They are to be taken back to Spain, along with the handsome nausoleum which was sent over from in, after the 400th anniversary of the of the new world, for the pur- pose of containing them, and the monument which was erected in a prominent position in Havana in memory of Columbus. But It is not at all certain that Spain really has possession of the bones of the immortal discoverer or has ever had them since 1 Both Havana and San Domingo have claimed the honor of possession and 4 has never succeeded in making her title absolutely clear. Columbus, as will be remembered, died in Valladolid and was buried in that city. The ‘remains were afterward removed to Seville, but about . in accordance with the provisions of will of Columbus, were taken to the d of San Domingo and placed in the Columbus bad expressed a pref- ce for the Convent of Concepcion de la sa, but it is fortunate that his wishes Were not carried out to the letter, for the discovery Ha | Ax a News and Advertising | aose | ‘ants then it is time ; sick if they saw dumb | | these | Shall probably get what we convent was long since destroyed by earth- quakes. in 1795, when San Domingo was ceded to France, the niards resolved that the bones of Columbus an alien flag ard should never lie under decided to remove them to Havana. panish officials to whom this duty legated firmiy ‘believed that they had performed this duty when they found a vault containing fragments of a leaden cz s uch as Columbus was placed before his last voyage from Spain, con- taining human dust and bones. These were taken to Havana and reinterred with fit- i remonies. There was no trace of an insertption about the leaden casket or other evidence to show beyond a question that were the remains that had been sought. On the contrary, it is more than likely that they were not, for, in 1877, another vault in the cathedral was u: earthed which contained a similar casket. On the lid of this was the inseripti D. de la A., per Ate."—Discoverer of America: First Admiral. On the inside of the lid was the inscription “Illtre. y Es'do Varon, Dn. Cristoval Colon.” This discovery led a great many pe ple to believe that this was really the tomb of Columbus and that the bones which Spain had removed to Havana were really those of Don Diego, a son of Columbus. The Royal Academy of Madrid instituted an inquiry which, of course, re- sulted in sustaining the Havana theory. Some years ago Mr. F. A. Ober, of this city, Who was spending considerable time among the West Indies in the interests of ihe ¢ nbian exposition, made a thorough investigation of the subject and came to the conclusion that the claims of San Do- mingo rested upon a more satisfactory basis than did those of Havana. In a formal report to the United States government on the subject, Mr. Ober said: “The conclusion reached by the Spanish rademy is that ‘the remains of Cristoval » in the cathedral of Havana, in of the glorious banner of Cas- It is most fitting that over sepulcher waves the same flag. that sailed with him from Palos in the Santa * * * There rest the bones of the admiral of the Indies; there is his last de. * * # sincerely desire to assent to this opin- ion, feeling it were indeed most fitting that the ashes of Columbus shouid repose under the flag he carried to the new world; but, after having sifted the evidence ‘care- after having seen the spot selected the admiral! for his last abode; after having examined witnesses who were pres- t the ¢ y of the casket: after riptions and inspecting the s { am forced to admit that Dominicans have a much stronger case than the Havanese. “The error of the Spaniards, in 1795, lay in their igne nee of the fact that there were two vaults closely contiguous: that only a few inches from the one they opened was another, which was the one they were seeking. Both vaults were under the chancel, both were on the ‘Gospel side,’ but that alleged by the Dominicans to ‘have contained the remzins of Columbus was nearer the wall, immediately against Its foundations.

Tke stories being distributed from Euro- pean capitals just now about the stand Spain’s peace commissioners will take re- specting the Philippines may be received with very good allowance. When not de- signed for “feelers'’ they represent only contributions to current gossip, of which the reading world demands at all times a hberal supply. The truth is that there is nobody competent to speak definitely on the subject. The Spanish statesmen them- selves are awaiting developments. They know that they are very far from being masters of the situation, and must take their cue somewhat from the victorious Americans who will face them at the coun- cil table. With something of the same caution also should be received the statements respect- ing definite American demands. Nobody in authority and in position to furnish infor- mation is at present at liberty to discuss the subject. And, moreover, there are reasons for believing that the American case is not as yet fully made up; and, of course, until it is complete and ready for formal preszntation it wiil remain iiable to such changes as in the opinion of the Pres- ident and his advisers here and our com- missioners in Paris may best serve Amer- | ican interests. There are two phases of the general proposition. both highly important from the American standpoint, and both calling for the fullest information obtainable. We want from General Merritt as to the commercial and strategic value of the Philippines. He is en his way from Manila to Paris, and the bearer, there is good right to believe, of valuable statistics collected and approved by Admiral Dewey. That information so presented and so indorsed will have weight in the case is altogether likely. When our terms are presented we shall hear from Spain on the subject of her aspi- rations and purposes. If only the Island ef Luzon is detached, what could she do and what would she attempt with the re- mainder of the group? The future must necessarily be made as safe as possible. We have such knowledge of Spain as a near neighber, and know her to be not only 80 bad # governor, but now so poor in that the stiffest terms will be in But the commission to settle all this is on the eve of organizing, and mere speculation need not much disturb us now. Tue coun- try has full confidence im the President, and what is done at Paris under hés direction is reasonably certain of acceptance here. —— = Mr. Cleveland ts said to be engaged in another real estate speculation.

