proof that the skeletons are those Of
members of the historical Naryaez ex-
petition, which was shlpwrecked on
Malhado Island, near Galveston island,
about 1885.
Narvaez and eight men came to the

in the vicinity of Galveston island and
the remainder of the party, led by
Cabeza De Yaea, started westward In

their trip to California, but the discov-
cry of the skeletons, together with the
relics bearing the name of Naryaez and

ct least five Princes of the Church who have
equal chance. One of the most likely, however,
is Cardinal Svampa. who has some drawbacks,
such as his age-he is only fifty-and one great
advantage. his name. which means flame"
In the superstitious minds of most of the Car
dinals and their followers, the predictions which

made in the sixteenth century, have value

motto for each future Pope. There are just ten
of these notices left. so that according to the
infallible prophet the Papacy has not many
more centuries of life before it. odd as il may
seem, they have usually been perfectly appca-
bic. For instance. that of Plus VI was 'Pere-
srinuS ApostOlicus," and his pontiticate
tainly a series of peregrinations. Plus XIs
"CruX de Cruce." which we'll characterized the
crosses in his life. That of the present Pontiff
is 'Lumen in Cello" which is finely applicable
either to his powerful mind to his blameless
life. The next in the list Of prophecies Is ''Ignis
Ardens ardent fire.. which might apply 10
any one of three Cardinals, Oreglia di Santo
Stefano. who has blazing altar in his coat Of
arms; Gotti, who boasts a torch in his, and
SVampa, whose arms show dog with a burning
torch in his mouth. However. Cardinal SVampa
has other and more significant claims to the
motto. His very name means flame and when

of Forli is the Madonna of the Fire who
gained her name through what called

were in a large palace, caught fire, and the en-
tire buildng was destroyed with the exception
of a picture of the Virgin which was not even
sirged. The picture ''mraCulouSly' saved

THE POPE IN HIS OLD AGE.
WHO NAY SUCCEED LEO NIII-THE
CHANCES OF CARDINAL SVAMPA.

rrpoM A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBuSE.l
Rome March 5.-Having occasion at the end Of
the old century TO look through the accumulated
newspapers of years. / was struck by the fact
that even as far back as fifteen years ago
Leo XIII was expected to die, If not from day To
dav at least from month TO month There were
reports of his sudden Illness and even of his
death followed by denials. with. in some quar-
ters. a sigh OF relief, and in others feeling
which was certainly not satisfaction; for the
iIustrious head of the Roman Catholic Church
has occupied the position so long that the opin-
ion is vaguely felt in certain circles that
change would be we'll.
Now although Leo XIII is for him, quite well,
his age is advanced, and the conclave for the
election Of his successor cannot be far off. This
is realized by the Sacred College keeping Its
members on the alert, and giving rise TO a
rather unusual amount OF intrigue and a dis
tinct feeling Of unrest among those who are
Papabii candidates for the Papacy) and their
immediate supporters. Many anecdotes are told
about the clear perception of the Pontiff of this
state of things. Although advanced in age, his
faculties are only sharpened by the passage Of
time. Perhaps the best of them are the two fol-
lowing:
One day he was really ILL., and the Chamberlain

That such things should seriously affect the
election of one who TO the electors is Christs
Vicar earth seems almost impossible to be-
lieve, but there is TO doubt that il is so. and
that Cardinal Svampa may some day sit in the
