GALVESTON, Texas, Aug. 2 -- For many years there have been traditions that Lafitte, the buccaneer, had left vast sums of gold coin and silver bare buried about Galveston Island previously to his having been ordered away by the United States Government. From time to time persons have dug on the island and mainland in search of this treasure, and their utter failure appears to have in no way prevented others from making the attempt.
