In the last chapter it was stated that
this man kept his eyes fixed on the face
of General Lopez, and that he threw
back his great hat, so that his vision
might he unobstructed. He closely
watched every movement upon the
platform, and bent his head eagerly
forward to hear. The tones of the VIC
tim as he entreated permission to speak
to the throng were low, and did not
reach as far as where this earnest
watcher stood; but the harsh voice of
the tyrannical officer who re-
fused this last request was pitched
in high key, and the man
clinched his fists as he heard the words.
Some powerful feeling controlled him.
His face grew red and pale by tsurnsi
his breath came quick and then la
bored. He saw Lopez seated in the
fatal chair, and his teeth ground to-
gether with rage. Suddenly-could it

Further than this, he knew that the pa

for fear of imperiling his safety, but
this was enough. The heart of the
watcher swelled with pride and grief;
his eyes moistened; mist SWAN be-
fore him. Then the dying cry of the
patriot thrilled him. through and
through-ah, how often had he heard it
before, in words Of affection and
friendship, and in loud ringing tones
upon the battlefield! He heard the
harsh command of the officer, the deaf
ening roll of the drums; his head
reeled, he would have fallen to the
ground but for a strong effort which
he put forth to control himself. When
his senses were setady again he saw
the patriot-martyr dead in the chair,
the multitude heaying and swaying
around him with excitement, and he
heard the loud exclamation from the
PLATFORM:
$50 perish all enemies of Spain and
Cuba! Viva Isabella! Viva Concha!
Down with all filibusteros and rene
gadoes!''
Another loud and prolonged flourish
OF drums emphasized the proclamation,
while from some hundreds of loyal
throats came an approving hnzza.
The sight, the words, the sounds
threw the man with the sombrero into
a transport OF rage. The soldier-spirit
stirred madly within him; he forgot his
surroundings, he forgot his own feeble
ness; he remembered only that he had

space of that side toward which the
chair faced. The officers were grouped
about the man in the citizens clothes.
The priest approached him; he bowed
respectfully, but motioned him away.
Now, in the last moments Of this man s
life. let us look at him. He is Of
medium height and powerful frame.
His face has the bronze of the Castil-
ian, but also frankness and an open
ness that is not of that race. His
massive head is thrown defiantly back
as he folds his arms and surveys the
multitude. His hair is black and curly;
a dark mustache conceals his mouth:
his features are large and strong, and
he has two such restless, lumin~us eyes
as you may search in vain for in Cuba

peremptorily shook his head and
pointed to the chair. 1t was plain to

AWFUL RIDE TO DEATH.

Five Killed and Four Fatally Injured in
an Accident on a Cincinnati Cable
Road. .....
CINCINNATI, Oct. 16.-A terrible acci-
dent happened ON the main street in
cline plane at 1916 p. IN. A car had
reached the top of the incline, when the
rope broke, and there was nothing to
hold the truck. 1t came crashing down
and ran into the passenger station and
office below. There were nine pas
sengers on board and five are killed and
three more probably fatally injured, and
the other also injured more or less
seriously. The killed are three men and
two women.
Some of the bodies of the killed and
wounded were found in the debris below
the bulwarks and others in the street.
The roof of the car was found leaning
against the grocery forty feet from the
base of the incline. An inspection re-
vealed the fact that the accident was due
not to the breakage of the cable. as was
at first supposed, but to the inability of
the clamps to grip the cable with suffi-
cient strength to hold the weight of the
carriage.

HOW WILL 10 VOTE?

BY the Allotment of Dakota Lands in Sew
crafty Every Male Indian Over FL Be-
comes a Voter.
WASHINGTON Oct. 14.-The Indian,
as a political factor, is feature of poll
tics which is likely in the near future to
attract public attention. By recent acts
of congress every Indian over 81 years Of
age who receives an allotment of land
in severalty becomes a voter, clothed
with every attribute that attaches to cit
izenship. The successful termination Of
the negotiations with the Sioux Indians,
by which they surrender large part Of
their reservation in Dakota will, it is es-
timated, by next year. throw into the
politics of the state, the uncertain guam
tity of 4,937 voters. This vote, thrown
solidly, as it probably will be in both
state and national elections, is likely to
BECOME AN IMPORTANT FACTOR
in that state. Negotiations now in prog
ress with other Indian tribes will soon
make many thousands more Indian vot-
ers. At the interior department it is
thought that upwards of 10000 Indians
will be entitled to vote in the next presi-
Dental election. How the red man will
conduct himself as part and parcel of
the nation, and not as its ward, will be
watched with interest by all who are in
terested in the solution of the Indian
problem,
