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

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
