smoke from pur0s ana cigarettes. There were
women carrying cups and serving the strong, sal-

respecting human life and the duty OF an Arago-

In a row on the ground, on the pavement between
tho 1rst and second barbados, were sixty-1ve
bodies Of dead men. From my place OF observation
they secmei to be sleeping; but their forms were
too uniform; oil their limbs were stretched out
straight and their arms folded on their chests,
ana the glass revealed to me bloody faces and heads
destroyed past recognition, some bodies headiess
and some strangely short Then there wero the
dead within the barricadcs, from whom the
sickening smell emanated. Muskets were
resting against houses and In stacks, while
armed sentrios promenaded before the Dreastworks.
The barbados had been dressed up ani rebuilt and
considerably strengthened by bags OF soil which
were piled above them. Tho doors or each house
