The sortie was made in three col

of English seamen and marines, among

as could be spared from the duties Of
the ship.
We sailed forth shortly before dawn.
The enemy. thoughs not altogether un-

by so large force. and at the first on

two guns and two ammunition wagons,
and drove the French from their first

were retaken and again taken several

MEXICAN BLOOD.
The Inhabitants Of Our Sister Republic
Descendants from Indians.

The Inhabitants OF Our Sister Republic
Descendants from Indians.
People of the United States have
some very queer ideas of our sister re
public of Mexico They think of the
Mexicans as Spaniards who have re-
ceived a dash of Indian blood. Now,
the fact is that Mexico is not Spanish.
but an Indian nation. The pure
blooded Indians constitute more than
one-haf the population of Mexico.
The remainder are chiefly Indians with
"a dash of Spanish blood. There are
very few pure blood Spaniards in Next
co, and these are hated with a hearty
good will by the Indians and
hybrids, who refer to them as 'guachu-
pins which appears to be Mex
lean for snobs. Contrary to popular
opinion in this country. there is very
little admixture with the negro race in
Mexico. The Mexicans have no partic-
ular objection to intermarrying with
the negroes, but there are very few of
the latter in the country. At Vera Cruz
and other coast towns there has been
some admixture with the coolies,
brought from the Manila islands The
lower Mexican states are almost ex-
clusively Indian, and millions of them
can not speak Spanish at all Many of
them are highly civilized and very
wealthy. Politically it is a great adj
vantage to be a pure-blooded Indian.
Benito Juarez, at one time law partner
of President Diaz, and regarded as the
Washington of Mexico, was a full-blood
'Oaxaca Indian. There are about six
million Indians in Mexico still classed

1t is the policy of the Diaz government
as outlined in the last annual report of

: civilize these Indians and make of them
valuable citizens, thereby more than
doubling the wealth-producing force of
the republic. Mexico is far behind the

Agriculture, the arts and COM

Those sharp traders stand no show in

think of paying the price demanded for

CHAPTER XIII.


AS the siege went on it took more and
more the character of a fight for the
tower, a duel between Bonaparte and
Phelippeaux; and. the two men being
brilliant soldiers, personal enemies, and
the representatives of opposing prin-
ciples, it was an exciting contest. Bon
aparte was energy incarnate. The
thought that a tumbie-town Syrian
town and a medieval tower were keep
ing him and his army at bay, and might
thwart the most daring and romantic
scheme of conquest which he had ever
conceived, made him wild with rage.
He would take Acre; he stormed and
rallied against Acre. One assault was
no sooner repulsed than he ordered
another. If he had been able to create
fresh battalions with a stamp of his
foot, he could not have sacrificed his
soldiers more lavishly. Kleber called
him general of ten thousand men q
week"
But
The foe, invulnerablc still.
Fooled his wild rage by steady skill
Phelippeaux, cool, cautious, vigilant
and intrepid, and Loyalty supported by
the commodore and the pasha, never
allowed himself to be taken at adj
vantage, and met every one of his ad-
versary's moves by some fresh expe-
dent. As fast as the breach was
widened he had the rent built up with
sand-bags and balks of timber, in such
fashion as to render the wall stronger
than before; and time after time storm
ing parties descended into the ditch
only to be driven back with heavy loss.
When our spies reported that the
French engineers were making a mine
with which they hoped to blow up both
tower and ditch, Phelippeaux began
to countermine; but, as the enemy had
the start of him by several DAYS. it was

bull side af the wheat market, left
orders with his brokers at Chicago to

customer the price OF the wheat and
asking II the order should still be exc.
cuted-
The reply came, mo price too

The order was filed. The market
broke 8 cents per bushel, but the
man in New street refused to make
the margin good or stand by his con.
tract, claiming that the telegram
company had made the mistake. His
answer to his brokers' question
was, mo. Price too high"
In lawsuit he was defeated. the

There seems no longer any doubt as
to the success of the Lucas Ship enter
prise, which involves the running OF
specially constructed steamers from St
Louis to Mexico and other Spanish
American points. The patent under
which the ships are to be constructed
involves the building Il a vessel which
can ply on the Mississippi even at low
water, but which can cross the ocean
safely. In many respects it resembles
the plan SO successfully adopted in
ocean racers of the City of Paris type,
and experts are of the opinion that the
necessary variations to enable the ship
to ply on the river at low water will
not impair the efficience. The success
full establishment of this line of steam
ers will revolutionize trade to a great
extent and will result in large in
crease in business between st. Louis
and intermediate points with the Gulf
ports. A large quantity of stock has
been placed in St Louis, Chicago and
other cities and active work on the first
ship is about to commence.
For years it has been the custom in
st. Louis for the Sons of the Fatherland
to celebrate German Day some time in
April by street parade and the pub
lie feast afterwards in one of the large
beer-gardens of the city. Last year
there was a pageant that rivalled that
of the Yelled Prophet in magnificence,
a succession of tableaus illustrating
the progress of German ideas in this
country. There were forty thousand
people in line, men and youths. This
year there will be no parade. German
society which has charge of the ar
rangements has determined to spend
all it's money and ideas assisting the
local committee which is preparing the
Columbian categorical procession for
September. At that time the city will
be crowded with visitors from the four
corners of the earth, who have come to
see the Exposition and the Yelled
Prophet, and a spectacle like the Ger
man costume parade will have hun
bred sight-seers then to one now.
