HISTORIC c0AT-0F-ARMS.
For Fifty-seven Years IL Hung over
the Oldest Market In
Havana.

Alderman II. J. Zayas, Of Helena,
Mont, was recently the recipient at
the hands of Cuban friends, in recogni-
ton of his services in behalf Of that Is
land, of large number OF relics, one
of which, Spanish coat-of-arms, pos
sesses q very interesting history. This
coat-of-arms, says the Chicago Times
Herald, hung for 81 years over the
Oldest market in Havana, known as the
Plaza vieja. 1t was secured through
the courtesy of Mayor Perfecto Lacoste'
Alfredo Zayas and onofre Gomez, the
latter two councilmen.
On March 81, 1895, at tho beginning
OF the last revolution, It was taken
down and thrown into the street by q
Cuban named Jose Gonzalez. he was
captured after a hard chase and shot
the next morning, at Cabanas, for the
crime Of insulting the Spanish crown
Seventeen years previous Spanish
colonel was detailed by the captain
general to inspect all the Spanish
property within the city limits. On
entering the Plaza Vieja the colonel OBJ
served that the crown was entangled In
cobwebs and ordered the porter Of the
market to clean It. A ladder was i'm
mediately secured, while the colonel
stood under watching that the work
should be thoroughly done, and while
10 directing the copper wire parted
which held the crown in position and
struck Colonel Ramon Perez Novai
over the temple, breaking his skull and
killing him instantly. The porter was
sent to the carcel UaiD and died there
about Q year ago.
