A RECENT dispatch says that
Mexican silver 2 per cent. bonds
are firm at 80 and are in active de-
mand from Europe. These bonds
are now held in England, Holland,
France, Belgium, Austria, and
Spain, principally by small invos-
tors and European bankers. They
say the demand will continue, as it
is generally believed that silver
tends to rise rather than fall, and a
war in Asia would send silver up
rapidly.

LAST Saturday the Union and
Irrigation Canal company was
cited to appear in the Justices
court at Solomonville on a crimi-
nal charge of obstructing the pub
lie highway, on complaint sworn
to by Pedro Michelena. Where it
is alleged that the company has
obstructed the road is where the
canal crosses the county road just
north of Solomonville and at the
head of the canal. The present
head is where it was originally To-
Gated, but in 1890 another head
was constructed about mile be-
low, but that proving unsatisfac-
tory, the canal was rebuilt back to
the old head. After the canal was
finished a good bridge was con-
structed across the ditch and in
the county road. Representatives
of the company had the road over
seer of that district view the bridge
and asked him to receive it as a
county charge. The overseer said
the bridge was all right but that
he did not have the power to re-
ceive it, and that as soon as the
supervisors met he would get them
to view and receive it. The board,
however, has nothing to do with
receiving such work and did not
do it, but this the company did not
know and thought it was all right,
which it would have been had the
road ovcrseer known it to be his
duty to receive it. When the
floods came last summer the bridge
was washed away, but the CON-
pany thinking it to be county
property, and which, properly
speaking does belong to the county,
did not have it rebuilt as they did
not consider it their duty to do so.
The company propose fighting it
out as they consider themselves
not the responsible parties.

THE administration has taken
another step IN its apparent inten-
ton of playing the commercial and
financial interests Of this country
into the hands of Great Britain.
By ceasing the coinage of standard
silver dollars at most of the mints
the administration dea Is another
blow at the wealth of this country,
gives silver another setback in the
process of recuperation under the
maladministration of congress and
the treasury, and appreciates the
value of gold, thereby increasing
the demand for it and increasing
also the liability of the government
to gold drafts. Paramountly, also,
the stopping of silver dollar coin
age will allow the owners of gold
in Europe to get more in exchange
for their gold than they are able
to obtain now, although this ex-
change value already is abnormal.
In all soberness we say that ad-
ministration and governments have
been impeached and damned moral
ly for all time for the commission
of less foul offenses against the
masses of the people than this ad-
ministration has been guilty of re-

but Indians, and they went directly to
the church to pray and afterwards they
went to the house of Sandoval, and when
they saw Sandoyal they said: MAY this
be happy hour to you"
To which Sandoval replied: s'May it
be the same to you" The priest.
Gueyara, then addressed Sandoval. saving
that Diego Velasquez, the Governor Of
Cuba, had expended large sums of money
in fitting out this armada and that he
came to notify Cortes and the traitors
who were with him to go Immediately
and render their obedience to Pamphilo
Narvaez, who came as the Captain Cen
eral OF Diego Velasquez. When Sandoval
heard these injurious words he was
greatly enraged and replied ''Senor
priest, you have done i'll in using the
word traitor, because we are all more faith
ful servants of his majesty than Diego
Velasquez or your Captain Narvaez, but
because you are priest / will not infict

serves. 60 you, in the name of God, to

is Captain General and Chief Justice of this
country, and he will reply to you; here
you have nothing more to saw
The priest then haughtily turned to the
Escribano Vergara to read the proclama-
ton he had brought with him to Sandoyal
and those who were present; but Sandoval
instantly told the escribano not to read
any paper, as he did not know the nature

