WHERE WASCOLUMBUS BURIED?
BY THOMAS PARKE GORDON.
The story of the discovery of America
is one of bitter disappointment to the
chief actor. For years Colnmbus s'rug-
gled against ignor-nt opposition nnd
jealous rivalry, and it was more in pity
than 1a recognition of his srgument«
that he was finally granted an oppor
tunity to explore the unknown seas to
the w: st of Furope.
Upon his voyage he was contin ally
harassed by the mutinous conduct of
his sailors, and hardly had he landed
before the Santa Maria was wrecked
by a careless bhelmsman, and Pinzon
deserted with the Pinta, leaving only
the little caravel Nina to prosecute the
discoveries.
Columbus made three other voyages
to the New World, and on his retnrn
in 1504, was d sgraced and degraded.
Queen Isabella was dead. King Fer-
dinand having gained a vast empire
was ind ferent to the fate and fortune
of his faithful servitor, and Columbus,
broken by this unjust treatment and
by the many disappointments his san-
guine, enthusiastic nature had experi-
enced, and weakened by the hard Life
he bad led. pror and alone, died at
Valladolid, Spain, on M y 20t.,, 1506,
Then ensued for the remains of the |
great discoverer the most singular fate
that ever befell sny man. He was
buried in no less than four places!
First bis body was placed in the
vaults of the Convent of San Francisco,
in the city of his death, where it re-
mained for seven years
In 1513, under the superintendence
of bis son, Fernando,.the remeinsof the
great navigator were removed to the
Church of Cartuja de Banto Monie d
las Cuevas, in where they
rested until 1596, when they were re
moved to Santo Domingo and in
terred beneath the chancel of ti
thedral, and remained un
turbed for nearly three anda
turies,

Bo we see that th
inmbas, his two brothers hus f
grand on were at different times de
posited in the old eathedral in the city
so intimately associated with the
names and deeds. i
There is nothing to find fault with |
in this, except tha’ none of the vanlts
were marked. and this carelessness was
productive of the confusion above re- i
ferred to. |
In 1795 the entire island of Hayti or |
Ban Domingo became the property of
¥r: nce by treaty. One of the clauses
provided that Spain might remove
whatever property she desired, and
under this provision it was decided to |
take the dust of Columbus to Havana.
Aecording to the Cubans, this remov 8] |
was accomplished, and there is no!
doubt that soms remains were taken |
away, but whether they were those of
Colambus is disputed.
On December 20th, in the presence
of the Spanish admiral and under the
direction of the archbishop, a vanlt on |
the right-hand side of the high altar, |
two feet nine inches in maze, was
opened,
It was unmarked and unn med. In
it were found some slabs of lead of
what had been a yi fin, about sixte on
inches square and eleven inches des Ps
and some human bones. There were
no marks to indicate to whom the box
belonged or to whose remains were con-
tained therein,
How these were known fo be the
ashes of Columbus has never been
shown. However. they were placed in
an gilded leaden box, which, in turn,
was placed in a coffin covered with
black velvet.
With great pomp and ceremony, and
amid every manifestation of respect
and reverence, it was borne on board |
of the brigantine Discoverer, and af- |
terward transferred to the frigate San |
Lorenzo, which sailed, accom panied
by the entire Spanish squadron, to
Havana. There in the cathedral, on |
the right of the altar, the remains were |
Pp
The Haytians declare that the bones |
removed were those of Diego, the son
of Columbus, and that the true bones |
etill lie in San Domingo.
In proof, they point to the fact that
no later than 1897 box was discovered
in the cathedral containing bones, and
bearing the initials of the great discoy- i
erer, and inside the hinged cover an
insoription which, translated, reads: |
“INustrious and famous man, Don Oristoval
Colon.”
Another plate on the abeve bears an |
Inscription, the translation of which is: |
“Um belonging to the remains of the First
Admiral Don Cristoval Colon, dscoverer.” !

able that his remains were |
therein either in 1513, when Shot wer
removed from Vallado'id to le, or
in 1586, when they were transferred
from the latter place to the cathedral |
at Sunto Domingo as has iven shown,
Of ¢ urse this evidence does not con- |

It will be interesting to superstitions

from Palos on I'ri lay (August 3, 1192), |
discovered land on Friday (October 12,
1492), set sail for home on Friday |
(January 4, 149%, and arnved in|
Spain on Frilav ( March 15, 1493).

“I suppose not,” said Unele John,

yesterday I read about a man who
shot five hundred and forty ducks in |
one day's hunt, and seemed to think he
deserved great credit for the feat. One
duck was all he needed for himself; the
rest he killed ‘for fun.’ In the same
reckless manner, fishermen muse nets
with a very small mesh and estoh mil-
lions of fish for which they have no!
use and which are loft to die on the
land. In many cases, this wanton waste
bas resalted in making barron streams
where fish formerly swarmed. To such
an extent has this waste been carried
that now it is n for the gov-
ernment to stock the streams and
stringent laws to protect the small
