The Trappist monks Of Mcllary, in

who come daily to their hospitable

same with the Spanish monks in the
Philippine islands? The English mon
asteries in the time Of Henry VIII owned
valuable property and that royal tyrant
confscated it. The poor VINO were cdu-

Col. O'Hara's fame rests not upon his
military exploits, but his authorship OF
one Of the most famous poems in Ameri-
can literature, eight lines OF which have
been adopted as legends for our National
Cemeteries. These are the familiar lines
beginning:
"On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread.
And Glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac Of the dead"
Col. O'Hara served in the Confederate
army during the war of the rebellion and
afterwards was editor of newspapers nj
Mobile and Louisville. The poem in ques-
ton was written in commemoration of the
Americans who fell at Buena Vista i'm the
Mexican war. The portrait given above
is reproduced from an old ambrotype, and
is now first published.

While lying at anchor some 40 miles of
the Florida coast, waiting for pilot to
take them into the harbor, they were pur-
sued by the Spanish ship Pizarro, which
had come out from Key West. Full
steam was put on and the Gre ole showed
some lively heels in the race for life and
liberty. The coal was shoveled in rapidly
and constantly, and soon the last Jumps
were on the blaze; but still the goal was
not reached. Then sides of bacon, old
clothes and barrels of resin were fed
the flames, until only two barrels of resin
remained when the Creole raced up to the
pier at Key West with the guns of her
purSuer close aStern.
Upon landing, a consultation was held
as to what could be done for the members
of the party, who, it will be remembers
had had no financial benefit from the ex-
pedition, beyond the 81 doubloons taken
at Cardenas. Gen. Lopez had 81 500,
which he turned over to the committee,
and they divided 81 100 among the men,
returning the remainder to their superior
officer.
Once upon their native land again, the
band of LiberatorS soon began to scatter,
the last detachment leaving Key West on
May %, 1850.
In this connection it may be of interest
to our readers to know something of the
personality of the leaders of this expedi-
ton, and the reasons for their sympathy
with the enterprise.
Gen. NarciSo Lopez, a native of MiSSiS-
sippi, was at this time about 40 years of
age, strong, agile, rapid of movement and
capable of great endurance. Restless,
dark eyes shOne from pale countenance,
and he wore a grayish, wiry beard. He
was of medium size, Suave in manner
and simple in dress.
Adi't-Gen. Ambrosia j: Gonzales was
born at Matanzas, Cuba, but at very
early age was sent to New York, where he
was educated by some exiled French, and
was thoroughly imbued with republican
principles While still lad he returned
to his native land, where he studied law
and was graduated when only 20 years
old. Becoming dissatisfied with his pro-
fession, he abandoned it and taught Latin,
mathematics, geography and modern Ian
guages in the two royal colleges in Ha-
vana until he was 26. Upon the death of
a beloved parent at this time, he decided
to travel, and spent two years visiting
The National tribune., 1898-07-14

directions. But they finally succeeded in
batteTing down the doors of the garrison,
whercupon 30-odd Spaniards rushed out,
throwing of their uniforms and shouting
Viva Lopez" As brisk shooting con-
tinued, however. from the windows OF the
palace, il was decided To fire the building,
and in a short time ri was but heap of
ruins and the city had surrendered The
Governor, with three of his civil and mill
tary officials, was taken prisoner, and the
battle of three hours was ended.
Adj't.-Gen. Titus went TO the Custom
House and demanded the "availableS" of
her Maiesty's Government, and the polite
functionarieS not only offered him fruit S
and wine, but pointed out the safe and
sent two negroes along with him To carry
it. When this strong box was broken
open il was found to contain 81 doubloonS,
the sole prize of victory.
Gen. Lopez walked about talking to the
people as he distributed his proclamation;
and he made a speech to the soldiers who
had been captured, giving them some OF
his printed appeals To the Spanish army.
These prisoners then tore off the uniform
OF Queen Isabella, trampled on it and
shouted "Hurrah for Lopez and Liberty
But not a Cuban Joined him. Some 90
TO 100 expressed their desire to unite with
him whenever they could be furnished
arms and officers, and others gave him
few old shOtguns and 40 or so fine horses.
Rut they thought 1t unsafe To JOIN so
small a party, as, before the next day,
5 900 Spanish troops could be sent
against them, and Lopez's forces would
be annihilated.
Still it was thought Lopez would ad
vance TO Matanzas, and all the afternoon
the railroad was used under charge of
QuartermaSter ThoS. z. Hoy, of Calves
ton, Tex, to take the baggage from the
steamer to the depot. However, toward
night, the General expressed his inten-
ton of re-embarking, and the baggage
was reshipped and q little coal and
water were taken aboard.
About o'clock the LouiSianians and
were ordered TO return TO
the ship, but about 175 Kentucllians were
left up in town to act as a rear-guard, as
it was learned that some 200 Spanish
infantry and 100 lancerS had reached
The city.
After the withdrawal of so many of the

ing, could not fail to enlist his sym
pathies on the side tof iusticc and liberty
and at the end of his travels we find him
back in Cuba n fulkfedged conspirator.
Col. Theodore OIIara, of Frankfort, Ky,
had been a lawyer and editor in kentucky,
an attache of one Of the Departments at
Washington, and an officer in the Mex
land of the MOdeZumaS he resided
again in Washington and it was while
there he met Gen. Lopez and was won
over to the Cuban cause.
Lieut.. Col. John L. Pickett, of Washing
ton City, was young man of refined
taste and gentlemanly manner, and was
something of a scholar. AT one time he
was United States Consul at Turks
Island, and it was while there he began
planning to Tevolutionize Cuba. He en-
ioyed the distinction of having had a
reward OF S25, 600 offered for his head by
the Spanish officials of Cuba. His first
expedition was suppressed at New York,
but, later, he went west with Col. OHara
and helped organize the enterprise of
which we have Just read.
And what became of the 10 deserters our
adventurers left at Mugeres Island?
When the Creole sailed from ContOy Bay
some of the dcSerters, in sport painted a
kerchief, and stuck it up on the beach,
and this bit of fun was destined, later, to
cause them some inconvenience.
They had failed to take with them any
arms, except one or two bowie knives, and
as the natives proved very hostile, they
were compelled to seek an isolated part of
the island, where strict guard was
maintained every night
They would have starved had they not
been lucky enough to kill a large turtle,
the rest was eaten raw. The only other
food they had was lizards, berries and
roots, and a few tOrtillas which some OF
them had been able to purchase OF a
woman in exchange for some needles they
happened to have. After a week of this
semi starvation a Yucatan war vessel
reached Mugeres, and, seeing the piratical
emblem on the beach, seized the whole
party and carried them off as pirates.
They were sent to Campeche, where they
