FactoryAn Ancient Castle as a Signal Station Balboas Reward CARTIIAGE NA Colombia March 131S90 1 Special correspondence of THE HERALD One of the most interesting places on the Western Hemisphere is this ancient Car thagena a city hallowed by history romance and tradition but now wearing an air of decayed gentility pitiable to be hold By consulting a map you will find it near the Carribbean coast of Colombia a little way west from the mouth of the Magdalena In the days of Phillip H it was the most strongly fortified city on the continent the headquarters of the Spanish naval forces in the New World the great rendezvous of the galleons that came for treasure and until a comparatively late day it continued to be the principal com mercial metropolis of the vast region known as New Granada Its prominence was partly due to the celebrated mines just back of the town from which many tons of gold were sent to I Spain Some idea of their richness may be I imagined from reading the old records that I yet remain in the archives of Carthagena These documents set forth the fact that tho Kings share was onefifth part of all tho I gold produced while another fifth went to the church and that during more tnan two centuries the Kings portion amounted to several millions of dollars every year Since human nature has been about the same through all the ages it is not entirely certain that the share to which his majesty considered himself entitled was always en tirely up to the mark but at any rate the galleons carried away tons upon tons of treasure Hard and fast after the galleons followed THE PIRATES for plunder and so much damage did the latter commit that the Spanish sovereign thought worth his while to build a wall around Carthagena so wide and strong that forty horses could walk abreast on it at an expense of more than ninety millions of dollars Though no longer occupied the ancient fortifications are still in a tolerable good condition Their massive walls are to all appearance impregnable and the subter ranean passages leading from them may still be distinctly traced Through one of these passages which leads outward to the foot of the mountains communication used to be maintained in time of siege Another ran between an ancient fortress on a hill and the dungeons of the Inquisition and through it prisoners wero conducted from prison to punishment If you have read Charles Kingsleys delightful story called Westward Ho 1 you will remember that in it he describes Carthagena minutelyand imprisons his hero and heroine f Frank and the Rose of Devon in this same old fortress on the hillside Through the underground passages we have mentioned so the talo goes they were dragged to the vaults of the Inquisition where they endured tor tures inconceivable and a terrible death by fireThe The Inquisition building still stands but since the power of Catholicism was broken on this continent it has not been used for the torment of heretics It remained empty for many years but of late has served for the ignoble purpose of a tobacco factory Some time ago a party of United States naval officers finding time hang heavy on their hands while waiting in the I harbor attempted to explore Carthagenas I underground pathways but they found them so full of obstructions and fallen debris that not much progress ceuld be made Even the stately old castle like every thing else about the place has fallen into a mournful coudition of decay and Is now utilized as a signal station from which a flag is run up by a man on guard as soon I as a vessel is seen to enter the harbor I thereby notifying the captain of the port and the merchants of the city of its ap proach There are several once fine but now dilapidated churches in Carthagena and many decrepit palaces which though partially in ruins indicate the magnificence of the oldtime grandees Many of the palaces are now empty and others have degenerated into shabby tenement houses THE CATHEDRAL though architecturally one of the largest to be found in the three Americas is some what shabby inside and contains nothing worth mentioning except the big marble pulpit The latter is truly a magnificent affair covered with exquisite carvings and the good Carthatrenians think not without reason that there is nothing like it under the sun The story of its early vicissi tudes adds to its value and interest About three hundred years ago the Pope of Rome wishing to show especial favor to his devout subjects in New Spain t ordered the construction of this marble pulpit for Carthagenas cathedral It was designed and carved in Rome by the fore most artists of the day hand when properly consecrated it was snipped with great ceremony on board a Spanish galleon bound for the western world While on the way the vessel was over hauled by pirates who ripped open the boxes containing the pulpit and being an gered at discovering nothing therein for which therein for which they could find any use they dumped the whole thing over board in midocean Butwonders of wonders by direct interposition of the saints not one of the ponderous cakes