On his return to the mansion the capa
tai did not see his master, at which he
was extremely pleased, for he desired to
delay as ion/ as possible an explanation
which, in spite of the wound he so com­
placently displayed, he feared would turn
out to his disadvantage; especially when
questioned by a man like the general,
whose piercing glance would descend to
the bottom of his heart to discover the
truth, however cleverly hidden it might
be behind a network of falsehoods.
As only a few hours had still to elapse
before the explosion of the conspiracy,
arranged with such care and mystery, the
general was compelled for a while to sus­
pend his schemes for the satisfaction of
his love and hatred, and only attend to
those in which his ambition was engaged.
The principal conspirators had been sum­
moned to Colonel Lupo's, and there the
final arrangements had been made for the
morrow, and the watchword given.
Although the government appeared
plunged in the most profound ignorance
of what was preparing against it, and
evinced complete security, still the Presi­
dent bad made certain arrangements for
the morrow’s ceremonies which did not
fail greatly to trouble the men interested
in knowing everything, and to whom the
apparently most futile thing naturally-
created umbrage.
The general, with the curiosity that
distinguished him, was anxious to know
exactly the extent of the danger he had
to meet, end proceeded to the palace,
merely accompanied by his two aides d e­
camp. He was too calm to let his feel
ings he seen. He pretended to be delight­
ed, remained for some time with the
President, who appeared to treat him
with a friendly familiarity, complained
of the rarity of his visits, and his ob­
stinacy in not asking for a command.
Still the general remarked that all the
courts were stuffed with soldiers, who
were bivouacking in the open air; that
several guns had been placed, accident­
ally, perhaps, so as to sweep complete­
ly the chief entrance gate, and, more seri­
ous still, that the troops quartered in
the paince were commanded by officers
who were strangers to him, and who had,
moreover,.the reputation of being devoted
to the President of the Repubic.
After this daring visit, the general
mounted his horse, and under the pre­
text of going for a walk, went all over
the city. Everywhere the preparations
for the coming festival were being car­
ried on with the greatest activity. Nu­
merous wooden erections, raised for the
occasion, filled the space usually devoted
to tauromachy, and formed an Immense
hall of verdure, with pleasant clumps of
trees, mysterious walks nud charming re­
treats, prepared with the greatest care,
where everybody would go on the morrow
to eat the atrocious productions of the
Mexican art of cookery.
Exactly In the center of the squnre a
Necatltlan tree about twenty feet in
height was planted, with its branches
and leaves entirely covered with colored
pocket handkerchiefs that floated in the
breeze. This tree wns the Monte Par-
nasso, intended to serve as a may pole for
the leperos at the moment when the bull
fights begin, and a trial bull, emhallado—
that is to say, with its horns terminating
in balls, is let into the ring.
All the pulquerias near the square were
filled with a hideous, ragged mob, who
bowled, sang, shouted and whistled their
loudest.
In ail the streets the procession would
pass through the houses were decorated;
Mexican flags were hoisted in profusion
at every spot where they could be dis­
played ; and yet, by the side of all these
holiday preparations, there wns, we re­
peat, something gloomy and menacing
that struck a chill to the heart. Through
all the gates fresh troops continually en­
tered the city, and occupied admirably
chosen strategic points.
When a serious event is preparing,
there are In the atmosphere certain signs
which never deceive the fosterers of rev­
olutions ; a vague and apparently cause­
less anxiety seizes on the masses, and un­
consciously converts their Joy into a spe­
cies of feverish excitement, at which they
are themselves startled, as they know not
to what to attribute this change In their
humor.
Hence the population of Mexico, mad,
merry and joyous, as usual when a fes­
tival is preparing, in the eyes of short­
sighted persons, were in reality sternly
sad and suffering from great anxiety. The
general did not fail to observe these prog­
nostics; gloomy presentiments occupied
his mind, for he understood that a ter­
rible tempest was hidden beneath this fic­
titious calmness. Vnlentlne's gloomy pre­
dictions recurred to him. He trembled
to see the hunter's menaces realized ; and.
though unable to discover when the dan­
ger would come, he foresaw that a great
peril was hanging over his head; and that
his »mbitlous projects would soon, per­
haps, be drowned in floods of blood.
Unfortunately, it was too late to desist;
he must, whatever might happen, go on
to the end, for be had not the time to
give counter orders, and urge the con­
spirators to defer the explosion of the
plot till a more favorable moment. Hence,
after ripe reflection, the general resolved
to push on. and trust to accident. Am­
bitious men, by the way, reckon far more
than Is supposed on hazard and those
m agnificent combinations which are ad­
mired when success has crowned them,
are most frequently merely the unfore­
seen results of fortuitous circumstance*,
completely beyond the will of the man
whom they have profited.
The general returned to his house at
about 6 in the evening, despairing, and
already seeing his plans annihilated. The
report of his capataz added to his dis­
couragement. for it was the drop of
wormwood which mskes the brimful cup
run over. He .withdrew to his apart­
ments in a state of dull fury, and in his
Impotent rage accused himself for having
ventured into this frightful situation, for
he felt himself rapidly gliding down a
fatal slope, where it would bs impossi-
M* tor him to stop
Wlint added to his secret agony was
that he must incessantly send off couriers,
receive reports, talk with bis confidants,
and feign in their presence not merely
calmness and gaiety, but also encourage
them, and impart to them an tfrdor and
hope which he no longer possessed.
The whole night was spent thus. A
