RUINS OF ANCIENT
MONASTERY ARE DISCOVERED

Mexico City, May 3O.-Wans Of
masonry 10 feet in thickness and
containing iron grated windows, be-
Heved TO have been at one time at
least some feet above the surface.
have beeR uncovered 10 feet below the
street level by workmen excavatine
for the foundation of a new hotel in
the business portion of this city.
The walls are believed to be the re-
mains Of the ancient San Francisco
monastery, which, although the exact
period of its existence appears indefin-
lite, is said to have required more than
zoo years TO build
The walls are thought to have grad
ually sunk from their own weight in
the spongy soil which is the bane of
building in Mexico, until they reached
their present depth.
Plans of the old monastery seem TO
show that the portion enclosed by the
uncovered walls was devoted to stables
and warehouses below, while above
was the room in which Father An
tonic Marguil de Jesus, who spent 81
years Of his life as q missionary in
Mexico and Texas, died