of solid marble could be made to sink The buccaneers frightened out of their wits by this miracle fled from the ship leaving all their booty With great difficulty the Spanish sailors got their sacred cargo aboard again and started on their way But they had not proceeded far before a second lot of sea robbers overtook them and burned the galleon having made away with all its valuables and murdered every one of the crew However the saints still preserve the precious pulpit and while everything else was consumed or swallowed up by the greedy waves it floated away serenely on the surface of the sea and guided by in visible hands finally went ashore on the unfrequented beach a few miles above Carthagena In heretical minds the quer may arise why the saints aforesaid did not save human life time trouble and expense by guiding tho pirate ships in some other direction or at least by landing the pulpit in the right spot while they were about it but it is not your business nor mine to question the miracles For many years the beautifully carved marble lay on the desolatebeach unknown I and unnoticed while sands drifted over it and waves occasionally washed them away until one day party of explorers stumbled upon it who recognized at once the value of the work and took it on board their ship which was bound for Spain intending to sell it there for what it would bring B it it seems that THE SAINTS still kept their eyes on the Popes contribu tion and they sent the vessel such bad weather that it was obliged to put back into the harbor of Carthagena for repairs There the captain told the story of his treasuretrove and so it reached tho ears of the bishop His grace immediately re membered all about the miraculous pulpit and having sent for the captain informed him that he could have no claim upon it Now it happened that this captain unlike most of his profession was not a particu t early godly man and intimating plainly to the august bishop that it was no use trying to humbug a sad sea dog he offered to sell his find to tho Carthagenians for a good round sum The money not being forthcoming ho I declined to leave the pulpit and soon sot aail intending to carry out his original in dention of sailing it in Europe But hardly uad he left the harbor when a most fright fill tale struck the ship sending it to the o n = 1 + 1 bottom with all on board The miraculous I pulpit arose from the wreck unharmed and one fine day it came floating into the har bor of Carthapena And at last it was safely placed in the sanctuary for which it was intended where it now remains I am solemnly assured that the above account is absolutely correct but of course there are no means of proving it since all those concerned in the early history of the pulpit have been dust these two centuries and more There is a faint prospect that this old city of Carthagena may retrieve it fallen fortunes somewhat and become again a lively metropolis if two of the enterprises that are now being agitated do not prove abortive One of them is the construction of a railroad between Barranquilla and Carthagena and the other is the reopening of the ancient dique or ship canal between the latter place and Calamar which form erly connected Carthagena with the Mag dalena river at a point many miles above the delta When Carthagenas decline be gan about the beginning of the present century the ship canal fell into disuse and gradually filled up with the riotous vegeta tion of the tropics The old city has natural advantages far superior to an other in Colombia and should either of the abovementioned enterprises be carried out it will again become the foremost city of the northern end of South America within easy communication with the fertile val leys and plateaus of Colombias interior the pate of commerce in time of peace and when war threatens secure alike from seige and unsuccessful assault I have been shown the crumbling old casa wherein VASCO NUNEZ DB IU1BOA the discoverer of the Pacific lived in Car thagena before his short and somewhat questionable career of fame began It seems that the gay young nobleman had quickly got rid ot all his fortune in Old Castile and soon after the return of Colum bus from his fourth voyage he followed the tide of Spanish emigration to these shores to escape imprisonment for debt In his new home ho soon succeeded in loading himself with other liabilities and his creditors were on the point of arresting him to prevent his again running away when he hit upon the plan of escape with which every schoolboy is familiar As the story is neither long nor prosy and as its romance and tragedy is really a part of the history of Colombia and was enacted right here in the places we are visting shall we review it from the pages of history I think it was in the year 1510 that Mar tin Francisco do Encisco whose name is closely inwrought with early colonial do ings in this section came first to Cartha gena which even then was a thriving town In its harbor he found a brigautine which contained the discouraged remnant of a Spanish colony that had been driven