interesting here to note that
Grant, while he admits the value OF
artillery. refused to be encountered
with 1t while he was on the move, and
he terms it an embarrassing luxury;
Napoleon, himself by training an ar
tillery officer, had field guns along
wherever he could possibly take them,
and turned the tide in several battles
with them.
Before Petersburg the deadlock gave
Grant ample time to bring up all the
guns he wanted
AS for the mine itself, when it did
explode" says Grant. ''it was very
successful, making crater 20 feet
deep and something like 100 feet in
length" The actual dimensions, from
measurement, were $50 by 80 feet and
80 feet of depth.
The explosion was considered ter
rifle and like an earthquake: probably
it was poor fireworks compared with
those mines of Haig's. which few
weeks ago were heard in London.
Burnside was to have used the
Ninth Corps in the assault by way Of
the crater; Meade had told him ex-
actly what to do; he should also have
cleared away previously the abatis
and other distractions in front of his
works. He had neglected to do so.
Ledlie Played Safe.
The one of his four divisions which
he finally sent into the crater was
commanded by General Ledlie, whom
Grant, without using word, calls a
coward by means of a euphemism
even more caustic.
'Ledlie, besides being inefficient,
proved also to possess disqualified
ton less common among soldiers. :.
His division marched into the crater
Immediately on the explosion, but
most Of the men stopped there in the
absence of anyone to give directions,
their commander having found some
safe retreat to get into before they
started" Ledlie had hidden in a
bombproof.
Burnside's other divisions failed to
support the crater assault because he
had not removed the obstacles and be-
cause he had not deployed them pro-
perly, as he had been ordered.
There was some delay" says Grant,

How Explanations Originate.

"Halloo" and "hurrah," which are
among the exclamations in common
use, can be traced to curious origins.
The author OF "The Queens English"
tells us that the people of Carnwood
forest, Lelcestershire, when they wish
TO hail any one at n distance call out
not "halloo" but ''halloup." This, he
takes it, is survival of the times
when one cried to another "a loupl A

ORIGIN OF KHAKI.
Why Our Soldier Boys Now Wear
Dust Color.

Why Our Soldier Boys Now Wear
Dust Color.
What is the origin of khaki? To
whom are we indebted for it?
II was first adopted in British India
in 1S4S by Sir Harry Burnett Lums-
den, who had been asked to equip a
corps of guides to collect intelligence
and to conduct an English force on the
northwestern frontier Of India. The
cloth used was a light cotton drill, as
suited the climate Of Hindustan, and
took its name from native term, "kha-
XII" which means in the Urdu language,
dusty" being derived from "khak" or
dust. says Popular Science Monthly.
Thus the term applied to the color Of
the cloth rather than to the material.
Though the dictionary tells us 1t is
pronounced kaykee by the natives, the
English have given il to MS as kharkee,
and this is the correct pronunciation.
Having been approved. the use Of the
cloth spread from the guides TO others
in the Indian army. aud it was worn
in the Sepoy mutiny Of 1857 by the
English troops. In the Boer war. 1899
1902, khaki was adopted in the British
service for an active service uniform,
and so worn by all English and colonial
troops in Africa But as cotton was
not warm enough for the African high.
landers, uniforms of the same kind
were made Of serge, and the term khaki
thus included wooden as well as cotton
fabrics. Because It was well fitted for
the climate Of Cuba and the Philippines,
the United states chose khaki for the
soldiers uniforms during the Spanish
American war.
