GOLD LIES BURIED
Treasure Hidden in Texas NOT
Found by Searchers.
Spanish Loot Was Obtained During
Victorious March OF MexIcans
Under Santa Anna ;n 1895.

One of the stories of buried treasure
known to every old Texan, and par
ticularly to Mexicans, is that relating
to a vast sum in Spanish gold ard jew
elry 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 it's owners.
But Santa Anna never had the OPP
portunity. Gen. Sam Houston met the
Mexicans at San Jacinto and before
the sun had set on April 81 the Tex
ans had routed the Mexicans. Santa
Anna and large part of his forces
were taken prisoners, but not all c1
them. The treasure bearers are said
to have escaped and started for Mex
leo. On arrival at San Antonio, where
news of the decisive defeat of Santa
Anna had been received, they were
afraid to venture farther 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 of gold and silver.
One OF them, at least seventy-hve
years of age. was once the haunt or
band of French freebooters, whose
leader wore huge black beard. THESE
men, the legend says, used to absent
themselves from San Antonio for days
at time, and their return always CO.
incided with stories of wagon trains
being held up and looted. The re-
port says they buried much OF their
loot in the floor of the adobe hut, ana
searchers for it have appeared Off and
on for half a century. The most re-
cent was half Indian medicine man."
who came there from San Marcos
about three years ago. The man car
ried divining rod and sought to To-
cate the treasure by it's means. The
various holes he and others dug are
still visible.

Health of Prisoners.

Those who study prisons and try TO
find out why men get there will be in
terested in this news from New York
city. Out of 1000 men of military age
registered on June in penal institu-
tons of that city less than per ceat
were physically fit for service. In
Blackwell's Island prison not one was
fit for the army. Every one was
physical discard. A great many per-
sons who have studied such things
much will say that perhaps the physi-
cal condition of these young men may
be the chief reason for their presence
in prison. And most of us feel quite
sure that fine, healthy bodies and nor
NAL minds are most likely to keep their
owners out of prison. 1t is with some
satisfaction that we reflect upon the
fact that this war will do a great deal
to make human bodies stronger and
healthier-and to that extent make
prisons useless.-Illinois State Jour-
nal.

Remedy for Caterpillar Plague.

An efficient modern remedy for the
caterpillar plague seems yet to seek,
and no one apparently cares to resort
to the methods Of the past. In the yeas
1120 the bishop Of Laon sought to stay
such a plague by solemn sentence OF
accommodation against the insects,
and in later centuries this procedure
was frequently repeated. One admo-
milton, dated 1916, runs: ave grant the
request of the inhabitants Of Villenore
and warn the caterpillars to retire
within six days. In default of this we
declare them accursed and excommu-
nicated" With nice feeling for JUS
tice, an advocate was appointed in one
instance to plead the cause of the in
sects against that of the farmers be-
fore sentence was pronounced.

WILSON
WILL TRY AGAIN
Way Remains Open For Further
Efforts TO Secure Peace.

Washington. Jan. 13.-President
Wilson's entire cabinet agrees vita
his view of the peace situation. They
endorsed the presidents interpreta-
tion of the entente reply to the Amer
ican note asking peace terms. They
believe with the president that the
way remains open for another move
toward securing a peace by the Unit
ed States and expressed gratficatioa
at the. tone of the entente reply, al.
though no secret was made of the
fact that it had been hoped the terms
named would not be so drastic.
1t Is generally agreed everywhere
that the nature of the terms of the
entente, with the intimations from
German sources that such terms can
not be accepted make an early peace
unlikely The preliminary view OF
the administration. however, still is
that the door to discussion was not
entirely closed.
The Germans express the belief
that the entente set forth in its notc
the objects it desires to achieve faith
er than the only terms upon which it
would make peace, and that as the
communication was written for pub
lication broadcast, it probably could
not be expected that objects or ter1ds
less moderate than those given could
have been stated.
