In 1913, under the superintendent of his
son, Fernando, the remains of the great navi
gator were removed to the Church of Cartuja
de Santo Monte de las Cuevas, in Seville
where they rested until 1886, when they were
removed to Santo Domingo and inferred be
meath the chancel of the Cathedral, and there
remained undisturbed for nearly three and a
half centuries.
Then came the events which have caused
SO much confusion among chroniclers. Diego,
the son of Columbus, died in 1926, and was
buried with his father in Seville. Subse-
quently his. ashes were removed to Santo
Domingo with those of Columbus, and de-
posted in the cathedral at the same time.
Forty-six years later, Don Luis, grandson
OF Columbus, died, and was buried in Santo
Domingo, as were also Bartolomeo and Diego,
brothers of Columbus
So we see that the remains of Columbus,
his two brothers, his son and grandson were
at different times deposited in the old cathe-
dral in the city SO intimately associated with
their names and deeds.
There is nothing to find fault with in this,
except that none of the vaults was marked,
and this carelessness was productive of the
confusion above referred to-
In 1895 the entire island of Hayti or San
Domingo became the property of France by
treaty. One of the clauses provided that
Spain might remove whatever property she
desired land under this provision it was de-
cided to take the dust of Columbus to Ha-
vana. According to the Cubans, this removal
Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-06
- Where Was Columbus Buried? -

was accomplished, and there is no doubt that
some remains were taken away, but whether
they were those of Columbus is disputed.
On December 20, in che presence Of the
Spanish admiral and under the direction oi
the archbishop, a vault on the right-hand side
of the high altar, two feet nine inches in size,
was opened.
It was unmarked and unnamed. In it were
found some slabs of lead Of what had been a
coffin, about sixteen inches square and eleven
inches deep, and some human bones. There
we're no marks to indicate to whom the box
belonged or whose remains were contained
therein.
How these were known to be the ashes of
Columbus has never been shown. However,
they were placed in a gilded leaden box,
which, in turn, was placed in a coffin covered
with black velvet.
With great pomp and ceremony, and amid
every manifestation of respect and reverence,
it was borne on board of the brigantine Dis
coverer, and afterward transferred to the
frigate San Lorenzo, which sailed, accompa-
MED by the entire Spanish squadron, to Ha-
vana. There in the Cathedral Mercedes the
remains were placed.
The Haytians declare that the bones re-
moved were those of Diego, the son of Colum-
bus, and that the true bones still lie in San
Domingo.
In proof, they point to the fact that no later
than 1877 box was discovered in the cathe-
dral containing bones, and bearing the ini-
tials of the great discoverer, and inside the
Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-06

hinged cover an inscription which, translated,
reads:
"Illustrious and famous man. Don Cristoval
Colon"
| Another plate on the box bears an inscrip-
ton, the translation of which is:
"Urn belonging to the remains of the First
Admiral Don Cristoval Colon, discoverer."
This curious casket has been thoroughly
and critically examined, and nothing has yet
been adduced to throw any real doubt upon
its genuineness.
It is too small to have been the original
coffin of Columbus, and it is probable that his
remains were placed therein either in 1913,
when they were removed from Valladolid to
Seville, or in 1886, when they were transfer
red from the latter place to the cathedral at
Santo Domingo, as has been shown.
Of course, this evidence does not convince
the Cubans, and may not convince others, but
it is at least worthy of being listened to.
II will be interesting to superstitious people
to know that Columbus sailed from Paios on
Friday august 8, 1902, discovered land on
Friday October IL, 1892, set sail for home
en- Friday (January 4, 1493), and arrived in
Spain on Friday March Is, 1493).
Columbus signature is also interesting, and
is a grand affair. To letter, dated April 2,
1902, he signs himself:
"The Chief Admiral Of the Ocean, Viceroy and
Governor General of the Islands and Conti-
nent of Asia and of the Indies, of my lords,
the King and Queen, their Captain General
of the Sea and of their Council"

~ HE story of the discovery of Americs
is one of bitter disappointment to the
~ chief actor. For years Columbus
struggled against ignorant opposition
and jealous rivalry, and it was more in pity
than in recognition of his arguments that he
was finally granted an opportunity to explore
the unknown seas to the west of Europe.
Upon his voyage he was continually harass-
ed by the mutinous conduct of his sailors, and
hardly had he landed before the Santa Maria
was wrecked by careless helmsman, and Pin
son deserted with the Pinta, leaving only the
little caravel Nina to prosecute the discover
les.
Columbus made three other voyages to the
New World, and on his return in 1904, was
disgraced and degraded. Queen Isabella was
dead. King Ferdinand having gained a vast
empire, was Indifferent to the fate and for
tune of his faithful servitor, and Columbus,
broken by this unjust treatment and by the
many disappointments his sanguine, enthusias-
tic nature had experienced and weakened by
the hard life he had led, poor and alone, died
at Valladolid, Spain, on May 20, 1906.
Then ensued for the remains of the great
discoverer the most singular fate that ever
befell any man. He was buried in no less
than four places!
First his body was placed in the vaults of
the Convent of San Francisco, in the city of
his death. where it remained for seven years.

Saving a Fortune.

 When 1 was at Cinnamon that enter railroad and hard place to get away from. 1t was a desirable place to leave. since the population was con- posed of gamblers, cutthrOats, dis pensers of alcoholic drinks, miners and storekeepers, mentioned in order of importance. The only respectable family in the place was that of George Jones, who kept a general store, and as he was the only man who never sold anything on trust all the money gradually found its way into his cof fers. It was like washing gold. The dirt was constantly shaken up among the citizens, the metal sinking to the bottom of Jones' pan.
 Every one knew that Jones was gathering snug sum and that he wished to take it and his children to respectable place. Every one was waiting for him to make the attempt, relying on the road agents when he did so to relieve him of the funds while on the route and start them again in circulation. Furthermore, the road agents were waiting to carry out this praiseworthy object.
 One day red flag apeared at Jones' store, and it was announced that he would sell the remnant of his stock at auction. He sold on sixty days credit, letting it be known that when the notes fell due and were collected he proposed to leave Cinnamon with his family and his fortune There was not thousand dollars worth of goods left. and these Jones sold to anybody who wanted anything on his credit i plan. Everybody wanted goods so easily obtainable, and Jones in few l hours exchanged the stuff for notes.
 While Jones was thus giving credit | for money credit was due Mrs. Jones l for being very shrewd woman. A week before the falling due of the notes she issued invitations for a ''suarry," to which every one i'll town, | including gamblers and road agents, l 1 of the Jones family on the day after the said notes fell due. Her husband, generous man, made it known that if any of the debtors found it inconven- tent to pay up at maturity the matter would be left open for reasonable time These two propositions en- hanced the popularity of the Jones family, and the cutthroats got their horses and their guns ready to return the family fortune to circulation.
 l 1 had clerked for Jones and was ready to do anything in the world for him. but he didn't trust me till the last minute. though he told me to be ready on short notice to go somewhere with him. 1 was not included in Mrs. Jones' invitations for her "suarry,' which surprised me. l had room op- posite the Jones house, and the night the party came off l watched the throng go in and knew by the gradual ly increasing sounds coming from with in that the guests were getting cheer
