COLUMBUS TOMB ROBBED.
Part OF the Remains and BOX of
Treasure Said to Be Missing.

Treasure Said to BE Missing.
HAVANA, Sept. 30.-The removal of
the remains of Columbus, which should
certainly have been a public ceremony,
was yelled in the deepest mystery and
was effected behind the closed doors
of the cathedral, which was guarded
by an armed force.
No official account of the ceremony
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 the same condition as when they
were placed in the niche. When the
remains v'ere placed in the ma,lsoleum
a small casllet was enclosed containing
coins, gold and silver medals, preci Gus
stones and rolls of parchment, as was
then the custom upon the occasion of
a burial. 1t appears that this casket
has been tampered with and rifed of
it's contents, and further rumors say
that only portions of the remains are
left.
Some of the more radical Spaniards
60 to the length of saying that the
whole ceremony was farce, the
Washington government having OBJ
iected to the removal of the remains
and this gOvarnme it going through
the panto4nimo in order to make the
public believe that the remains, which
were really left here, were shipped to
Spain.

Mr.. BAYARD DEAD.
Was Senator, Secretary of State and
Ambassador to England.

Ambassador TO England
DEDHAM, Mass, Sept. .3O.-Thomas
F. Bayard died at 4:4O o'clock yester-
day afternoon at Karlstein, the sum-
mer residence of his daughter, Mrs.
Samuel D. Warren, after an illness of
six weeks His death was without
pain. His wife, his two daughters
Mrs. Warren and Miss Florence Bay
ard-and his son, Thomas F., Jr., saw
him draw his last breath, and his third
daughter, the Countess Lauenhaupt,
was on her way to Dedham.
The remains will be conveyed to
Delaware and the formal service will
be held Saturday in the old Swedish
Church at Wilmington.
Thomas f. Bayard was born at Will
mington Del, October 20, 1873. He
was distinguished member of an en-
inent family. Since long before the
revolution, the Bayards were conspic-
uous in the history of this country-as
patriots, statesmen and iurists.
Four members of the Bayard family,
direct descendants. have had senator
ial honors bestowed upon them by the
little state OF Delaware - Thomas
Francis Bayard; his father, James
Asheton "ayard: his grandfather Of
treaty Of Ghent, and his uncle, Rich
ard Henry Bayard. His grandmother's
faith Governor Bassett of Delaware,
was ., D the re- pient of senatorial
hon"4s.
Mr.. Bayard S popularity in his native
state k pt growing rapidly, and in
1868 he was elected to succeed his
father in the United States Senate
He was subsequently twice reelected.
1t is noteworthy that on the day he
was elected to the Senate for the full
term, his father, who had resigned,
was also reelected a senator from
Del ware, to serve for the unexpired
part of his original term. This is the
only case of a father and son being
voted for by the same Legislature to
fill the senatorial offices.
Almost at the outset of his Senator
ial career Mr., Bayard took leading
position on the Democratic side. He
received Is votes for President in the
Democratic national convention of
1872 In the convention of '76, after
receiving 81 votes, he furnished the
necessary to nominate Samuel j. Til
den.
When the Democratic national con-
vention was held in 1880 his friends
rallied in force to secure his nomina-
tion for t''e presidency, and such was
their strength and the popular feeling
for him shat on the first ballot he
stood next to Hancock, who was nomi
mated on the second. In the Demo
acra6in convention of 1884, at which Mr.
Gle vcland was nominated, Mr.. Bayart
I received the next largest vote to th
successful candidate on the two ballot
I which wero taken.
| When Grover Cleveland was electe
President in 1884 Mr.. Bayard, at hi
earnest solicitation, accepted the por
folio OF secretary of state, and di
charged his duties with his usu
ability. During Clevelands secon
term he acted as am bassador to Eng
land He retired from public lif
| in 1897
! Mr.. Bayard was twice married. III
! had nine children, all by his first wife
who died during his first year as sec
| retary of state. His second marriage
! was with Miss Mary Clymer of Wash
! ington, in 1891.

Cubans Die by Scores.

HAVANA, Sept. 3O.-The distress,
disease, de"th, hunger and starvation
at Matanzas continue unabated. The
daily average of deaths upon the street

CIR ndc, was held up by two men be-

hole in the express car. Passengers on
the train say at least thirty shots

 WE'RE SMASHED Closing Night of the Bicycle Race
 Meet. HICKMAN MADE MILE IN 2:1O WineSett Lowered Quarter Mile Record
 by Three Seconds.
HICKMAN MADE MILE IN 2:10
BIG MATCH RACE ARRANGED
Between Walthour and Pacific Coast Champion for the Two Nights Meet on Friday and Saturday-Other
 Good Events Booked.

State records galore were smashed at the track of the Cycle Racing association last night.
 Stubbs broke the record for two mile amateurs when he finished in 4.3o Ped Hickman also lowered the one-mile recerd by riding it in 2:10 1-5. Eli Winesett, the Pacific coast champion, rode quarter mile in :2S 4-5, lowering the state record of 31 seconds.
 Every race was exciting, and the crowd was as large as on the night previous and a trihe more enthusiastic. Birmingham citizens are warming to the sport and as long as the racing association furnishes good sport it will be backed by liberal patronage. Paced races will probably prove the most attractive, as this does away with the loafing, as could be seen last night
 Last night marked the close of the sec ond meet. The track will be open again Friday and Saturday night when more elaborate programmes will be furnished. The local talent has shown up in splendid shape and two or three more strings of professionals will be here to enter the lat ter part of the week.
 Match Race Arranged
 One feature alone of the next two days meet which will be well worth witnessing is the match race arranged last night be- tween Bob Walthour, the southern crack. and Eli Winesett, who holds several Pacific slope time records. Winesett challenged Walthour before the races began last night and the match was arranged after they were over. It will be a match race for $2O0, . with $150 to the winner and $50 to the loser. It will, in all probability, require I three heats to decide it. The first night they will run five miles, the second night three miles, and if each wins heat, the final trial will be for mile.

Baltimore, October 11.-Baltimore and New York broke even today. In the first contest the locals got five of their six hits in the second and fifth innings, and tallied four runs. Both teams played a sharp and erroress game. Four singles, a two- bagger, hit baseman and an error gave the visitors five runs in the fifth. Doheny was hit in the short ribs by a pitched ball, and resigned in favor of Seymour, who re- tired the Orioles without a hit in the two innings which he pitched.