by the hostility of the Indians from their settle ment a little farther down the coast Its leader was no less a personage than Fran cisco Pizarro who had not yet entered upon his career of bloodshed in Peru Encisco soon after sailed for St Sebastian and took Pizarro and his brigantine with him Just before the vessel was to leave port some men brought on board an ordin ary cask supposed to contain provisions that was lowered into the hold with the rest of the cargo bnt hardly had the shore faded from sight before out popped the head of this cask followed by the figure of A SPANISH CAVALIER highruffed and gauntleted in goldem broidered satin waistcoat velvet breeches and top boots no less a personage than the spendthrift nobleman Don Balboa At firsty Encisco was so angry at the de ception practiced upon him that he threat ened to put the stowaway ashore on a desert island but relented when Balboa swore eternal allegiance promised to l be a good soldier in the murderous expedition then on the tapis no doubt reflecting that he could not choose his followers from among the best society On the way to St Sebastian Enciscos ship ran upon the rocks and was lost with all its cargo but most of the crew escaped to Pizarros brigantine While in this sorry plight Balboa bethought himself of an Indian village on the banks of a river i called Darien where he had heard the land was fertile and the natives possessed plenty of gold and he offered to conduct the ad venturers thereto They easily captured the city of Darien and compelled the inhabitants to deliver up more than fifty thousand dollars worth of golden ornaments after which Encisco established a colony there and forbade any body but himself to traffic with the natives under penalty of death This too arbitrary order caused a split in the hitherto peace ful party for Enciscos followers were quite as covetous as their leader Headed by Balboa they joined in making this bone of contention the basis of a revolt and so well did Balboa manage matters that he was soon appointed governor of the colony with alsolute authority over It while En cisco was recalled to Spain in disgrace The new governor sent Pizarro to ex plore the neighboring provinces and after that worthy had been driven back by the Indians he headed a similar expedition himself While cruising along these coasts of Colombia he picked up two Spaniards in the dress or rather the undress of In dians who proved to be deserters from an other Spanish colony and had long been living an interior province under the protection of great cacique named Careta Though the latter had spared their worth less lives and treated them with unvarying kindness they did not hesitate in offering to pilot Balboa to the Indian village which they declared to contain a great store of the precious metal so ardently desired by the adventurers When the expedition reached CARITAS CAPITAL which lay about twenty miles above the mouth of the Caledonia river near the present town called Carets the chief re ceived them in good faith and entertained them freely with the best his kingdom af forded as long as they chose to stay I Finally Balboa who had only 150 soldiers pretended to leave having spied out the land to his satisfaction but the same night he returned attacked the city and made prisoners of the kind cacique his family and nobles Careta at length made peace with the vipers he had nourished by yield ing up a large amount of gold and giving his young and beautiful daughter in mar riage to Balboa who had already a wife in Spain and goodness knows how many others in the New World However it is said that the Indian spouse acquired a great influence over her lord and saved his life on more than one occasion Having promised to help the fatherin law against his enemies Balboa went to a neighboring province and destroyed Ponchos village where he had hoped to find a good deal of gold but was disap pointed Then he went on to the territory of Comagre a chief who was Caretas friend and there the rascals found better luck Comagre himself came out to meet themsecorted them to his village andloaded them with kiuanness His people were more advanced in civilization than any the Spaniards had yet seen in America The chiefs residence was a frame build ing 450 feet long by 250 feet wide di vied into numerous apartments Under neath the whole was a great collar for storing provisions and in one part was a mausoleum where the bodies of Comagres ancestors wore preserved The corpses were first dried by fire to pevent decay and then wrapped in great quantities of cloth which was interwoven with threads of gold andsilver and fastened here and uethere with native emeralds and lumps of goldThe The sight of these rich bundles hanging all around a room was more than enough to excite Spanish cupidity to such a pitch that no amount of indebtedness to their hospitable entertainers could SAVE THE DEAD from desecration To prevent this and satisfy Balboas demands the chiefs eldest son brought four thousand ounces of gold and directed it to be divided among the guests Of