OLD VESSELS UNEARTHED.
Excavations at Panama Disclose Relics
of Spanish Days


The excavations which are being made
at the village of NOmbre de Dios. on the
Atlantic coast, will probably bring to
light some interesting relics Of the old
Spanish rule on the Isthmus of Panama.
Nobre de Dios is the place selected by
the canal commission for obtaining the
sand to be used IN the construction of
the concrete work on the big Gatun
locks.
There is big alluvia plain at Nom
bre de Dios, and it is evident from
Spanish charts of 300 years ago that the
plain has greatly increased in size since
then. In fact, parts of the old Spanish
vessels have already been found deeply
embedded III the mud and sand half a
mile or more from the nearest navigable
water.

ment in the Republic of Panama and one
of the oldest in the new world Column.

coast of the isthmus in 1902. explored
the harbor of NOmbre de Dios. but

Eight years later Diego de Nicosea then
governor of Hispaniola (Santo Domingo)
was sent by the Spanish crown to take
possession of the newly discovered coun-
try.
For a good many years in the early
history of the Isthmus Nombre de Dios
was the principal port on the Atlantic
side, and the digging by the Americans
is certain to turn up at least some inter-
esting specimens of the old Spanish sail

1873 per 1000.

handicap upon the children. Stiles says:
