RENEGADES
Create a Feeling Of Appre-
hension in China.
Awful Power of "Black Flags" Pre-.
vents Their determination.

HoNG KONG, May 6.-The situation in
the island Of Formosa Is serious, and fears
are entertained for the lives Of the foreign
ers there. British and German marines
have been landed at Anplpg, on the south
west coast, TO protect the foreign resi-
dents, and Takau harbor, south Of An
ping, is being patrolled by blue jackets in
armed launches. The Black Flags are most
unruly
The Black Flags are predatory, irregular
forces They are not in China's pay,
though sometimes she has a little author
ity over them. Warfare is their profes-
sion and they depend upon IL for bread,
and they raid and rob Chinese and Others
indiscriminately. They have no law but the
commands of their leaders. They are
much bolder and more warlikc than the
average Chinaman and have little fear OF
death.
Tho French were greatly troubled by
them in Tonquin. 1t is said II the Chinese
can turn the Black Flags upon any spe-
cially hated enemy, they consider 1t
great stroke of enterprise. II is also said
that when the French, during the Tonquin
campaign, sent an officer to Tien- Tsin To
complain TO Viceroy LII Hung Chang
against the outrages of the Black Flags
and TO demand that he secure their pun
ishment, the viceroy said that he had no
more control over them than the French
had; they were robbers and scamps, and
China disavowed them. China would be
delighted If the French caught them and
beheaded them.

Younger.
Among these moves the taciturn Cap
tain Bonaparte. On the 10Th of October
he is promoted to be major and chef-de-
Battalion. He is placed at the head of
tho a~rtillery-his W place, as events
will show. Tradition has it that he
eats little; sleeps among his gun-car-
riages; laughs not at all Except once,
when "a young man by his side lodging
from a shell is cut in two by IT'D; is
sun tanned to a bronze. He with the
rest sees that Toulon is not taken; but
unlike the rest he studies the map, and
going from place to place, uses his spy
glass. He looks many times at Fort
L'Eguillette, where the British flag is
flying. Toulon is indeed strong. Ad-
miral Hood says that he will beat back
this French army and make the place
still stronger. He will make it a second
Gibraltar-if the unforeseen do not pre-
vent him.
But the unforeseen prevents. For
more than two months the siege pounds
itself away in vain. Then there is a
council of war. The older officers, thor
oughly imbued with military '%'science,"
suggest this method and that method
of taking the town. The National rep
resentatives look OH. Toulon must be
taken; and the Convention has sent an
impossible plan of doing it. 1t comes
Napoleon's time to speak. "Yonder,"
says he, 'is Fort L'Eguillette. Take
that; it is the key to all. Here into that
ravine is a line of approach-to a Ger

Dashaway-I had a queer experience
while I was calling on Miss Penstock last
night. AS we were conversing she sud
denly tainted away.
Cleverton-You don't tell me! Any
thing serious?
Dashaway-Oh, no. 1t only lasted a few
moments, but we were alone at the time,
and I can tell you I was ratified at first,
but fortunately I retained my presence of
mind.
Cleverton-What did you dor
Dashaway-Oh, I gently lowered her
head, stepped into the hall and got some
water, and then, after dashing some on
her face, I waited. Old fellow, it was a
thrilling moment, I can tell you, to stand
there in the presence of such tr~anscendent
loneliness, her pure white face upturned
to mine, helpless for the time being.
Cleyerton-I suppose you felt just like
kissing her.
Dashaway-I confess that something OF
that sort came into my mind, but I ban
ished 1t at once as being unworthy of me.
Thank heaven, I am too much of a gen
tleman for that. Nothing could have been
more cowardly. And so, as I gazed into
that beautiful face, it made me SO glad to
think that it was I who was there to pro-
teot her n not some other fellow, who
might have presumed upon her helpless
ness. 1t wa a grand, inspiring thought,

mouths and look wise. This is danger
Gus; but Major Bonaparte may try it!
So on the 18th of December, 1898, he
tried it; and the thing was done. Fort
L'Eguillette was bombarded, and car
ried by storm. The Royalists fed to the
British ships, and Hood took wing by
sea. TOulon was not made into "anoth-
or English Gibraltar. The Revolution
has Toulon, and will keep it forever.
The National representatives see who it
is that has done this. Only three days
afterwards Napoleon is nominated gen
eral of Brigade. He is now twenty-four
years four months old. His appointment
is approved-after a little delay; and
IN the 10th Of February, 1894, he re-
ceives his commission.
After Toulon, the name of Bonaparte
was heard in Paris. The younger Robes
pierre informed the Convention that he
was ''of transcendent merit" The re-
port of Dugommier said, "Among those
who distinguished themselves most and
who most aided me to rally the troops
and push them forward are citizens

acknowledgement" The success of the
chef de- Battalion in the siege and cap
ture, and the favorable report of it pro-
duCed a sensation in the National Con-
vention; but the impression on that
body and on the public was as yet only
transient. At this epoch, when all quar-
ters Of France were shaken with COM
motions and local revolutions, the bril-
liant capture of a single fort and town
on the Mediterranean was not enough
to create a permanent military fame.
The Convention contented itself with
making General Bonaparte Inspector"
Of the coast-country, between the Rhone
and the Var. His duty was to maintain
order in that region, and to complete
the Revolution.
By the close of the year, however,
the old spirit was virtually extinguished
in Southeastern France; and Napoleon
found little to satisfy his restless spirit.
His tours of inspection and duties con-
nected Herewith occupied his time I'M
til February of 1894, when he was re-
called to Paris. That city was now a
seething cauldron. The Reign of Terror
was at its acme. That period, unpar-
alleled in human annals, extended from
March of 1898, when the Revolutionary
tribunal was organized, to July 2Sth OF
the following year, when Robespierre

For Napoleon, Toulon was the open
gate to greatness. His destiny, for
which he sought SO diligently, came to
him W among the guns of his
battery there. Those guns were trained
first III Fort L'Eguillette, and then on
the British ships of Admiral Hood. our
ships, including the good ship Orient,
in which, after four years and seven
months, we shall embark for Egypt, are
pcnt up in a nook of the harbor. Over
the town, through October and Novem-
Der, floats the banner of st. George.
The Lily flag of the Bourbons has given
place, not to the new Tricolor of the
Revolution, but to the foreign ensign of
q hated foe; under that are rallied the
Royalists of Toulon. 1t is to be noted
that the FIRST and the last of Napoleon's
guns are directed against the flag Of
England. From Toulon to Waterloo!
