CHAPTER XVII.
Guerra a CuchiIIo!"


Although Smithers' words are star
tling enough to alarm the bravest,
Travers does not show much indica-
tion of such feeling. as, following
the extended finger of his ugent, he,
too. readily discovers the moving fig
ures.
They appear to come out of the
woods in couples or little squads. At
that distance, and with only the fire.
light to guide him. Jack can see that
they are rough-looking men, some of
them negroes, carrying guns and ma
chetes; but that is as far as his OBJ
servation goes.
How his companion is enabled to
determine their identity as guerrillas,
and not the patriots fighting under the
banner of Gomez, is puzzle too deep
for Jack.
1t is time for prompt action. They
will have to retreat to their rude fort
ress and meet the expected assault
bravely.
Where is the guard?" asked Smith
ers.
''And All Sin?" echoes Jack.
Both have, indeed, vanished tempo
rarily. Nor do they appear to be in
side the fire lines.
I'VE will have to leave them out.
There is hardly room for all inside, at
any rate. Come, sir, let us enter"
At the door they meet the senior.
What is wrong, gentlemen" he
asks, quick to catch the scent Of dan
ger in the air.
The guerrilleros have come, senor.
I am afraid We will have war to the
knife" remarks Smithers; and Ro-
blado, thrusting out his head, beholds
the rough men already gathering about
the fire that is down the incline.
He utters favorite ejaculation.
"Senors, it looks as though we are
in for it. trust you will not forget
your promise to assist in the defense
of the ladies'" the old spaniard says,
hoarsely.
Several exclamations in feminine
voices from the dark interior announce
that both Juanita and her step-sister
have heard what manner of danger
menaces them
"You can depend upon us, senor,"
is the quiet response Jack makes.
The two men enter the compart-
ment, and the door is barricaded. All
Sin and the guard will ha ,e to look
out for themselves when the storm
cloud bursts.
It has hardly needed the words of
Smithers to warn Travers of the des-
perate business ahead of them, and
the only fear he experiences is for the
safety of Jessie.
There is peculiar satisfaction in
being SO close to this woman who has
entered in and taken possession of his
heart, although he is under bond not
to betray his identity. Jack rather en-
joys the situation. or at least he would
if it were not for the deadly peril
which hovers over the one he loves.
At any rate, he is deeply grateful for
the peculiar conditions that allow him
the privilege of standing up in her de-
fence.
Little is said within the car; the time
for words has gone by, and action
must take their place.
So far as they can see, the newcom-
ers have not as yet fully grasped the
true inwardness of the situation. At
tracted by the light of the fires, they
have arrived at the railroad, to find a
standing there; but what that
vehicle of transportation actually con-
tains is as yet but surmise with
them.
Jack does not fancy their looks at
all.
He has been thrown in contact with |
crowds of rough men during his life |
On Texan plains and in Colorado !
but never ", all bis expert !

Bravo cries Jack: such sublime
courage must always command my re-
sDect- | am at your side, senor. II
there are ladies to protect. every man
here, l am sure, will do his duty
Jack undoubtedly means every
word. although he dresses his Ian
guage in this bombastic manner in or
der to match RobIado, who. impressed
witt: the fact that his devotion to duty
as a Spanish gentleman has borne
fruit, eagerly reaches out his long thin
hand.
''air, salute you. Such sentiments
of lofty courage must always bind the
hearts of brave men in common
brotherhood. There are four of US
nay, six-to stand against the enemy
We will be a match for all they can
bring against u.s.
The battle, Or massacre, whichever
it may be, still goes on" remarks
Spencer, who thus enters into the con-
versation for the first time.
Then let us be making ready
against a possible attack, for l am
strongly inclined to believe some of
the rebels will find their way aloug
the back trail, looking for us, as tie
absence of my carriage from the train
is sure to be noticed"
Hurrying to the side of the compart-
ment they proceed to do whatever is
possible in order to protect the in
tarior. All work with vim-cushions
are utilized, the guard brings various
articles from his den, and In very
brief space of time quite respectae lie
showing is made.
Come" says Jack, with consider
able satisfaction, when Smithers ap-
pears with his arms filed with more
truck with which to fill the cracks
and crannies, eve are doing nobly, my
dear fellow. But, honestly, do you
imagine there is any possibility of Our
being attacked here@'-lowering his
voice to whisper.
We'll, 1t wouldn't surprise me- re-
Joins the other, slowly and seriously.
But if it should come-they are
your friends, you know-would You
open fire on them?" continues Trav-
.ers. seeking to cut Gordian knot oy
the most direct method.
Not if they were Gomez and his
men. know them we'll, and their bat
tie cry of Cuba libra is music to my
ears. But there are others, sir"
Others! You mean the Spanish
soldiers may retreat this way?"
Not at all. Have you not heard of
th. guerrilleros-the men who fight
under no flag, who war upon every
one they meet, robbing pacifico and
beiligerent alike?"
Yes, have heard of these devils.
But why should you fear that they
may descend upon us?" inquiries Tray
ers. They are standing Just outside
the carriage, with All Sin and the
guard near by, ready to enter at any
time should it be necessary, and as
their conversation is carried on In low
tones, the chances of its being over
heard are slight indeed.
These human birds Of prey seem
to have inside information as to when
battle is about to take place, and
they hang round like dogs waiting to
pick up the crumbs from the masters
table. l only hope some day both Co
mez and the Spaniards will turn round
and hunt these miserable go-betweens

borhood and see US, we must expect
to fight for our lives"
Now understand what you mean.
The fires will draw them"
That is fact. sir, II they come
at ALL"
What we meant for our preserva-
tion may prove our ruin. Well, it often
happens so. Perhaps 1t might be wise
to extinguish them, and remain in the
dark. We could have them ready to

