UNEARTHEp IN CUBA.
Two Ancient Paintings Found Bur-
led in n Havana Courtyard

American occupation of Cuba is result
ing in activity in the direction of art.
Americans have been working Havana as
a field, and have made some fine discov-
cries of old paintings by Spanish masters.
One Of the most interesting and valuable
finds was made a few weeks ago. Two
fine specimens from the brush of the
great Spanish artist Goya. who -four
ished in the eighteenth century. were UNI
earthed from the bottom OF "A pile of
rubbish in the corner Of a courtyard of a
cafe on Mercaderes and Teniente Rey
streets. The paintings are large canvases
SIX by eight feet In dimension and the
figures life size Senior Diego. pro-
prietor of one of the large art galleries
IN Obispo Street. Havana. has placed the
paintings ON exhibition and he fixes
their value at $4,000
Goya is recognized by all art con-
noisseurs to have been master in genre
painting. excelling In scenes descriptive
of Spanish life and customs. These
newly discovered canvasses represent a
phase of the society life of the period in
which the artist lived. 1t was no I'M
usual thing during the times of Goya for
cabaleros to take part in the exciting
sport OF bull fighting and the two pict-
ures are illustrative of the tori"
The figures depicted are likeneSSeS of
prominent persons of the Spanish Court
although the only one identified is that
of the Duchess Of d'Alba, who is repre-
scented In the attitude of attention, while
her gaily-dressed cavalier is whispering
in her ear. The duchess is dressed in the
coquettish costume of the century, and is
surrounded by "A group of men -'Vestidos
de toros. and women attircd in silks
and satins, wearing the distinctive lace
mantilla.
About the year 100 the Marquis de AL
mendares, who was the most noted art
collector of the day, bought these two
pictures. paying for them $50 90 francs
The marquis lived in mansion which is
still standing in Compostella Street,
where his gallery of paintings and other
art treasures WAS the envy and admira-
time the marquis died AID his collection
cumstance the two pictures were left in
the cafe on Tenicnte Street where they
adorned the walls for almost "A hundred
years without their value being suspect
ed. The cafe changed hands several
times the pictures were taken down.
stored in the courtyard. and exposed to
the weather and rough usage for many
years. one day they fell under the OBJ
Servatlon Of Faustino Diaz, a Havana art
lover, in search of pictures FOR American
buyers, and he at once recognized their
value. Although painted over "A hundred
years ago their colors are remarkably

on the canvases, hut the value OF the
works of art is thereby not materially
impaired

GYPSY FOLK IN EUROPE.

ten years or so the gypsy folk have felt
the pressure of English law and order Sc

children's education.
The old class of ''ROmauy Raj is in

Hungary used to be considered the par

every 'Zigeuner in Hungary to enter
himself on census papers and other Off

ana some time ago every komitat in
the country petitioned Parliament that
all persons of this class should be COM

commune. The attempt to convert these
wanderers into settled parishioners met
with their strong resistance. and they
eYaded the law wherever possible.

on record in which scientists have been

doubtless recall how the immortal hero
of that work was deceived by the rude
labors of rustic upon a stone. Sir Wal
