A Most Convenient Thing-An Account at HLCHTS Seventh Street 9 Remains of Discoverer Said to Be Not in Spain, as Generally Believed. JOHN E. OSBORNE LEARNS FACTS WHILE ON VISIT Suggests Bones Be Carried Through Panama Canal at Opening as a Tribute to His Memory. The remains of Christopher Columbus, discoverer of America, generally believed to- be interred at present in Seville, Spain, are in reality in the cathedral of i Santo Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic, having been kept there by a ruse of the Dominican people. This the substance of a remarkable story brought to Washington by John E.

Osborne, assistant secretary of state, who has just returned from a three-week trip to Santo Domingo and Haiti. He said today he received liis information directly from the highest officials of the Dominican government. As a result of the discovery Assistant Secretary Osborne has suggested that the remains of Columbus be placed on a battleship and carried through the Panama canal, when it is opened, as a tribute to the great discoverer of the western hemisphere. His suggestion includes the return of the remains to Santo Domingo following this ceremony. Exchanged for Remains of Son.

The story told to Assistant Secretary Osborne by members of the Dominican cabinet, and repeated by him to reporter for The Star today, includes a remarkable account of how the remains of Diego, the son of Columbus, were exchanged for those of the great discoverer. The remains of Diego are those now in Seville, lie said. The popular conception of the disposal of the remains of Columbus, which is supported by the best authorities is that the remains of Columbus and his son were originally interred at Sev lie and i removed to the cathedral at Domingo in 1542. and removed to the cathedral at Havana, Cuba, in 1 1SHS, following the Spanish-American war, the remains were supposed to have been sent to Seville again. Assistant Secretary Osborne said today that he had not only mains of Columbus, but that he had handled his bones, and also a found in his body after his death.

This bullet is one of the main identitication marks, he said, because Columbus was known to have had a bullet in his hi civ at the time of his death. Osborne Convinced of Truth. Assistant Secretary Osborne said today that he had been thoroughly convinced of the truth and accuracy of the storv told him by Dominican ofticials, and had questioned them carefully about it. He said he believed the i information of great importance the American people, who should know everything possible about the man who i discovered their country. The -suggestion regarding the taking i of the remains through the Panama canal was made to Dr.

Francis I ey nado the Dominican minister to tne nited States, by Assistant Secretary Osborne, and to other officials of the country, it was received favorably, he said today alker W. Vick. newly appointed receiver of customs for Santo Domingo, accompanied Secretary Osborne on his trip, and is also greatly interested in the question over the location of the remains of I Columbus. Mr. Vick is now at his New Jersev home, preparatory to going to Santo Domingo to take up his new duties.

President Bordas of the Dominican republic was very cordial in his receptujn i of Mr. Vick and himself. Secretary Osj borne said today, and detailed his entire cabinet to entertain them. The minister of foreign affairs was away at the time, but the minister of justice, Senor Tejeia, took charge of the party. Tejera Formerly a Priest.

Mr. Osborne said that Senor Tejera was formerly a priest, and a deep student of history, and was very much interested in everything pertaining to Columbus. He said vouched thoroughly for the account of how the Dominican people, unwilling to have the remains of Columbus removed, exchanged them for those of his remains which the officials of the Dominion republic say are those of Christopher Columbus are at present In a lead casket about two and a half feet long, according to Secretary Osborne. Ins de the casket is a small glass case, in which is the lead bullet and also the dust of some bones. Secretary 'Osborne is a physician, and was therefore, much interested in the bones, some of which he found to be in very good condition.

One was an arm bone and another was from a leg. The casket containing the bones has been removed from its original resting place, and has been placed in a special Chapel, to which only high officials of the government have access, according to Mr. Osborne. Another casket, supposed to. lumbus, also in the same cathedral, lumbus, olso is in the same cathedral.

