Temple Graves relating to the
ontrol of the Atlanta News,
ays: “The weakness of the

Graves is peculiarly susceptible
to flattery.) has resulted in prac

brilliant in the south.

BY CLIFF A. OWENS.
One who is to make a tour of
a country which he has never
visited before usually desires
some accurate knowledge of it in
advance, though there are some
who prefer to learn as they go.
It is better, however, to get all
the information possible, es¬
pecially if one’s time is limited.
Having decided to make a trip
to the old world, I have been re
viewing my history and studying
my guide book.
One of the first places we will
visit is tlie historic city of Cadiz,
on the coast of Spain. A de¬
scription of the city must be re
servo for a future article. One
of its chief points of interest,
however, is that it is the city
from which Christopher Colum¬
bus set sail on hissocond voyage
of discovery. Returning from
bis first voyage March 15, 1493,
the Great Admiral was received
with every demonstration of joy
and admiration by the people
and the courts.
were made for a second voyage,
and in September of the
year he started from Cadiz
17 ships and 1500 men. It
upon this second voyage that the
Caribee islands were discovered.
Having visited these
three years ago, I feel a
joy in anticipation of
the place from which the discov¬
erer started.
Aoout seventy-five miles from
Cadiz is the city of Seville which
will also be visited. It will be?

P'-'-ed body of Columbus was re¬
moved from Havana to this place.
My guide book says: “The
small sarcophagus, supported by
four allegorical figures in bronze,
contains the mortal remains of
the great discoverer.” But we
feel safe in saying that where tlie
body of Columbus now rests is
an open question.
When the Great Admiral lay
dying in Valladolid in the year
1506, i i broken accents he told
of his desire to make a last voy
ago across tho Atlantic, and to
he burPd in tho convent at Con¬
cepcion do la Vega in Santo Do
mingo. This desire he also ex¬
pressed in his will; but rot uutil
the year 1540 were his remains
removed from Seville and carried
to Santo Domingo. Owing to
the fact that the convent was de¬
stroyed by an earthquake about
that time, the body was deposit¬
ed in the cathedral. At the same
time the body of Don Diego Co¬
lumbus. a son ot Christopher Co¬
lumbus, was removed to that
place by his widow. How ap¬
propriate that the two should
sleep side by side!
About thirty years later the
city was bombarded by Sir Fran¬
cis Drake. Fearing the destruc¬
tion of the tomb, it is said that
it was concealed by covering it
over with earth aud piaster. In
this way all evidence was finally
lost, aud for more than two cen¬
turies the history of the event
was preserved by tradition.
In L95 Santo Domingo was
coded to France. Spain xvus un¬
willing for the ashes of the great
discoverer to rest beneath an
alien flag, and sent an admiral
and navy to remove them to Ha
j vana They were shown the tra¬
ditional spot in the cathedral
Upon investigation they found a
vafilt inside which were some
met adieplates, some bones and
dust. The fragments were col¬
lected and with solemn ceremony
they were borne to the vessel in
the harbor. They were carried
to Havana and deposited in the
cathedral, and covered by a mar
