away the fly as vindication of our dig
rity and take precaution that he does
not return, even if we have to bend our
heads to tie his little legs. do not pur-
pose to be annoyed by these blistering
midgets we are met to consider, nor to
have my term of administration spotted
with their gall. leave it to you, my
compatriots and friends, to advise me
what is best to do"
Jimeno put his feet on the side rung
of Castro's chair, puffed large gray
cloud and half closed his eyes. He then
for three-quarters of an hour, in "A low,
musical voice, discoursed upon the dig
nifty of the administration and the de-
pravity of the offenders. When his
brethren were beginning to drop their
heads and breathe heavily Alvarado po-

"Imprison themw exclaimed the i'm
petuous general, suddenly alert. with
such a governor and such people this
should be land white as the mountain
tops, unblemished by the tracks of mean
ambitions and sinful revolutions. Let
us be summary. although not cruel
Let no mans blood flow while there are
prisons in the CALIFORNIA;; but we must
pluck up the roots of conspiracy and
disquiet, lest thousand suckers grow
about them, as about the half cut trunks
of our redwood trees, and our Califor-
Mas be no better than any degenerate
country of the Old World. Let us cast
them into prison without further de-
bate"

members of the junta delivered their
opinions simultaneously; only Estenega
had nothing to say. They argued and

were all on their feet gesticulating and
prancing.
Mother of Godr' cried Requena
LET us give Vallejo taste of his own
cruelty. Let us put him in temascal
and set those of his Indian victims who
are still alive to roast him OUT
mo, no! Vallejo is maligned He
had no hand in that massacre His
heart is winter than an angels
1T is his liver that is white His heart
is as black as a blacksnake's. To the
devil with him!"
MAKE law that Pho Pico can never
put foot out of Los Angeles again, since
he loves it so well'--
His ugly face would spoil the next
generation"-
Death to Garlic and Iturbi Mon

No, no! As little blood in California
as possible. Put them in prison and
keep them on frijoles and water for
year. That will cure rebellion - no
chickens, no dulces, no aguardiente'-
Alvarado brought his staff of Office
down sharply upon board he had pro-
vided for the purpose.
"Gentlemen, he said, will you not sit
down and smoke another cigarito? We
must be calm"
The junta took TO its chairs at once.
Alvarado never failed to command re-
spect.
Don Diego Estenega," said the gov

LAS for Pho Pico, threaten to fine and
punish him. He will apologize at once

term of his submission to order him to
appear before the junta and make 1T an
apology with due humility.
