Some shrewd people think they have
unraveled mystery of the war. The
mystery has TO do with the disappear.
ahce from the high seas of the good
ship Ravenna, one of the regular
liners of an English East IGdia COM
pany. Just as the war broke out we
had bought from South American
government cruiser which had just
been completed at British Shipyard,
This cruiser was afterward christened
the New Orleans. Being English
built, she was armed with English
guns, which required English am.
munition, including smokeless pow
der. 1t was given out at the time
that it was too bad that the neutral
ity laws prevented US from buying In
England the needed ammunition.
Then the Ravenna sailed, not on her
usual course, but to Antwerp, where,
according to the manifest, she took
on ballast. 1t was nicely boxed bal
last, which was carefully handled.
Then the Ravenna sailed out to sea
and since then, although it was
months ago, has never been reported.
But If the Rayenna disappeared an.
other ship came as mysteriOusly into
existence. She was found 10y a Uni.
ted States scout boat some 200 miles
off Sandy Hook, and, strange to
relate, there was not soul on board.
She was in fine condition, too,
and 10 her hold was nicely
boxed cargo. On her stern was paint

boat took her in tow and left her at
the Brooklyn navy yard. There il

the ballast was taken out with ex-
ceeding care and stored away. Had
persons OF an unduly inquiring turn
of mind been there at the time they
might have wondered why ballast
should be conveyed to the arsenal, Of
all places, and there locked up sc
carefully as this ballast was. But
then, there was nobody around witt

meat. Especially was this the case in
exhuming the remains CT Columbus,
and this fact has caused much unfav.
Orable comment and given rise to
grave rumOrs which, though uncOn-
firmed, appear to have some founda-
tion, as there has been no attempt at
denial from any source. The removal
Of the remains, which should Ger.
tainly have been public ceremony,
was yelled in the deepest mystery and
was effected behind closed doors of
the cathedral, which was guarded by
an armed force. Few of the authori-
ties were present, the names of those
who were to attend being handed to
the chief Of police the night before
10 General Blanco'S own handwriting.
The chief Of police suggested that
comments would be made by the press
upon the secrecy Of the proceedings
and asked whether it would not be
advisable to allow representatives of
the newspapers to be present. To
this General BlancO positively refused
to accede, telling the chief Of police
to limit himself exclusively to the list
Of guests which had been handed
him. No official account Of the cere.
mOny or statement regarding the
condition of the remains has been
made public, but it has leaked out
from an almost authoritative source
that they are not in exactly the same
condition as when they were placed
in the niche. When the remains we're
placed Ia the mausoleum a small
casket was enclosed, containing coins,
gold and silver medals, precious stones
and rolls Of parchment, as was then
the custom upon the occasion
of a burial. 1t appears that thi;
casket had been tempered with ani
rifed Of its contents, and further
rumors say that only portions of the
remains are left.

Two years ago the seventh went

dicted by the chairman would mean
a change Of $500 votes in the
seventh, which would mean Re-

$4,000 or $4,000. No one expects
any such majority as that, and there
