The latest suggestion as to the where- abouts of all the diamonds recenty stolen in Evwlond is full of romance For mere than one veneration it has been known that the gvps-es possess somewhere in the New Forest a cache, as the red Indians cal! the place where they conceal their stere of winter food, but this cache is said to be far more than a mere hole for hiding bag- gage. It is a long eubterrancan paseage leading to the sea. The entra: ce is known only te the members of one single tribe, many of whom reside entirely within its receeses. The place is regarded as a sanc- to which access may be wbtained for any gypry under the ban «f the law, and if agypsy can once reach the ;lace he may tarry until “‘nothing further is heard ” concerbing it. He is generally assisted to escape to the seashore, w!en be goes abroad for a time, to return again and commence anew. It is believed by some of the ehrewdest of the police authorities that this cache isa sanctuary for stolen goods, in: which the produce of n any of the vecent diamond robberies has been secreted and from thence ;ut op board veseeis fur America, Russia or Holland.
