VIM. E CURTIS, writing from Lon
don TO the Washing ton Star says:
Speaking of distingut she'd Arnori
cans, reminds me that there has been
active inquiry here Of late concerning
the whereabouts Of the remains of the
first American princess. Pocahonuas
wards became Mrs. John Rolfe. She
was the mother Of a considerable por-
ton Of the present population Of Vir-
ginia and also has several prominent
descendants on this aide Of the water,
including Lieut.. Gen. Baden. Powell,
Inspector general Of cavalry in the
British army. The present inquiry
seems to have been inspired by the
approaching celebration of the 3O0th
anniversary of the settlement of
Jamestown, Va, and the Jamestown
exposition. An association of women
has apparently undertaken to recover
the dust Of LA Belle Savage" as
she was called by admiring Europeans
upon her first appearance In London,
and rebury 1t In her native country,
after the manner in which John Paul
Jones has recently been honorcd.
1t will be very DIN suit and, indeed
impossible to crafty their ambitious

dust Of Pc cahontas WAS destroyed by
fire nearly 200 years ago. Mr.. Henri

taken great interest In everything

waiting for q vessel to return to Vir-

entry OF that fAot. The church, how

1920 and rebuilt in 1881. During the
