Nj. Flagler, January Do brought Cuba
several hours nearer to the United States.
For many miles the course of this unique
railroad lies over salt water, and at sew
eral points on the line passengers are
actually out of sight Of land. To Mr..
Flagler and his engineers has come the
reward of success in the face OF what at
first seemed to be overwhelming odds.
In their contest with the elements steel
and iron proved to be efficient allies,
and even the mari beds of the coral
reefs yielded their tribute of cement
which went into the structure raised far
above the tide level to support the rails. ?

light was admitted. There is now quite a
luxuriant growth around the walls OF TINS
ancient cavity.
The object of this seasons excavations,
Col. Hawley explained to our correspond
ent, was to outline the old cathedral
situate in the outer bailey. l. e., the cir
cular tract of land around the fortress.
This has been nearly completed, and the
cruciform shape of the walls, beneath
which Col Hawley thinks is probably the
still older cathedral of st. Osmund, is
clearly visible. when I first began this

Ancient Cathedral Remains.
the actual wall, and got beneath the turf
excavation of the floor of the building Is
reserved for next summers operations.
The uncovering of the remains of the
walls of both transepts and both sides OF
the choir proceeded rapidly. Near the
southwest corner Is obviously the main
door of the cathedral. but there are other
entrances. Upon the other side flight
of steps is to be seen. Eleven stone steps
have been uncovered, but there are prob
ably more. A curious feature is small
err stone staircase running at right angles
to this flight Of eleven steps. and 1t is
thought the smaller staircase was con-
structed to lead to a WindoW-the walls
of the building at this spot forming a
right angle. A remarkably fine piece OF
wall with plinth and bastion is to be
seen on the east side Of the north tran
sept. In places the foundations. cut down
to the hard chalk. have been revealed.
Recently the skeleton of a man. evil
IDENTIFY an ecclesiastic of note, was found
marble. Plenty of tombs We're found
along the southwest transept, but they
were covered over. There are evidences
that many years ago the burial ground
was rudely disturbed and the remains
jumbled together in hopeless confusion.
Col. Hawiey has been particularly care
full that these and other remains should
be treated with reverence and respect.
When come upon they have been collected
and buried in a spot where they are not
likely to be again disturbed. The skele-
ton found in the Purbeck marble coffin
was that of a man of unusual stature,
greater than the person for whom the
coffin was apparently intended. and the
marble sides had been Clipped away to
allow of the body being placed therein.
The skeleton was reinterred. and the
coffin a unique specimen, will probably
be conveyed to Salisbury and placed in
the cathedral cloisters.
