I didn'i know that he knew you at sillâ€"Yonkensutelmn. There is the story told in brief. but the true story. with all essentin: facts. Where do you think the bones of the great explorer are M rest? In San Domingo or Havana? Within the case were iound several well-preserved human bones, a bullet. and a silver plate containtng the titles at the first Columbus. It is a singu- lar fact that when Christopher Coâ€" lumbus was buried there was in his bbdy I bullet received by him in bat- tle in Africa. a bullet which often caused him much pain during his life time; and there was a bullet found in this cofiin. In 1877, while workmen were re- pairing the chancel of the. cathedral at San Domingo, another vault was discovered at the left of the altar. The inscriptions discovered disclosesk the fact that this was the grave of the grandson of the first (‘0- llumbus. Then it was remembered jthat the entire original Columbus jfnmily had been there interred. The workmen sounded the pavement and found the empty vault referred to. which had contained the body transferred to Havana. They also dis- covered another vault, close to the wall of the cathedral. and this con- tained a welereserved leaden casket with the inscription, “D. de In A.. per Ate."~which means, “Discoverer of America; first admiral." Inside the lid were inscribed the words: "Illtre y Es‘do Varon, Du. Cristoval Colon." The case was inscribed at the right end with the letter “A;" while on the left end appeared the letter “C." So far. so good. Nobody doub‘ed that the work had been done efficient~ 1y. correctly and faithfully. But many good stories have sequels; and some- times the sequel: are the more in- teresting. to ‘he cathedral and placed in a mu- ral niche, to the right of the presby- tery. The remains having been im- mured and sealed. a marble tablet wan affixed. marking the place forever. Acting according to tradition. the. pavement was broken on the “gospel side" of the alter. a vault was found. leaden plates and fragments of bone. with considerable dust. These were carefully and reverently gathered to- gether. and transferred to Havana on the man-ot-war San Lorenzo. With great ceremoniel. with pageantry and with pomp the remains were carried But the fact would have tVC!‘ re- mained undisputed that the bones of Columbus were there, somewhere in that cathedraL but for the interven- tion of what iscallcd "Spanish pride." When San Domingo was ceded ‘0 France, in 1795. it was concluded that as a matter of “Spanish pride" it would never do to permit the bones of Colum- bus rest under the folds of an alien flag. ”Consequently. Duke dc Verngua. a lineal dellcendnnt of Columbus. and a.- admin-l in the Spanish nnvy, was sent :0 remove the remains to H.- vana. the generallymdmitted facts of hi.- tory. It is known. however. that the body was placed beneath the pave- ment of the presbytery. at the right of the high altar. All records con- cerning the ceremony of interment were destroyed by Sir Francis Drake. in the seventeenth century. when he bombarded and sucked .vthe capital. The tomb was covered with earth, and all traces of it lost for fully 280313”, the history being preserved solely by local tradition. iallegcd by the Dominicans to have iccntalned the remains of Columbus was nearer the wall, immediately against its foundation. Concerning the.. the question 01 the prelent testâ€" ing place of the bones of Columbus. I may be permitted to add that I declare in favor of San Domingo." The controversy came about in this way: Christopher Columbus died in 1506, at Valladoiid, and was there in- terred. A few years later the body was taken to the conVent of Las Cuevas. where it remained until 1540. when, at the request of the widow of his son, the body waa taken to San Domingo. the island of his first dis- covery. It was the request of Colum~ bus, in his last will, that his body be itaken across the ocean and finally lsepultured in the convent of Concep- cior. fie la Vega, which had been found~ ed by him. That convent was de strayed by an earthquake. nnd tho- body of Columbus was placed in a vault of the capital cathedral which‘ was then being completed. In the year . 1549 the archbishop of San Domingo wrote: "The tomb of Don Cristobal Colon, where are his bones, is much \enerated in this cathedral." This proves that the bones were there, but there is no record of their transfer across the ocean. It is one 01 THE LEADER CASE. ”an aanprnllvun‘imiie-d fant- It! kin. THIS! llUDl 3U5-JT.