General Stoessel
Much Criticised

London, Jan. 19.-The latest news
as to the condition of Port Arthur
when it was surrendered TO the Japan
ese occasions much discussion as TO
General Stoessel's reason for capitula-
tion. Criticism, however, is generally
lenient, there being a tendency TO re-
gard General Nogi's tributes to Gene
raj Stoessel'f courageous defense as
much in his favor, and the inclination
is to credit General Stoessel with the
knowledge that the morale of his gar
rison was shattered.
The Daily Telegraph's Kobe cores
pendent gives a somewhat theatrical
account of the final meeting between
the generals at Port Arthur prior to
the surrender, which account was OBJ
tianed from Russian generals at Ma
gasaki. According TO this account, IL
generals assembled at General Stoessel
house. Asked the reason for two adj
ditional chairs vacant, General Stoes-
sci, bursting into tears. explained that
they formerly belonged to beloved de-
parted; and, having paid tribute to
the gallant dead, General Stoessel
abruptly exclaimed: Well, gentle
men, presume we will fight to the
end.
The discussion which ensued show
ed that the only alternatives were
prompt surrender or speedy annihila-
ton. Then champagne glasses were
filed, and the emperor's health was
solemnly honored. Meanwhile the ar
tillery Numbered outside, and as sever
al shells burst in the vicinity General
Stoessel ordered the removal of the en-
peror's photograph, the sole adornment
of the bare walls, remarking: 1T is
not right that his majesty should wit
ness such proceedings.
The decision to capitulate being
unanimously reached, each general
signed the record, many sobblng aloud.
Finally, General Stoessel stood at
attention, silently offering prayer,
brought his sword to salute, shouted,
Long live the car" which the
others repeated in chorus, and the
council ended.
1t is said that Madame Stoessel SEEM
ed stunned and cried aloud when she
heard the decision. 1t is added that
acute estrangement exists between
General Stoessel and his men, owing
to the arrangement of favorable terms
for the officers and not for the men.

TO DYNAMITE BRITISH Ships
HAS AN ITCHING TO DO HARM TO
STATUTES OF KINGS.
cessler Rousseau Admits to Police
That He Shipped Internal Machines
--ls Patriotic Fanatlc-Tried to
Extort Money From Brother Of Miss
ing Owen Kelly, Rich Irish American.

Philadelphia, Jan. 16.-"Gussler
Rousseau" who was arrested in this
city on Thursday with an unloaded in
fernal machine in his possession, ad-
mits to the police that he is the man
who attempted to destroy the statue
of Frederick the Great in Washington,
and also that it was he who sent the
trunk containing an internal machine
TO the British steamer Umbria in New
York in May, 1908.
The prisoner, whose right name is
not known, made these admissions in
the office OF Captain Donaghy of the
Philadelphia detective bureau, after
he had been identified by persons
brought here from New York and
Washington for that purpose. He gives
no reason for the attempted outrages
except that there are too many for
eign affairs in this country"
After having Rousseau under fire an
afternoon the police classed him as IAN
American patriotic fanatic" The
prisoner gave no information volun-
tarily to the police, he admitting only
those things which the police had fast
ened on him. Both the Washington and
New York authorities want the man,
and 1t is probable that he will be turn
ed over to the police of the latter city
Tried to Backmaii Kelly.
The apprehension of Rousseau was
due to the disappearance of owen KEEL
ly, a wealthy Irish American, who is
prominent in Irish American societies
in this country. Kelly disappeared on
October 25 and from time to time the
newspapers have published articles on
the mysterious disappearance. On
Thursday he called on Patrick Kelly,
the brother of the missing man, and
offered to take him to his brother in
New York for $500. He said he and
Owen Kelly belonged to secret So
cieties that were organized for the
purpose of blowing up British ships in
American ports. The valise he carried,
he said, contained explosives. Patrick
Kelly notified the police, and Rousseau
was taken into custody. The valise
contained an Internal machine of the
clock arrangement variety, but no ex-
plosives. About the machine was
wrapped a Washington newspaper.
This gave the police the clew that he
might know something of the explos-
ion at the statue of Frederick the
Great, and his picture was taken and
sent to both the Washington and New
York authorities. In the meantime, he
was also suspected of knowing some
thing Of the steamship Umbria Incl
dent.
