The SpanardS Think They Have Them In HaVana but the Records Appear to Indicate That They Are

Santo Domingo, but In Spain. Cuba and the United States. Spain at once dis patched two commissioners to the scene to investigate the matter. According to ruinor, they did not even look at the remains, and it is said that one of the men whom Spain sent to investigate wrote his report of the matter while he was on the steamer en route to the island. Italy sent a warship to Santo Domingo to look into the case, as she claimed that Columbus was an Italian subject Nothing was done, however, at that time.
 Later the coffin was removed from the vault and placed in chapel adjoining the cathedral A heavy guard was con stantly kept near the place. The vault was first examined. On the walls were the letters "C. c. A." which were SUD- posed to stand for "Cristobal Colon, AL mirante." When the coffin was opened. it was found to contain a leaden box. in which were silver coffin plate. some bones and leaden bullet. On the casket was the following inscription: "Illustrt-

at Havana, where they have since re- mained. No doubt seems to have been raised in regard to the genuineness of the remains thus removed until Sept. 10, 1877. Some laborers in repairing a part of the floor of the cathedral discovered another vault on the right of the altar lying between that from which the sup posed remains of Columbus had been removed and the outer wall of the cham eel. These two vaults were separated by thin wall. One of them, the small CT of the two, was empty, while the other, the one that had apparently first been constructed, was found to contain a small leaden box A centimeters long, 23 centmeters high and 21H centimeters in breadth. A nearer inspection of the box and it's inscription satisfied the au- thoritles of the cathedral that the re- mains transferred in 1795 were those of Diego or his son Luis and that the re- mains of the admiral were still in the possession of the cathedral"
 Herr Croneau, noted German scien- tist, visited Santo Domingo in 1891 for the purpose of examining the remains found in the vault. He was given every fa- cility and at the conclusion of his in- vestigation gave 1t as his opinion that the remains were those of Columbus. Tn his report of the matter Herr Cro- neau said: T inspected the remains on

ous and Renowned Man, Don Christo- pher Columbus"
 This is the story told by the Domini- cans. Another story told in that sec tion of the country is that when the Spaniards removed the remains one of the priests kept some of them and hid them in the cathedral. There have been many controversies between the Span- iards and the Dominicans in regard to the matter but the Spaniards, and es- pecially those in Havana, have never permitted themselves to believe that the remains were anywhere but in their city.
 While many other stories have gone the rounds there is considerable proof in support of the theory that the remains are still in Santo Domingo and that those which the Spaniards have housed in the cathedral at Havana and which they are now preparing to send back to Spain are all that is mortal of Colum- bus son Diego or his brother Bartholo- mew, both of whom, as stated, were buried near the admiral.
 The following is taken from the re- port of Charles K. Adams to the Ameri- can Historical society. MT. Adams was formerly the president of Cornell uni verslty. In speaking of the roamings of Columbus remains MT. Adams says:
 Columbus expressed the wish that his
The age-herald., 1898-10-16

wanted to remove them they opened the vault in which his son Diego had been buried and in that way kept the bones of Columbus in the cathedral, as a re- quest had been made by the people of Santo Domingo to the pope to make the admiral a saint. The truth of these statements, however, has never been verified, and little or no importance is attached to them.
 The tomb in which were the remains taken away by the Spaniards was left unsealed for many years. No one was allowed to enter it, and it was not known to have contained any but the one casket. For nearly century aft- erward nothing was said concerning Columbus, and it was commonly believ- ed that his remains were in Havana. Some minor repairs to the cathedral at Santo Domingo brought out discoveries that changed the common thought as to the last resting place of the admiral. This was in 1877, when some of the workmen about the altar discovered a vault that had long since been forgot ten. An examination of the place was made by the archbishop and some of the high civil officers, and it was then asserted that the vault contained the bones of Columbus

the body was removed from Seville and shipped to Santo Domingo, where it was placed in a vault near the altar Of the famous cathedral which was erected by order of Don Diego Columbus in honor of his father, the discoverer and grand admiral.
 The construction of this cathedral was commenced in 1514 but it was not com pleted until 1540. The casket in which the body of Columbus was first placed began to decay, and the remains were removed from 1t and deposited in leaden box, on which was placed sil- yer plate suitably inscribed. It was in this manner they were sent from Spain to Santo Domingo. There were two vaults placed in the cathedral near the altar. They were separated from each other by a thin wall. In one of them the remains of the great explorer were placed, and the opening was sealed. In the other were put the remains of his son, Diego and his brother, Bartholo- new. Up to this time there was no doubt and there were many records to show where the bones of Columbus rested. A little later, however, the records were lost The officials of Santo Domingo claim that the remains subsequently, re- moved Dy tHe opdHidluS WciC HUI eiSoS of Columbus, but those of one of his family, while the Spaniards state that the cathedral at Havana holds the dust of, the man who gave to Castile a new
 world, which since it's discovery has
 been taken little by little away from her.
 For more than 200 years the bodies of Columbus, his brother and son slum- tered in peace in the vaults under or near the altar of the cathedral of Santo Domingo The old building, with it's Gothic roof, supported by IA massive columns, still survives the progress of ages. Time has weighed lightly on its moss covered sides, and with the excep- tion of some repairs which were made a few years ago nothing to mar the orig