Now, the first letter reached the camp
OF Narvaez before Guevara, the priest
and when Narvaez read it he showed it to
his Captains, and he treated it scornfullv

named Salvatierra. fairly rayed with
rage and he said to Narvaez that he ought
not to read letters sent by such a traitor
as Cortes or those who were with him.
but that instead he ought to immediately
march against them and destroy them
all, and as for Cortes, he swore that he
would cut off his ears with his own hands
and roast and eat them.
AT this very moment the priest Cue
vara arrived in the camp and speaking
with Narvaez declared he had found Cor.
ties high minded gentleman and a true
and loyal servant of His Majesty, and he
told him OF the great power OF Mexico
and OF the many cities he had passed
through on his journey, and that Cortes
recognized the authority of Narvaez and
would do whatever he commanded. and
that it would be better for him to come
to an accommodation with Cortes THAT
Mexico was very great country and that
Cortes would give Narvaez and his people
whatever provinces they should selecr
while he would take what remained.
When Narvaez heard this he was so
angry with Padre Guevara and with
Amaya that thereafter he would neither
see nor listen to them; but when Guevara

CHAPTER XXXH
OF How Narvaez Sent Five Persons to Gonzalo
de Sandoval at Villa Rica, Calling on
Him to Surrender, and How They We're
Sent by Him to Mexico as Prisoners

When Narvaez had learned all about us
from the three deserters of whom | have
spoken. he sent Il priest named Guevara
and another man of some consequence, a
relative of Diego Velasquez, named
Amaya, and with them royal escribano
and three witnesses. to call on Gonzalo
de Sandoval to Immediately surrender.
But it seems that Gonzalo de Sandoval
already knew OF the arrival of Narvaez
and being man of great resolution he
Immediately sent all of the siok men
away to the Indian town and made prep
arations to defend himself and he made
all the soldiers pledge themselves to stay
with him to the last. He kept a good
watch on the road by which Narvaez
would have come, and he erected gall
lows on hill near by. And so one dav
his spies came in and said that six Span
lards and some Cuban Indians were ap-
preaching. Sandoval remained in mis-
house and ordered all the soldiers to do
likewise and that no one should speak to
those who were approaching. SO that
when the priest and those who were with
him entered the town they met no one

that although Narvaez had many men
and horses. vet that our Lord Jesus
Christ and His blessed Mother were ON
our side and that they would give us
power to conquer; and that Montezuma
should remember that our X ing was the
loru of many Kingdoms and provinces
and in them there were a great many
different races of people, some brave, but
others great deal more SO, and that we
were from CASTLE and that we were called
Castilians, while Narvaez and his men
came from province called Biscay, the
people of which We're all noted liars and
that they were considered in Spain as the
Otomis in Mexico, and that he would
soon see who would be the prisoner and
to whom God would give victory
Cortes also said to Montezuma that he
begged of him to treat Alvarado and those
who remained with HIM well and not to
allow his Captains or Papas to stir up any
rebellion during his absence on the coast,
so that If it pleased God that he should
return he should not have any cause to
punish them.
And after this he embraced Montezuma
twice, for Dona Marina had explained
the matter to him in such a way that he
sympathized with us, and lie assured
Cortes that he would do as he desired.
and he even offered to give Cortes 5000
warriors, and Cortes thanked him, say
ing it was not necessary, as we had God
with us, but at the same time he well
knew Montezuma would not send him any
assistance.
And presently Cortes called Pedro de
Alvarado and all who were going to re-
main with him, and he told the soldiers
to obey Alvarado in everything, and an
der no circumstances to allow MonteZuma
telescope; and he promised them all that
with the help of God, he would return
victorious and make them all rich And
wa thpn pn1 hrace1 each other and in
light marching order, not even taking
any women with us, we set out on our
march toward the coast. From Choula
Cortes sent messengers to Ilascala asking
for 5000 warriors: but they replied that if
we were to fight Indians like themselves
they would give him this and mucn
more, but to fight Teules and horses and
cannon, they could not consent that any
of their people should engage in such a
war. They sent, however, twenty cargoes
of chickens. Cortes then wrote to Sandoval
to join him with all his force at a place
The herald., 1895-04-14

