In the Colon cemetery at Havana
where the American seamen who per-
ished In the Maine catastrophe ara
buried, in striking contrast to the rev.
erence displayed by Anglo-Saxon peo-
pies for the burial places of their dead,
there has been for more than two CEN
turtles a human bone pit. Exposed to
The glare OF the sun, the mercy of the
rains, there have lain for yeas the
frames Of those who clce lived and
loved says the New York Herald.
This famous pit was first dug by Don
Pedro Valdes, IN the year 1902. and
from that day to this has been the re-
ceptacle for the skeletons of the Gu
ban dead It is 10 feet square and
twenty feet deep filed to the twenty
foot level An eight-foot stone wall
ineloses 1t from the morbidly curious,
and in external appearance It resem-
bles al antiduated Spanish fortress or
