Embassy, Paris.
Dear Mr. VignauG:-I have been
continuing my examination of the
cathedral here and the remaining ar
chives, as we'll as my communications
with the surviving eye.witnesses of the
1877 exhumation. | am satisfied that
there could have been no fraud and
that the bones taken TO Havana in
1895 were not those of Christopher Co
lumhus.
f'I have often wondered why Luis
Colon, third admiral, did not avail
himself of the permission given in the
royel cedula of 1887 to bury his mother
in the cathedral presbvterY beside her
husband. He did not, for the only
burials in the preshytery, as revealed
by the latest excavations, were of

man bones, but bore no inscription, as
already emphasized.
After the priests had examined the
box aud verified the bones as having
for the most part. been reduced TO
ashes, the wall was at once recon
structed. 1t WAS then remembered that

fThe main defect.in most of the pa
pers hitherto published in thc premises
is that they werc written without any
adequate knowledge or examination of
the cathedral itself For example, Gu.
bans and Spaniards-even members OF
the Historical Academy-have written
in good faith a whole LOT about the
supposed monument or inscription,
which they think must have been
placed over the bones when they we're
deposited in the preshytery As q mat
ter of fact, a monument could not be
placed on the presbytery floor without
removing the great altar, and this was
never done.
II am also satisfied that the leaden
box found in 1877 contained not only
the authentic bones, but fragments OF
an older hox-presumably the original
one in which they were brought from
Spain. The box Of 1877 is certainly Of
the seventeenth century. Columbus 8
grave had not been opened from date
several years prior to 1868 until l67f.
The cement. which has been micro
scopieally examined, proves this.