terrible night, during which the general
endurml all the tortures that assail an
ambitious man on the eve of a scandal­
ous plot against a government which he
lias sworn to defend.
Sunrise surprised the general giving
his final orders. Worn out by the fatigue
of a long watch, with pallid brow, and
eyes inflamed by fever, he tried to take
a few moments of restorative rest, which
lie so greatly needed; but his efforts were
fruitless, for he was suffering from an
excitement too intense, at the decisive
hour, for sleep to come and close his
eyes.
Already the bells of the churches were
pealing out, and filling the air with their
joyous notes. In all the streets, and in
all the squares, boys and leperos were
letting off crackers, and uttering deafen­
ing cries, which more resembled bursts
of fury than demonstrations of joy. The
people, dressed in their holiday clothes,
were leaving their houses in masses, and
spreading like a torrent over the city.
The review was arranged for seven
o’clock a. m„ so that the troops might
he spared the great heat of the day.
They were massed on the Ease de Buca-
relli ami the road connecting that prome­
nade with the Alameda.
We have already stated that the Mexi­
can army, 20,000 strong, has 2,400 «Hi­
rers. Hence, in the enormous crowd as­
sembled to witness the review uniforms
wore in n majority, for all the officers liv­
ing on half pay in Mexico, for some rea­
son or another, considered themselves
bound to attend the review as amateurs.
At a quarter to 8 o’clock the drums
beat, the troops presented arms, a deaf­
ening shout was raised by the crowd, and
tlie President of the Republic arrived,
followed by a large staff, glistening with
gold and lace, and with a cloud of feath­
ers waving in their cocked hats.
General Guerrero had joined the Presi­
dent's staff in his full dress uniform, as
Colonel Lupo and other conspirators had
also done; the rest, dispersed among the
crowd.
In the meanwhile the review went on
without any hitch. It is true that the
President restricted himself to riding
along the front, and then ordering the
troops to march past, for he did not
dnre, owing to the notorious ignorance of
the officers and soldiers, risk the execu­
tion of any mnnoeuvers, for it would not
have been understood, and would have
broken the charm under which the spec­
tators were fascinated. Then the Presi­
dent, still followed by his staff, proceed­
ed to the cathedral. We will not say
anything nbout the official reception, etc.,
which occupied all the morning.
The hour for the bull fight arrived.
Since the review no one troubled him­
self about the troops, who seemed to
have suddenly disappeared—not a soldier
was visible in the streets; but the people
di<l not think of them, for they were let­
ting off fireworks, laughing and shouting,
which was quite sufficient to amuse them.
It was only noticed that these soldiers,
though invisible about the city, had ap­
parently passed the word to each other
to be present at the bull fight. Nearly
the whole of the palcos de sol in the cir­
cus, that is to say, the parts exposed to
the sun, were thronged with, soldiers,
grouped pell-mell with the leperos, and
offering the most pleasant contrast with
these ragged scamps, who were yelling
and whistling.
The President arrived, and the circus
was in a second invaded by the mob.
Since an early hour the jamaiea had be­
gun, that is to say, the framework of
verdure raised in the center of the arena,
forming refreshment rooms, had since
daybreak been filled with countless num­
bers of leperos, who ate with cries of
ferocious delight.
Suddenly, at a given signal, the gate
of the torrll was opened and a bull
rushed into the arena. Then began an
extraordinarily indescribable scene, resem­
bling one of those diabolical meetings so
admirably designed by Cailot.
The leperos, surprised by the arrival
of the bull, darted, shouting, pushing
and upsetting each other, over the frame­
work, which they threw down and tram­
pled under foot in their terror, while
seeking to escape the pursuit of the em-
bolindo, who, also excited by the turmoil,
hunted them vigorously. In a second the
arena was deserted, the refreshment
rooms swept clean, and the performers in
the jamaiea sought any shelter they could
find on the edge of the palcos or upon
the columns, from which they hung in
hideous, yelling and grimacing clusters.
The bull, after amusing himself for
seme minutes in tossing about the re­
mains of the framework, stopped and
looked cunningly around, and soon no­
ticed the tree, the only obstacle left to
remove in order to completely empty the
arena.
He remained motionless for an instant,
as if hesitating ere he formed a resolu­
tion, then bowed bis head, made the sand
fly with his fore feet, lashed his tail
violently, and rushing at the tree, dealt
it repeated powerful blows.
The leperos uttered a cry of despair.
The tree, which was overladen, and in­
cessantly sapped at its base by the bull,
swayed, and at last fell sideways, carry­
ing down in its fall the leperos clinging
to its hranche*. The audience clapped
their hands and broke into frenzied
bravos, which changed into perfect yells
of delight when a poor fellow who was
limping away was suddenly caught up by
the bull and tossed ten feet high in the
air.
All at once, and at the moment when
the Joy was attaining Its paroxysm, sev­
eral round» of artillery were beard, fol­
lowed by a well sustained musketry Are.
As if by magic the bull was driven back
to the torrll. the soldiers scattered about

coming actors Instead of spectators, drew

ror, for they did not understand what

Mexico was once again the p.*ey »f one
of those scenes of murder and carnage
which, since the proclamation of indepen­
dence, has too often stained her streets
and squares with blood.
The President was on horseback in the
center of the arena, sending off orders,
listening to messages or detaching re-en­
forcements wherever they were wanted.
The circus wu3 converted into the head­
quarters of the army of order, and the
spectators, although allowed to d?part
after some arrests had been effected
among them, remained trembling in their
seats, preferring not to venture into the
streets, which had been coaverted into
real battlefields.
