But the Senior F. Leonte Vasquez,

the facts underlying that little advel-

1t is WELL first, to know who Gen
Juan Isidro Jiminez is. You may see
him any day in the lobby of the little
Hotel Muro, in West Fourteenth
street.
Senior Muro is an impartial man. If
you ask him whether his hotel is ths
resort of revolutionists he will smile
and say that he knows not AS mat
ter of fact, he keeps free from entang-
ling alliances. He cares not whether
mis- dodgers are for or against the gov
eminent of the country from which
they come, if only they pay their

agents of the revolution and of agents
of the government are equally well

and whisper destruction to the Vas
quez administration, and the opposi-
ton whispers of bloody execution, con-
fiscation and life imprisonment in
Shiny dungeons in the other corner.
The Hobbies of the two hotels, the
Muro and the America, are full of rev.
olutionists and professional heroes.
But Gen. Francisco Lui Sandoyal is
the king of them all. If they could
take their places on the stage as the
supers of comic opera, there is no
question that Sandoval would be the
star.
Sandoval was born in Mexico He
began his career by planning a revo-
luton against Porfrio Diaz. Of all
really dangerous things that revolu-
zionist can spend time thinking of.
revolutions against that Diaz gentle
man are the most dangerous.
1t is an unhealthful occupation. The
list of its dead is long, and profession
al revolutionists do not speak of Mex
leo any more.
Sandoval is one of the few who ever
got away alive. He is fleet of foot.
There is now a standing reward of.
fered in Mexico of S., 900 for his head.
His sword and his military genius
have since been at the service of any
government or revolution that felt it
needed them. His business in New
York is the smelling out of war and
rumors of war and offering his ser.
vices.
Sometimes they are accepted. The
Colombian revolutionists hired him a
year or two ago, after the Colombian
government had most disdainfully
scorned his proffer of assistance to the
general of the Colombian army.
Everybody who knows anything
about South American affairs knows
that there are two great commercial
houses in New York that make a bust
ness of backing revolutions and gov,
ernments in So 18th America. Their
city Offices are not stones throw
apart, and the heads of them meet
frequently in society and business
upon the friendliest terms.
But in South America their armies
and navies are drilling and their pol
iticians are voting and maneuverins
and almost any day may see an open
outbreak of hostilities involving real
bloodshed and real campaigns, as they
have in tie past But these are not
fects the sentiment and they fall in
love with other gentlemen's ladies

due not only to the excellence of the
