maulipas, is like calm before storm, that
bursts with fury at any moment. Our peo-
pie have to suffer in their property before
revolution takes place. Cattle are stolen
to provide beef for the cOmbatants Horses
disappear out of enclosures. Houses and
ranches are robbed. of fire arms, all these
things are being done by way of prepara-
