With the amount advanced they buy
little clothing and a great deal of mes
cal liquor, and have a round of pleasure.
at the END of which time they find their
money all some, and squad OF soldiers
waiting to escort them to their respective
camps. BY this means the mahogany cut
ters found they were able to extend their
camps in the vast wilderness of both
Chiapas and Guatemala, and there vir-
tually set up little principality of their
own. 1t is precisely the same system OF
slavery for debt devised by the stockade
owners of Anderson county, $. c. Patch
es of the forest are now cleared and
planted in corn, and the poems are fed
on this corn, which is first boiled in q
weak solution of potash water made from
ashes, and then ground between two
stones. An occasional wild boar or other
game from the forest is their only change
of food.
Few Of the poems realize the fate be-
fore them. because few return to tell OF
it. 1t is a long journey to the Monteros'
camp. a journey over trail where every
bit of food consumed on the way must be
carried, and sometimes water too, and the
Journey is one of days in forest abound
Ing in wild beasts. By the Mexican law
the peon can not be detained any longer
than necessary for him to work out his
Indebtedness, but what is the laws avail
TO the peon after he is once in the Mon
teros' camp His miserable insufficient
rood Is credited to him at prices SO high
that he can hardly avoid running fur
Their into debt. Moreover, the Montero
practices a system of treble entry book
keeping, by which method the poems debt
Is constantly increased instead of al
minshing.
AS an illustration OF this system a
story is told of a peon who, endeavor-
ing to keep track of his account. pro-
vided himself with a little memoran-
dunn book. in which he requested the
Montero to mark down his indebted
ness. Once having drawn five dollars
from the Montero he discovered that
he was charged with fifteen dollars. He
at once took the book to his mas
ter and required an explanation. The
Montero pretended to fly into a terrible
rage az the stupidity of the peon and
after swearing at him roundly, exclaimed:
Don't you see you - fool there were
the five dollars you asked me for, and five
dollars which 1 gave you, and Eve dollars
to be charged to your account and don't
three fives make fifteenT Get out of here
and go to work.
And they say that between the intervals
of swinging his ak that peon is still try
ing to find out how three f1ves make If
feen when he gets but one of them.
Women and even young girls are taken
into this slavery, and In the Mexican
towns there are ugly tales of kidnapping
told. The discipline of the camps is bitter
and cruel. For any INSTRUMENTATION there
is the lash and the prison house, and any
request for payment or release Is con-
strued as characterization. In some camps
the miserable creatures are chained to-
gether TO prevent their attempting to
escape, though their hope of ever making