inal beauty of the building has been done. Here alongside the high altar and in vaulted sepulchers above the pavement restede the remains of the great admiral and his son and brother. Spain lost Santo Domingo, as she has since lost her other possessions in America. but she has determined to keep the bones and dust that are sup posed to be those of her first great dis coverer. When Santo Domingo was ced- ed to France in 1796. the Spanish gov ernment had the vault which was sup posed to hold the remains of Columbus opened and the casket removed to Ha- vana. where they were inferred in the cathedral with great pomp and cere- mony. It was not known at the time that there were two vaults in the cathe- dral at Santo Domingo, or if the clergy were cognizant of the fact they refused to divulge the secret.
 Some authorities who have written on the subject have stated that the clergy knew where the remains had been in- terred and that when the Spaniards

This is inclosed in a glass case, which is locked with several keys, some of which are held by the church offi- cials, while the others are in possession of the civil authorities. They are in- closed in a heavy wooden case, which IS also kept locked by several keys, which are divided among the officials The re- mains are kept in a chapel adjoining the cathedral, over which a guard is placed"
 Herr Croneau states that the inscrip- tion on the cover of the casket was, "Descubridor de la America, Primero Almirante." Translated it means, "The Discoverer of America, the First Admi- ral." On the inside of the cover is an inscription written in Gothic script, partly abbreviated, which has been translated as follows: "The Famous and Excellent Man, Don Cristoval Colon"
 The silver plate was found In the bot tom of the lead box. It had an inscrip- tion on both sides, which evidently meant to state the same thing. The inscription translated is, he Last Part of the Remains of the First Admiral, Crstoval Colon, the Discoverer."
 After the remains were inspected be- fore the foreign consuls they were placed in the lead box and then in the glass case, which, after being locked, was bound in the tricolor of the island. The consuls then attached their seals to that. A strong outer box, which is closed with seven locks, received them all, which were thereuponretur to the chapel, where they are constantly under guard.

remains might be inferred on the island Of Hispaniola. It was not practicable that the wish should be complied with at once, and accordingly it is probable that the body of the admiral remained at Valladolid from 1506 to 1514, when 1t was transferred to Seville. About 1541, though the date is not precisely known, the remains were taken to Santo Do- mingo and deposited in the cathedral that had been recently completed.
 Although there is no record of that early date indicating where the remains were placed. there was tradition that they rested at the right of the altar, and 1S5 years later-namely, in 1676-this tradition took the form of an entry in the records of the cathedral. At a some- what later period than that of the transfer of the admiraPs remains, though the exact date cannot be fixed, the remains of Diego Columbus, togsth- CT with those of his son Luis, were car ried from Spain to Santo Domingo and buried in the same cathedral. It is probable that these interments took place about the beginning of the seven- teenth century, for there are records in Spain which apparently refer to the matter There was no inscription to in- dicate the locality of either vault

The story is told that friend, invited to dine with Schopenhauer at his fa- vorite restaurant, where a number of officers were in the habit of meeting, noticed that Schopenhauer took a gold coin from his pocket before eating and laid it on the table beside him. When the meal was over, the philosopher re- placed the coin in his purse. Upon a question from his friend.

"where ere the remains of Columbus?" has brought many different answers. Scientists and explorers have spent considerable time in trying to settle the much mooted point, and while some of khem have made discoveries that would lead one to consider the matter dis posed of for all time they have been unable to come to a positive conclu- sion, and it seems as unsettled today as it did when the vaults of the cathe- dral at Santo Domingo were opened and the remains, supposedly those of Columbus, were removed to Havana more than 100 years ago.
 Like his birthplace, the final resting place of Columbus cannot be definitely fixed, and there are at least three cities each of which claims the honor of being the spot where the great discoverer first saw the light of day, while three others claim to have his remains in their cathedrals. The last are Havana, Santo Domingo, on the island of the same name, and Aguadilla, small town on the coast of Porto Rico. There is nothing to show, so far as the latter is concerned that Columbus was ever near the place when alive, and little at- tention has been given to the report.
 With the other two places it is diff ferent. They do not only claim that the bones and dust of Columbus rest in the cathedrals of their cities, but have doc- uments to prove their assertions. There are two things certain-Columbus lived and died, and he was neither twins nor triplets. What records there are show that he was born in Genoa, Italy, and that he died and was buried at Vallado- lid, Spain. There are no records to prove in what year he was born, and historians and authorities differ as to the time. So far as is known, the event occurred either in 1435 or 1436 Some authorities claim 1t was ten years later, and that point also has never been settled satis- factorily.
 His death at Valladolid occurred May 20, 1506 and from that time to the pres ent his remains have been moved about from place to place until it is now a question as to where they really are. It Is safe to say that his body has travelled around and been placed in more vaults and cathedrals than those of any other great man. During his lifetime Columbus roamed about from one country to an- other, and 1t seems that even with death his voyages were not to end. In fact, death had still greater journeys in store for the famous discoverer.
 Columbus when dying requested that he be buried in Santo Domingo, which vas at that time the largest and most