Inscription on the Casket. The principal distinguishing feature about the Columbus casket is an inscription on the bottom. Secretary Osborne said The inscription contains the name "Christobal Colon." the Spanish for Christopher Columbus, with the title, "first admiral and discoverer of America." Diego Columbus was known as the second admiral. "1 am thoroughly convinced that the remains 1 saw at Santo Domingo are those of the discoverer of America," said Assistant Secretary Osborne today. "Of course, I base my belief on what was told me and what 1 saw, but 1 believe that 1 was told the truth.

"It seems to me that it would be an excellent idea to place the remains on a battleship when the Panama canal is opened and take them through the canal. The United States would in that way be honoring a great man, and the people of the country would be given an opportunity to learn' more about him. In Columbus. North and South and Central America have a common hero whose praise all can join in singing." Generally Accepted Theory. The following description of what wa? done with the remains of Columbus after his death is taken from a late edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica: "After the funeral ceremonies at Yalladolid, Columbus' remains were transferred to the Carthusian monastery at Santa Maria de las Cuevas, Seville.

where the hones of his son Diego, the second admir tl, were also laid. Exhumed in 154-, the bodies of both father and son were taken over sea to Hispanlola, and interred In the Cathedral of San Domingo. In 1795-1780, on the cession of that island to the French, the relics were re-exhumed and transferred to the Cathedral of Havana, whence after the SpanishAmerican war of 1898 and the loss of i'uba. they were finally removed to Seville Cathedral, where they remain." Cholera Ravaging Troops. Surgeon General Blue of the public health service is receiving reports of a very malignant epidemic of smallpox In eastern Servia and of cholera ravaging the Bulgarian troops in Macedonia.

Inasmuch as thousands of Greeks and Bulgars will return to the United States at the end of hostilities in the Balkans, the public health service is much concerned. Cholera, introduced into the Bulgarian lines bv Turkish prisoners. Is reported to be causing the Bulgars heavy losses, with prospect for more serious situation should the war be prolonged through the summer. PATRONIZE THE STORE NEAREST YOU Southwest. A.

3 double RUSS RELATIONS' GOOD DESPITE NO TREATY Former Ambassador Guild Confers With President Over Present Conditions. Ah optimistic statement of this country's relations with Russia, notwithstanding the abrogation by the United States of its treaty with that nation, was given out by Curtis Guild, retiring ambassador to Russia. Mr. Guild was at the White House yesterday, under the escort of Secretary Bryan A conference regarding the situation was held with the President, Mr. Guild afterward returning to his hotel, where he gave out his statement before his departure for his home in Boston.

It is his intention to resume his business occupations, he said. The statement follows: "When I left St. Petersburg our international relations were. I think, as satisfactory as could possibly expected in the absence of any treaty. No Boycott on American Goods.

"Russia has felt herself encouraged In her contention by the official and public refusal of the English and of the French government last fall to consider the abrogation of their respective treaties with the imperial government, though both were petitioned to follow the example of the I'nited States, and for the sanie reason, the restrictions placed by Russia without distinction of nationality on all foreign Hebrews. "Still, in exchange for the liberal policy pursued by the United States toward Russian subjects, we have been able, in spite of local agitation in Russia to avoid any boycott on American merchandise. The Russian collectors of customs have been instructed, until otherwise ordered, to continue the same rates of duty on American imports as those imposed on imports from other countries. American travelers and business men are given the same privileges as before, being treated like those coming from elsewhere. American Hebrews May Enter.

"In regarfi to American Hebrews, it continues to be tme that any American Hebrew who has not violated Russian 1 law and who can show that he has legit- I imate business in Russia (to buy or sell goods, to make financial settlements, etc.) can still secure, on application to the nearest Russian consul, a permit to. come to Russia for six months. "In spite of the diplomatic difficulty between the two nations, I have been treated personally throughout with the utmost courtesy and kindness, even when, under instruction, making representations conflicting with Russian precedent and custom."
