Word comes from Colmensr, Rpaln,
which Is less than 2u miles from
Madrid, of an interesting discovery of
burled treasure, concealed by bucca
neers during the eighteenth century
A workman who was digging on the
site of a ruined castle near the town
unearthed a number of old Hpanlab
gold and stiver coins
He reported
bls discovery to hie employer and a
systematic search was made In tbe
castle ruins.
After laying hare the foundations of
the castle, which date from the time
of the Moorish occupation, the ex
plorers uncovered a dungeon which
had been carefully sealed by the buc
caneers. In thia apartment, the walls
of which were of extraordinary thick
ness, were two rusted Iron chests
filled with treasure.
The contents of the chests were
carefully examined by experts, who be
lieve that they form part of the booty
obtained from ships captured more
than 150 years ago Old Spanish and
Portuguese money formed tbe bulk of
the treasure, bqt fnany gold and silver
ornaments. Including vases, jewelry
and ecclesiastical plate, were also
contained In the chests The excava
