How De Long and His Men Were
Buried.


II was Chief Melville's intention to bury tho
remains upon the bank where they were
found, but the natives assured him that in all
probability any tomb would be washed away,
as when the river broke up in the spring
there would be about four feet of water over
the entire delta. He, therefore. had them all
removed to the top of a hill of solid rock
about three hundred feet high about forty
Versts to the southwest, and there constructed
a mausoleum of wood from the wreck of the
scow near where they were found. First a
gigantic cross was hewn out of solid piece
of iftwood and erected on the crest of the
hill, and around il was built a box six feet
wide, two feet deep and twenty-five feet long,
placed exactly in the magnetic merriam.
After the bodies had been placed therein the
box was covered with timbers laid side by side
and ridge pole sixteen feet long framed into
the cross five feet above the lid of the coffin,
the ends supported by timbers having the
same inward slant. Against this ridge pole
were placed timbers side by side until the
whole formed a true pyramid and then stones
were heaped upon the entire structure, so
that it looks like pyramidal mound of stones
surmounted by cross. The cross itself is
twenty-five feet high from the surface of the
rock, Is one foot square, and the crossbeam is
twelve feet long by one foot square.
On the cross is engraved the following in
scriptlon. cut in by the search party at their
house at nights;

The Investigation Of the Peruvian Com
pany" Hesu,netl-A Blow at Blaine.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The House
foreign affairs committee to day resumed
the examination of Jacob r. Shipherd.
Before the arrival of Shipherd Chairman
Williams. read a letter from the late Mn
lister HurlDut dated Lima, March 18th, in
which he stated he expected to be in
Washington and appear before the COM
mittee about April 25th, and adding that
the United States has bad reputation at
Lima.
Shipperd then appeared, and before
being questioned presented copy of a
letter written by himself on May 81, 1881,
to the president, which stated that since
the publication Of the letter of General
Grant to Senator Jones, his clients object
ed to making Grant president of tho Peru
Wan company, and asking President Gar
field to suggest some one for president Of
that company.
Shipherd then made an explanation in
reference to an article published in the
Washingto ton Republican, in which Shipherd
was reported as saying he proposed to
create sensation in the committee room.
He admitted having made such statements
but said the person to whom he talked was
Il private Iuu Jllu uO COuu0C.
tiOn with any newspaper. He refused to
tell the committee who the person was
with whom he had the conversation.
Shipherd then read from long written
statement, that he was placed in an en-
barrassing position by the death of Minis
ter Hurlbut, who stood in the position OF
chief accuser, and he did not like to attack
his character, but in justice to himself he
deemed it his duty to proceed just as if
Mr.. Hurlbut were living. Proceeding,
Shipherd said Hurlbut was purchasable,
and desired to be SO placed that he
could in the future help himself.
"He never was purchased, said Ship
herd, "and all his subsequent acts were
calculated to obstruct and Illustrate our
purposes. and i'm this he was fully seconded
by his chief, the late secretary of state,
with notifications that / shall at the
proper time Offer
In reply to Mr.. Rice, Shipherd said he
would be prepared to be examined fully
upon the subject matter of his statement,
and the committee then adiouraed until
to morrow.