course they got into a row over its distribution when the disgusted savage sprang between the disputants dashed the scales to the ground and ex clamed Why do you fight for such trash as this 1 If you want gold go beyond those mountains 1 There is a great sea on which sail vessels like your own The streams that flow into it are filled with gold and the people who live on its shores eat from plates of gold The hasty words made deep impression on Balboa and he immediately demanded to know all about the great sea The young chief could not tell much beyond the fact that the way thereto was one of danger and difficulty but probably in f J hope of getting rid of the terrible guests he offered to conduct them to it if they wished to go Of course they wanted to if gold was so plentiful and Balboa flur ried off to Darien to prepare for the expe dition He sent to Spain for the men required and after waiting long and anxiously in vain received word that Enciscohad re established himself in the favor of the king and was coming back at once to re sume command of the colony Balboa knew very well that if he fell into the clutches of his old enemy he would be sent home in chains to answer to the charge o treason There was but one course to save his precious head and he lost no time in pursuing itby calling upon volunteers to accompany him to the great sea and getting out of the way before Enciscos arrival Nearly two hundred men re sponded to his call and on the first of September 1513 ho set out with a brig antine and ten canoes Reaching the do main of hisfatherinlaw he tarried awhile and from that point the inland march began Space will not permit an account of how they toiled over rocks and hills and through the tnick undergrowth of tropical forests morasses and jungles suffering at every step from sickness hunger and the fierce opposition of the Indians After many battles in which the simple natives were always routed with fear at the first discharge of firearmsthey believing the strange weapons to be thunder and light ning in human handsthe adventures reached the foot of the mountain from whose summit the guide sssured them that the ocean was visible Determined to have THE FIRST GLIMPSE of it himself Balboa ordered a halt here and went into camp that his sick and wounded followers might have needed rest At the first peep of day he pre pared to ascend with sixty picked com panions It was high noon before they emerged from the dense forest and stood at the base of a stony peak that crowded the mountain top Bidding the rest re main until he gave them a signal Balboa pushed forward alone until he reached the summit and there below stretching away to the horizon lay the mighty sea whose shining waters had never before been beheld by the eve of a white man His followers dashed after him Fran cisco Pizarro among the first and a young priest who at once set up the chant 2c Down Laudamus in which all joined on bended knees Then as usual they set up a wooden cross on a mound of stones and by that means took formal possession of land and sea in the name of their King and the Pope To carry the story to its conclusion the adventurers after many hardships re turned to Darien whence Balboa dis patched a ship to Spain with the news of his grand discovery and onefifth of all the gold he had taken By this time Encisco had returned to Spain and a new governor was in command at Darien The latter had Balboa tried on the old charge of trea son but he was acquitted and then started to carry out his intention of exploring the ocean he had named Pacifico and finding those people who ate from plates of goldCrossing the mountains that form the backbone of the Isthmus he built vessels on the banks of the Yalsa river visited the Pearl Islands in Panama bay and cruised some distance down the coast Meantime jealous enemies at home egged on by Encisco reported that he intended to set up a colony of his own on the Pacific side of the Isthmus Thereupon the governor of Darien summoned Balboa back to his Capital ostensibly to hold with him friendy consultation Against advice of his comrades Balboa went The governor had him arrested on a charge of treason and after going through a form of a trial condemed him to death Almost immediately he was led forth to execution preceeded by a crier who porclaimed him to be a traitor of the Crown With his last breath Balboa indignantly denied the charge He was just fortyone years old in theprime of life and in the beginning of possible usefulness when pinioned to a chair upon a high platformhe looked his last upon this world He was undoubtedly a great scamp but averaged pretty well on the whole for a sixteenth century crusader His history indicates no disloyalty to his sovereign and as a reward for his splendid disovery he fell victim to the same mean spirit of jealousy which caused Columbus to be carried in chains to the prison where he died FANNIE B VAlID That tired feeling is entirely overcome by Hoods Sarsaparilla which gives n feel ing of buoyancy and strength to the whole system 8 Tho Deseret Smut Bank The
