DUKE OF vERAGUA DEAD
Last Descendant Of Christopher Co
lumbus Dies In Madrid.

Madrid. Oct. 31.-The Duke Of Vera
qua. a descendant Of Christopher Co
lumbus and former minister of marine
died here. He was born in 1887.
The duke visited the United States
in 1892 on the occasion Of the Column
bus celebration and was received with
high honors as the representative oil
the family. lie also came TO this coun
try In 1898 TO attend the Worlds Fall
at Chicago
The Duke de Veragua is the thir
teenth In descent from Christopher Co
lumbus.
OF the twenty-nine documents in the
genuine handwriting OF Columbus that
are known to be In existence, sixteen
are in the archives of the late duke
and their value in a historical sense
can hardly be estimated Ten OF these
are letters from Columbus TO his son
Diego. three to Father Gorrlco, one to
Ferdinand and Isabella and two 9th
ers.
Where these priceless literary treas
ures will go Is a problem; doubtless to
the Spanish national collection at the
Louja. in Seville, where there are
thousands Of other manuscripts. un
opened, unexamined. that may revolu
tionize history and clear up many
doubtful points in regard to the life
of Columbus and his contemporaries
In any case the disposition OF these
sixteen manuscripts will be an occur
renee of importance to all photograph
ers, photographers and historians now
that the Duke OF Veragua is dead.
