SANTO DOMINGO: FIRST
LOVE AND LAST RESTING
PLACE OF COLUMBUS

Christopher Columbus, in placing the
great western hemisphere on the map
of the world, left his impress more
deeply on what is now the Dominican
republic than on any other bit of laad
in the New World.
The very name of the capital of the
republic, Santo Domingo, whose ward
ship under the United States has been
under public discussion recently, is n
family affair with the Columbuses.
The great discoverer named for his
father this first permanent city estab-
lished by Europeans in the Americas.
The same name is applied to the ISL
and of which the republic Is a part
almost as commonly as its aboriginal
name. Haiti; and finally the paternal
name is further perpetuated in that
of the republic itself.
The remains of Columbus are be-
lieved by investigators who have ex-
amined the evidence in the case to lie
in the cathedral in Santo Domingo
city. The body of the discoverer was
brought to the island of his early tri-
umphs from Spain, where he died and
was placed beside that of his son
Diego. 1t was thought that the Span
iards removed the remains of Chris
topher Columbus when they trans
ferred sovereignty of the island to the
French in 1T95. 1t appears from later
examinations of the burial vaults of
the cathedral however, that the casket
which was borne in such great state
from Santo Domingo to Havana at the
Of ha LN{ohr.anFl.
from Havana to Spain hundred
years later, contained instead the ashes
of Diego, the son.
The city of Santo Domingo grew to
he wonderful place during the early
days of Spanish dominion, but Colum-
bus did not live to see much of the
development. His son, Diego Colum-
bus, however, engraved the family
name deeper on the city and the coun-
ry of which IT was the capital, setting
up there court of such regal splen-
lor that 1t aroused the envy OF the
Spanish king.
Santo Domingo seemed destined to
become the bustling metropolis of n
Western empire. But 1t became the
victim of exploitation. After turbu-
lent history, during which the native
Indians were exterminated and thou
sands of African slaves were imports
ed, the latter, assisted by mulattO free
men, rose, in the last years of the
Eighteenth century, abolished slavery
and drove their oppressors from the
island. Though the land of the Domin-
lean republic reverted for while to
Spanish control, and later was con-
quered by the republic of Haiti, with
which 1t shares the island, 1t estab-
lished its Independence in 1914 and
has retained Its individuality since.
