portion of the remains of the first Ad-
miral, Don Christopher Columbus"
The bones, which did not form a COM
plete skeleton, were numbered, and a
list of them prepared by DR.. NJ. A. Go
mez and DR.. j. De j. Brenes. After
the examination the casket was sealed
and placed in charge of Father Bellini
to await such disposal as should be
deemed fitting. A grand display took
place upon their removal. The Span
ish authorities sent Don Lopez
Prudo from Havana to make further in
vestigations, and several sessions OF
these examiners were held, nothing new
being elicitod. Mr.. CASTILLO will in a
day or two receive photographs OF the
coffin and inscription, and before long
will 90 to Rome with communications
from citizens of San Domingo asking
for advice and assistance in the matter
of erecting a monument to Columbus.
He does not say whether or not he in
tends to have his sample of Columbus
immured in this city and marked with d
continental monument. If the San Do
mingo remains were carefully divided
there would be enough Of Columbus to
give several cities an excuse for building
monuments, and would add a realistic
interest to the memorials that strictly
empty monument would not be expect
ed TO possess.
