There Is much that has not changed since the days «’hen Bish op Lnuiln tried his hand nt converting the Indians four centuries ago and complained that the Indians Instead had converted Geronimo Aguilar, the first white man who lived among them. Geronimo, the bishop suspect ed. had become “us Idolatrous as they.” PIcturesqueneM In the modern Moya village Is not destroyed, as It so often Is In the Mexican villages on the nmlnlnnd. by- dirt and misery, for the Yucaiecun Indian Is a luckier creature. He Is cleaner, healthier and richer. The town of Tlcul, a docen miles or so from the famous ruined city of Uxmnl. Is an Interesting example of what has grown ouf of four centuries of European civilization Implanted In the heart of the greatest prehistoric American civilization. Native Blood Predominates. Tlcul was a growing town when the white man came, as the native will tell the visitor. Today nenrly every one who speaks Spanish speaks Mays, too, while a large proportion of the people speak the Indian iangpagn only. There is no pure-white Mood left and nutlve blood far predomi nates. In the native sections of the town the Indians still live In their huts of sticks, adobe roofed with fan-palm, much as they did before the conquest. The most notable change Is that they use the hammock, Introduced from Santo Domingo, Instead of the straw rug or ”petate." which they used as a bed before, and hammock making lisa become a Vucntecan art. Their huts are Io gardens, fenced with limestone walls, rich with orange, banana, palm, papaya and sapots trees. Magenta-colored bougainvilleas and llre-red “flamhoysns" add star tling color to the picture. Woman Carry Burdens. Tlie handsome Indian or inestlza women, with spotless white cotton gowns, brilliantly embroidered at neck and Item, walk like barefoot queen» through the stony streets, swinging lugs of woter nr naked babies on their Itlpe. Statuesque women, wltb white-enameled washbasins full of beans or ground corn dough on their heads, stalk out of the spotless mar ket with Its crisp green piles of herbs snd heaps of seeds and washed vege tables. Maya potters still ply their ancient trade In Tlcul, and the town supplies the surrounding region with earthen- ware dishes, pitchers and pots.
