bunriss SURPRISED the gsAefAi eiyin,

of long watch, with pallid brow, anf

few moments Of restorative rsst, which
no 70 greatly needed but his efforts wers
fruitless, for he was suffering from ar
excitement too intense, at the decisive
hour, for aleep to come and Close hil
eyes.
| Already the bells Of the churches were
pealing out. and filing the air with their
joyous notes In all the streets, and In
all the squares, boys and lereros were
letting on crackers, and uttering deafen-
Ing cries, which more resembled bursts
OF fury than demonstrations Of joy. The
people. dressed In their holiday clothes,
were leaving their houses In masses, and
spreading like a torrent over the city.
The review was arranged for seven
O'Clock a. m, so that the troops might
be spared the great heat OF the day.
They were massed on the Pase de Buca-
reli and the road connecting that prone
made with the Alameda.
We have already stated that the Mexi-
can army, 10000 strong, has 2,4OO efi-
GERS. Hence, in the enormous crowd as
sembled to witness the review uniforms
were in a majority, for all the officers liv-
ing on half pay in Mexico for some rea-
son or another, considered themselves
bound to attend the review as amateurs.
At quarter to O'Clock the drums
beat, the troops presented arms, deaf
ening shout was raised by the crowd, and
the President of the Republic arrived,
followed by large staff, giistening with
gold and lace, and with cloud of feath-
ers waving in their cooked hats.
General Guerrero had joined the Presi-
dents staff in his full dress uniform, as
Colonel Lupo and other conspirators had
also done; the rest, dispersed among the
crowd.
In the meanwhile the review went on
without any hitch. 1t is true that the
President restricted himself to riding
along the front, and then ordering the
troops to march past, for he did not
dare, owing to the notorious ignorance of
the officers and soldiers, risk the execu-
ton Of any maneuvers, for 1t would not
have been understood and would have
broken the charm under which the spec
tators were fascinated Then the Presi-
dent, still followed by his staff, proceed
ed to the cathedral. We will not say
anything about the official reception, ETC.,
which occupied all the morning.
The hour for the bull fight arrived.
Since the review no one troubled him
self about the troops, who seemed to
have suddenly disappeared-no soldier
was visible in the streets but the people
lid not think of them, for they were let
ing off fireworks, laughing and shouting,
which was quite sufficient to amuse them. |
1t was only noticed that these soldiers, |
hough invisible about the city, had ap- |
passed the word to each other |
% be present at the bull fight. Nearly |
he whole of the palcos de sol in the cir |
us, that is to say, the parts exposed to |
he sun, were thronged with. soldiers,
.rouped pell-mell with the le5eros, and |
'fering the most pleasant contrast with |
hese ragged scamps, who were yelling
nd whistling.
The President arrived, and the circus
vas in a second invaded by the mob.
'ince an early hour the jamaica had be-
I'm. that is to say, the framework of
endure raised in the center of the arena,
orming refreshment rooms, had since
aybreak been filed with countless num-
ers of leperos, who ate with cries of
srocious delight.
Suddenly, at a given signal, the gate
the torril was opened and a bull
lshed into the arena Then began an
indescribable scene, resem-
ing one of those diabolical meetings SO
designed by Cabot
The leperos, surprised by the arrival
the bull, darted, shouting, pushing
Id upsetting each other, over the frame
ork, which they threw down and tram
ed under foot In their terror, while
eking to escape the pursuit Of the en-
'llado, who, also excited by the turmoil,
lnted them vigorously. In second the
ena was deserted, the refreshment
oms swept clean. and the performers in
e jamaica sought any shelter they could
ID on the edge of the palcos or upon
e columns, from which they hung in
ieous, yelling and grimacing clusters.
The bull, after amusing himself for
me minutes In tossing about the re- I
Inns of the framework, stopped and I
,ked cunningly around, and soon no 6
ed the tree, the only obstacle left to
move in order to completely empty the s
ena.
He remained motionless for an instant, Z
if hesitating ere he formed a resolu- :
n, then bowed his head, made the sand
with his fore feet, dashed his tail
lently, and rushing at the tree, dealt
powerful blows. 9
The leperos uttered a cry of despair. :,

sanity sspped at its base by the bull, II