called Tampaniquita, which is about
twelve leagues from Cempoal
We took the usual precaution on our
own march, sending scouts ahead OF us.
One day two of our scouts met Alonzo de
Malta, the escribano, and four witnesses
who came with him and presently we
came to where they were and they made
a grand reverence to Cortes and all of us.
But when Alonzo de Malta attempted to
read the proclamation Cortes stopped him
and asked him if he was royal escri-
bano, and when he sand he was, he told
him to show his authority and not a
copy but the original, under the King
seal, and that if he had this he could read
the proclamation and that he would
obey it in whatever was for the
interest of God and the King; but that If
he had not, not to read any papers. And
Mata, who was not royal escribano,
knew not what to say nor did those who
were with him.
Cortes ordered halt at this place and
ordered that the messengers of Narvaez
should be given food, and he told them
that he was going to Panguaniquita where
he would receive any messages Their Cen
eral desired to send him. and such was
the self-control of Cortes that he never
spoke i'll of Narvaez.
Soon after, when they had eaten. he
took them aside and spoke with them
and oiled their hands with some pieces of
gold and sent them back to Narvaez, and
when they reached Cempoal they spoke
well of Cortes and told marvellous stories
of how we all carried gold ornaments and
wore great chains of gold over our armor
and wore collars of gold also. so that a
great many OF the chief men i'll the camp
| of Narvaez were in favor of bringing
around an accommodation between CorteS
| and their chief.
| The day after we arrived at Panguani ,
| ouita Captain Sandoval reached there with
seventy soldiers, having left the sick and
| Id at a village OF our Indian friends
! named Papaloe. After Sandoval had told
Cortes of his interview with the furious
| priest. Guevara and other things that
| had occurred at Villa Rica he told of a
good jest he had played on Salvatierra. 1t
| seems that Sandoyal sent two Spanlards
| of his soldiers who were very dark,
dressed like Indians, to the camp of Mar
vaez and they carried with them two bas-
| kets of plums, which they sold to Saliva
/ terra for a necklace of yellow beads and
| afterwards he employed them to cut grass
! for his horse. and after this they sat on
! their launches arc und the camp until it
/ was dark and then they saddled and
| bridled the horse of Salvatlerra and rode
off on him. and when they We're leaving
| the camp they found another horse and
they TOOK it also. When Cortes heard this
story he laughed hear tily and said
Now that he is SO much the poorer We
will boast the morc,"
| heard afterwards that when Saliva
| terra found that his horse was stolen he
was so enraged and uttered SO many
! threats and malcdictions that the whole
| camp laughed at him.

gold they had seen in the camp of Cortes
and of the great SIMS for winch thew
gambled there. many OF the soldiers of
Narvaez wished they were with us in
stead of Narvaez.
Soon after, Padre Olmedo arrived there
and he went Immediately to kiss the
hands OF Narvaez and to pay him his re-
spects and to say to HIM that Cortes
ald that he wished for peace and good
feeling. But because Narvaez was man
OF stubborn disposition and very agrees
i've, he would not listen to him. but de-
clared that Cortes and those who were
with him were all traitors, to which the
friar replied that we were not but right
loyal vassals of our lord the King of
Spain.
And after this Padre Olmedo secretly de-
livered the letters Cortes had sent to the
Captains of Narvaez. and distributed the
gold and presents, all of which made a
great impression in our favor.

ships. | am displeased that you have
kept this secret from me and on the
other hand | am glad because your broth
ers have come. as you may all now return
to CASTLE together, so that there will be
no more difficulties.
When Cortes saw the paintings he was
greatly pleased and gave thanks to God
who had sent such opportune succor.
As for the balance OF us we were full of
Joy and we fired salvos for very gladness.
but Cortes was pensive, tor he well knew
that this was an expedition sent by Diego
Velasquez against us. And presently he
addressed us and explained the object for
which the armada had come and he made
US all rich presents of gold.

CHAPTER XXXIII
OF How We 10 Mexico Determined to Go
Against Narvaez, and of Montezuma's
Questions, and Of Our Meeting With the
Forces of SandovaI, Who Joined With Us

Immediately after Narvaez had sent the
oidor away he removed his camp to Cempo-
al, and his first act on his arrival there was
to take by force from the Cacique Gordo
his treasure, and he next took all the In
dian women who had been given to us
by the Caciques of the place and whom we
hao left with their relatives because they
were IN too delicate a condition to go
with us to the wars.
And the Cacique Gordo warned Narvaez
not to take any of the things left i'll his
power by Malinche, because he would be
very angry when he found it out and
would come from Mexico and kill them
both-the one for taking it and the other
for letting him do so. And the Cacique
also complained bitterly of the robberies
committed by the soldiers of Narvaez,
