make general onslaught. The fugitives were
to be waylaid in the back streets, and killed. by
accomplices armed with steuoes. The pre-

the soldiers by the populace; and the sangui
nary result, was to be held up as the natural
consequence Of concessions TO people not
ripe for freedom. In this way the lamull was
expected TO produce the desired reaction in the
proceedings of Government.
