DID THE CHINESE
DISCOVER AMERICA

Monterey, Mexico, Nov. 16.-The re-
port that American officers have un-
earthed ancient records in Pekin, show
ing that the Chinese discovered Ameri-
ca 1,5OO years ago, and erected tenn
pies in Mexico, has aroused the great
est interest among the scientific men of
Monterey and throughout this country.
The Chinese temples alluded TO are in
the state of Sonora. on the Pacihc
coast. The ruin of one of the temples
was discovered near the town of Ures,
in that state, about two years ago.
One of the large stone tablets found
in the ruins was discovered with
carved Chinese characters, which We're
partly deciphcrcd by learned China
man who visited the ruins mt the re-
quest of the Mexican government. This
Chinaman made the assertion at the
time that the ruins were those of n
temple which was erected many CEN
turtles ago by Chinese, but his state
ment was not received with credence.
1t has been long Claimed that the In
dians of the state of Sonora are the
descendants of those early Chinese set
tiers. They possess many traditions
and characteristics of the Chinese. If
the report of the finding of these rec
ords in Pekin is verified, an expedition
will go from here to explore further
the ancient temples of Sonora.