At the close of the civil war conditions in the south, social, commercial, ang po- tical, were ali but chaotic. The old order of things had be:n completely overturned. The ravages of a long conflict were to be seen on every hand. Plantations were in ruins, business was at the lowest pos- sible ebb, and great numbers of peopl> were in the saddest straits. And, to add to the general distress, those upon whose shoulders the old order had rested gay2 way to a period of great depression of spirits. They were reiuctant to accept the new order—reluctant to face the in>vitable and to recognize what it called for. Many of them were disfrarchised by reason of their participation in the struggle against the Union and could do but Uttle. And so it was that at a time when th: south stood in need of the counsels of her men of firmest character and best intelligence she was deprived of their services through the joint operation of their discourage- ment and ipabfiity to act. ~ The field left thus open was not ne- giected, but, unfortunately for the south, vas improved by many unworthy men. Adventurers flocked to the scene, and rioted In an excaptional opporiunity. In THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, several states they organized the newly enfranchised blacks, and, against the in- terests of the blacks themselves, enter2d upon what was little better than a cam- paign of pillage. The blacks were inex- perienced in matters of busin2ss, and in the responsibilities of citizenship, and be- came a prey of the very systems they were employed to help 2stablish. No peo- ple ever stood in greater need of good ad- vice and leadership, and yet in many in- stances they fell at the vary outset under the most malign influences, through the neglect of those capable of advising and leading them. The old leaders in the south Iooked on for a few years, but with a growing reali- zation of the difficulty and their duty, and at last they resolved to act. They saw that longer abdication of leadership on the part of thos? who had the greatest stake in the south and were the best prepared for leadership meant irretrievabie ruin to the whole section. But abuses had now gone so far that only force could remedy them, and the exercise of force would of itself entail other abuses. But force was resorted to, and a new controi established. New abuses followed in its train. The shotgun, the tissue ballot, the cick ballot box, and, laier, the Mississippi pian of amending a state constitution, ali piayed their several parts in a drama ful! of raor tification and heavy cost to the south, and helped delay the return of order and pros- perity many years. How greatiy the south would have benefited by the policy of those who advocated a prompt acceptance of all the results of the war is, ef course, a mat- ter of opinion, but they are regarded in many quarters now as having been the wisest of the southern men of that day. The men of Cuba ought to study this chapter of history diligently. It is big with instruction fer them. Aa old order has been overthrown there, and a new one is to rise in its place. Intelligence and charac- ter, as everywhere, must rule. ‘There must be and will be leaders of the people. Un- like in the south, nobody will labor under any political disability. Let everybody teke a hand, therefore, at the very outset. No sulking. No leaving the field cpen. No neglect of political duty until force and fraud become factors in the equation. Cu- be’s future is in Cuban hands, and—if it is in order to paraphrase and app! an his- toric sentiment—the United States expects every Cuban to do his duty. —__+ e+ ____ Mayor Van Wyck can boast that there is no doubt concerning his residence.

His Sense of Duty. “Do you fully appreciate,” asked the earnest citizen, “the duty which every man owes to his country “Well,” said Senator Sorghum, apologet- ically, “I’m getting a little rusty on that subject. You see, it’s a good many years since I had anything to do with revenue collecting.” The Boast of the Bashfal. “I have escaped,” the hero cried, “A peril few have missed, I got, it’s true, A shot or two, But I haven't yet been kissed.” e Distrustfal. “Why don’t you look at the new post of- fice clock when you want to know what time it is?” asked the friend. “Maybe it's a mistaken idea,” answered the man who harbors suspicions; “but when I think of how long it took to get started I can't help think it must be hurrying now to make up for lost time.” Comparison, “Just think of having to live on hard- tack and quinine!’ exclaimed the private who is disposed to sympathize with himself. answered the man who was at- tached to the medical corps, “I dunno's that bill of fare is so much worse than some of the food for reflection we are getting now." “One o’ de hahdes’ pahts ob a man’s edu- cation,” said Uncle Eben, “is fohgettin’ a lot o’ no ‘count things dat he tuck vallyble time to learn.” The Race. They're off! It’s the new generation, Each eager a record to make; To win the applause of a nation Or pocket a liberal stake. New names on the card are appearing; New hands reach to govern the reins; New voices resound in the cheering ‘Phat echoes afar o'er the plains. They're off! And already we're scanning ‘The list for a proud pedigree, Or a speedy “outsider” who's planning To shatter some favorite’s glee. But the bunch, as they run, will grow thinnish; We'll miss the once mettlesome host. A few will be in at the finish And a lot will get left at the post. ——__ + +2 —___ Pay Them Until the End. From the Chicago Chronicle. ‘Abolish the petty war taxes,” says an tera paper. If Spain, by accepting the results of the war in the coming peace con- ference, gives assurance that the war is over this may be, and no doubt will be, aone with entire safety. Until that fact is demonstrated, however, It will be just as well for the government to hold itself in a position to renew and prosecute the war with whatever vigor may be necessary te bring it to a speedy and successful termina- tion. -—_-____ + «= —____ Work for the General Government. From the Nashville American. The yellow fever problem should be han- dled by the national government; munict- palities and states have no business with it. Tt is a tremendously important prob- lem, one which demands the attention ot the powerful general government with an organized corps of experts and a compe- tent agent in every port and city in the country where there is danger of fever ap- pearing. : +o ___ Enforee the Civil Service Law. From the Chicago Times-Herald. The spoils system is a source of political corruption and public plunder. It was overthrown by a tremendous uprising of the people, who were aroused by the crimes for which it was responsible. The people will not return to it. All they ask is that the civil service law shall be vigorously, honestly and impartially enforced. soe Only Another Example.
