RUINS
Of A HITHERTO
UNKNOWN CITY

New York, Sept. 11.-William III. Saville.
professor OF technology at Columbia uni
versity, who has returned from a trip to
Reudor. said that he had discovered the
ruins OF cities near the coast which con-
tained many evidences OF a race hitherto
unknown 10 present day scientists. The
professors researches extend along the
Pacific coast about 80 miles 10 the north
and about the same distance 10 the south
OF the equator. Some where between these
points and to a distance OF about 100
miles inland he found evidences OF a city
OF antiquity.
The city. he said, had streets lined with
houses OF skilful construction. Though the
dwellings had been made OF light materi-
al sort OF palmetto or thatch. they had
been constructed evidently with a view TO
withstanding the shocks OF the frequent
earthquakes OF the region. and were In
tact. In them were found utensils for
cooking and other domestic purposes.
made OF pottery. wood and the like. Prof.
Saville said he believed the city had con-
tained 5000 or more people five hundred
years ago. In his opinion the race was OF
the highest in civilization living in Amer
lea previous to the coming Of Columbus.
