COUNTESS IS BRAVE
Irish Joan One of Striking Fig
ures in Rebellion.
DEATH SENTENCE MODIFIED
Sex Saves Woman From Execution,
but Is Sent to Prison for Life.
Work fox Poor Shows An
other Side of Character.
NEW YORK, May 16. A British mili
tary surgeon. Just arrived in this coun
try after having participated in the
fighting following the outbreak, of the
Sinn Fein riots in Dublin, tells of hav
ing been a witness of. attacks by the
rebels led by the picturesque Countess
Markieviez, who was a striking figure
in the rebellion. The Countess Mar
kieviez is Irish born, and derives her
un-Irish name from the fact that she
was married to a Polish nobleman.
She showed great personal bravery in
leading her followers. When captured
he was sentenced to death, but be
cause of her sex the decree was modi
fied to life imprisonment.
It was the Countess who led the band
that took possession of the Royal Col
lege of Surgeons in Dublin and defend
ed it stubbornly. The college was the
last building in St. Stephen's Green to
surrender. When all hope for victory
had vanished the rebels hoisted a
white flag, and after arranging terms
of surrender marched out by twos, led
by the undaunted Countess. The Irish
Joan of Arc wore a suit of green, with
green hat and feather, and green put
tees to match. She kissed the revolver
she had used before surrendering it
to the officer in command, then threw
him a kiss.
The British surgeon for a time was
virtually a- prisoner in a hotel in Dub
lin, and while there he saw the Count
ess, in her military uniform and with
her hair flying, urge the rebels on.
The Countess held one revolver in her
hand and had two others of large can
ber strapped to her belt. The doctor
declared that the rebels tried to set
fire to the hotel where he was staying,
and that leading them was the Count
ess. Some of the men at the hotel saw
her shoot down six of her followers
who evidently had refused to carry out
her orders.
Another phase of the Countess' char
acter it attested by others who knew
her before the rebellion. She was de
voted to the service of "her poor," as
she called them. She went among
them and nursed the sick and fed the
hungry, often preparing their food with
her own hands.

children was allowed her, under the
provision that she shall not take them
from the state.

orous protest, declaring the place they

MEN FLEE ON APPROACH

Are Persistent.
FIELD HEADQUARTERS. MEXICO,
May 20. (Via wireless to Columbus,
N. M.. May 21.) Thirteen troopers of
the Seventh Cavalry were fired on yes
terday near the town of Temosachic
and one was wounded. The attack i
ascribed to bandits hiding about
bridge near the town, which is a few
miles southeast of Madera, on the
Mexico Northwestern railroad.
After a few shots the Mexicans fled
and the Americans continued on their
way.
A small group of Mexicans is falling
in behind the American columns a
they move northward, always keeping
out of sight, but telling the natives
that they are chasing the gringoes
from Mexican soil. They stop when
ever the Americans halt and scatte
and disarm whenever General Fersh
ing's men approach them.
Sniplnc Theory More Favored.
Two suppositione are prevalent re
garding the identity of these men. On
is that they are Carranzistas trying
to give the American movement th
appearance of a retreat. The other i
mat tney are pandits seeking to an
noy the Americans by sniping. Th
latter conjecture is the more favored
SAN ANTONIO, Texas. May 21.
With the arrival on the American side
of Colonel Sibley's little force that res
cued Jesse Deemer and Monroe Fayne
and chased the border raiders 145 mile
into Mexico, General Funstons com
raand of nearly 50,000 men tonight will
await developments.
That portion of the Army under Gen
eral Pershing in Mexico has become as
inactive as the remainder of the bi
border force and, so far as Army offi
cera know, the period of comparativ
inaction will be unbroken unless th
Initiative is taken by the Mexicans.
Slbley'a Arrival Imminent.
Colonel Sibley had not reported hi
troops on this side of the Rio Grand
tonight, but his last reported position
was so far north that his arrival was
hourly expected.
The Texas militia, mobilized here
will be sent forward to border sta
tions in a few days, and today the
Sixth Cavalry, which has been in Chi
nuanua under General Pershing, was
moving into the Big Bend district.
where additional companies of the
Coast Artillery will be located if the
War Department grants General Fun
ston's request for more.
Reports of contemplated raids along
the border, especially in the Browns
ville district, continue to reach Gen
eral Funston. but all official reports
from border stations are that the
situation was unchanged.
