Too Much Mystery and Secrecy Re-
Garding CoIumbus's Remains.

Garding COIumbus's Remains.
HAVANA, via Key West. Sept 8-Mys-
terry and secrecy surrounds all the official
acts of the Spanish government. Especially
was this the case in exhuming the remains
Of Columbus, and this fact has caused much
unfavorable comment and given rise to
grave rumors. which. though unconhrmed.
appear to have foundation, as there has
been no attempt at denial from any source.
The removal of the remains, which should
certainly have been a public ceremony, was
yelled in the deepest mystery, and was ef-
fected behind the closed doors of the cathe-
dral, which was guarded by an armed force.
Few of the authorities were present, the
names of those who were TO attend being
handed to the chief OF police the night be-
fore in General Blancos own handwriting.
The chief of police suggested that COM
ments 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 emphati-
cally 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 ceremony or
statement regarding the condition of the re-
mains has been made public. but 1t has

Cuban Army Is Not Provided For.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Sept. 2S.-Gen
Enrique Collazo, the most prominent coll
league of Gen. Calixto Garcia, and the Gu
ban military officer who accompanied Lieut.
Rowan on his return to the United States
after delivering documents from the War
Department to General Garcia, will publish
in Ell Porvenir tomorrow over his signature
a strong article, in which he contrasts the
state Of affairs in the island after the revo-
luton of 1878 and the present situation.
"Then," says General Collazo, "the Span
iards took common-sense view of the mat
ter and paid the insurgents enough money
to allow them to return to their
homes and commence work. They reduced
and in most cases remitted taxes, and
treated the people leniently, affording them
every facility for the resumption of peace

the disbandment, without pay, of the Gu
ban army still retain the heavy duty on

resuming the cultivation of their lands, and
are generally acting without consideration
toward men deserving the highest consid-
Grafton for their services to the cause of
liberty. 1t is true the Americans are dis
tributing free rations TO the Cuban army,
but the Cuban soldiers do not want charity,
but only an opportunity to work for them
selves" The article concludes with a SOL
emn warning of the serious consequences
likely to ensue unless the aggravated situ-
alton is relieved.

The Cairo correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph says: 1T is stated on good author
ity that General Kitchener intends to re-
tire from the Egyptian service. He regards
his work as completed and will return to
England at the middle of October 1t is ru-
mored that his eyesight is affected. Upon
arriving at Fashoda the sirdar shook hands
with Major Marchand and they dned to-
gether the same evening. Major Marchand
lacked supplies. A story is current that he
has left Fashoda. He received help from a
local chief who is now our adherent. 1t is
stated that the Khalifa's treasure, e10, 0,O00.--
600 in value, which was hidden in the desert,
has been found and forwarded here Lord
Edward Cecil will take Fashoda dispatches
to England. The British government has
offered 912 sterling to each reserve or time
expired man who is willing to re-engage
with the expedition.
The Daily Chronicle this morning declares
that General Kitchener had full instructions
as to how to meet the Marchand expedi-
ton, and that everything happened as had
been anticipated There is nothing now
for France says the Chronicle, but to
extricate Major Marchand from his unten-
able position. There is no alternative to
this but declaration of war. Great Britain
will not allow armed reinforcements to
reach Major Marchand. When France shall
have accepted the inevitable it is believed
that England will assent to the neutralizing

PARIS, Sept. 2S.-The house and furniture
of M. Emile Zola are about to be sold to
satisfy a judgment of 10000 francs obtained
against him by three handwriting experts
who recently won a libel suit growing out
of the Dreyfus case against the author. The
experts have refused the offer of M. Octave
Mirabeau to be responsible for the amount.
1t is expected that the minister of justice.
M. Sarrien, if he has not already done so,
will issue directions that the rigors of the
imprisonment of Dreyfus be modified, ac-
cording to custom, pending a final decision
in his case, which is now before the court

all day examining the captured Span

been received in Washington from the
Postoflice at New York. BY an order
issued by the Postmaster General all
postmasters throughout the country
are instructed to forward to the de-
partment at Washington all letters
and packages addressed to persons in
Spain. When this order went into eff

ter accumulated in the New York
office and en- route from Cuba bv the

received were delivered to the chief
of the Dead Letter office. Those which
originated in the United States and
bore upon their envelopes the names

Some of the letters were of veri
great Importance TO the military and

and translations are now being made
for the use of Secretary Long and
Secretary Alger. Some of them are
reports made by General Blanco and
other Spanish officers in Cuba to
their superiors in Madrid and relate
to condition of affairs and plans for
the defense of the Island. Others were
written by Spanish spies in this coun-
try and most of them are unimporr-
ant as they contain information that
has been repeatedly published in the
newspapers which would not have
been of any service to Spain. Other
letters from business houses having
connections in Swain contain informa-
ton of more or less Importance. Sew

Secret Service division of the Treasu-
nv Department as they contain clews
that may be useful hereafter.

DIRECTRESS IS BEATEN.
Margaret II. Walks Away From Her
in Three Straight Heats.

In the best three in five race be-
tween Hollingers Margaret II. and
Norton's Directress, at kapiolani
park track, Saturday afternoon, the
former was an easy winner in three
straight heats. In the first she cross
ed the line about ten PAGES ahead of
her competitor, and in the last heats
had leads of at least 80 yards.
The time was: First heat, 1926 1-5;
second heat, 1924 Is; third heat,
1924 2-5. Bagsby drove Margaret H.,
and Jack Gibson held the ribbins ov-
er Directress.
The officers of the day were: Theo.
Hoffman, Seeley Shaw and Captain
Quincy; starter, Captain Cluney; time
keepers, r. II. Davis and DIR. F. L.
Miner.
The race was a complete reversal of
form and an upset for the talent. Di-
rectress had been the favorite all
along among those who like to back
their opinions with their money. IT
is said that fully $1,000 changed hands
on the result of the race.
There is today strong talk OF a
race between Margaret II. and Irish
Lassie for next Saturday afternoon.
