CHAPTER v.

The news of the arrival OF the Spanish
feet at the mouth Of the Mississippi river
came on the morning Of July "a, 1859. Cap
tain Marquis, who had been made COM
mander-in-chief when the insurgents occu-
pied New Orleans and drove out Ulloa, in
October, the year before, went to the mar
ket place in New Orleans with Petit and
others OF his friends to marshal the people
against the ~spaniards. They put on the
French cockade and appealed to the hatred
felt for Spain. but all their eloquence could
collect only 100 men, though Petit drew his
pistols and declared that he was ready to
shoot anyone who deserted the cause.
Finding their appeals hopeless, the lead
ers Of the revolution went to Governor
Aubry, who offered them no hope except in
complete submission to the ~Spaniards. He
told them that the king Of Spain could
not possibly come with the intention of
making war on the colony or terrorizing
It and he promised to use his good Offices
with Count o'Reilly in favor Of a general
amnesty.
Acting on such representations, Lafren-
iere, Marquis and Milhet, as representatives
Of the revolutionists, accompanied Aubry's
own representatives to OReilly's flagship
at the mouth Of the river, where they were
received with the utmost courtesy and APP
parent friendship. After an address, In
which Lafreniere assured him that the or
ders of the king Of Spain would be sufficient
TO put him in complete possession of the
colony, O'Reilly entertained them at din
ner and treated them with the Utmost
delicate politenees" and "the utmost suav-
ity Of manner"
As soon as he had landed his army at
New Orleans. however, and taken full pos
session. he ordered their arrest and after
a summary trial sentenced all those who
had been prominent in the revolution either
to death or Imprisonment and Punishment
with the conhscation of their property. Cap
tain Villare, who had commanded the Ger
man colonists during the insurrection had
been ~bayoneted In a struggle with his Span
ish guards, but he was tried and condemned
to 'infamy" with the rest.
This sentence, which O'Reilly as presi-
dent of the court declared on October "a,
1863, was as follows:

and forced her into. q carriage and
drove uown lane. Miss Yoast remon-
strated. but he commanded her to keep
quiet. He pulled her fascinator over
her face and told her IL she made an
outcry he would gag ner with hand
kerchief. He then gave her tablet,
probably morphine. which put her to
sleep. At about dusk she awoks and
noticed that she was being driven in
the direction of Mesilla. The stranger
compelled her TO alight and told her
to sit on box at the edge of an
acequia. He then turned mis- back for
a moment and the girl let herself drop
into the deep acequia and ran along in
the main ditch. 1t was pitch dark by
that time and she hid under a bridge
after running a mile or SO. She heard
her kidnaper searching for her and
cursing to himself but he firally gave
up the search. Inc girl then ran home
