According to Inspector General
Breckenridge, who has recently return

sense Of moral responsibility of the av-

was strongly impressed upon him one
day at military station near Santiago.
A gang Of bandits had been rounded up
by the troops, and with them a dozen
horses stolen from a plantation in the
vicinity. The general took a look at
the prisoners and noticed among them
n man who appeared to belong to n bet

called forward and through an in
