Note 325 — Chapter I · (continued 2)

This was a view advanced by J. I. de Armas in a Caracas newspaper, later set forth in his Las cenizas de Cristóbal Colon suplantadas en la Catedral de Santo Domingo, Caracas, 1881. The same view is taken by Sir Travers Twiss, in his Christopher Columbus: A Monograph on his True Burial-place (London, 1879), a paper which originally appeared in the Nautical Magazine. M. A. Baguet, in “Où sont ces restes de Colomb?” printed in the Bulletin de la Société d’Anvers (1882), vi. 449, also holds that the remains are those of the grandson, Cristoval Colon. For an adverse view, see the Informe of the Amigos del Pais, published at Santo Domingo, 1882. Cf. also Juan Maria Asensio, Los restos de Colon, segunda ed., Sevile, 1881.
