priest but awaking Allende, both sought the
room of Hidago, who Immediately arose and
exclaimed: Gentlemen, we are lost; there is
now no other recourse but to attack the Span
iards" To which ALBANIA replied: "Sir. what
are you going to do? For the love of God,
what is to be done?" After this several hours
were spent in vain discussion. Hidalgo
showed his greatness. He did not think of
flight although on account of his sacred pro-
fession he could easily have found safety. But
he preferred to fight for his principles and his
convictions. Knowing full well that his COM
panions were in prison and the thread of the
revolution had been snapped, without troops
without arms he preferred to face almost GER
tain death, remembering his warning to AL
lende, that seldom the originators of such
undertakings enjoyed the fruits of their efforts
Hidalgo then, with his brother, Allende,
Albania and eleven other men left his house
fully armed and proceeded to the jail, and,
threatening the mayor with his pistol, demand
ed the release of his fellow-conspirators. His
demands having been complied with, he now
had 80 men, whom he armed with the swords
Of the soldiers of the regiment OF the queen
which were delivered to Sergeant Martinez.
1t was Sunday and earlier than the usual
hour for mass. Hidalgo, however, summoned
the people of the town and the farmers from
the surrounding country, from whom he Sc
cured by his eloquent words about 300 fol-
was taken without resistance, and many Span
iards were made prisoners Then proceeding
to San Miguel ell Grande, he surprised the
garrison and obtained arms and money. Mean
while his march through the villages had aug
mented his ranks with people Of all classes
principally Indians with machetes. He had
found at one place an image of the Virgin of
Guadalupe, which was attached to a lance
and borne aloft as the future banner of the
revolution. while the battle cry became Long
live the Virgin of Guadalupe and death to the
Spaniards!" And yearly General Diaz gives
this "grito" at eleven o'clock on the night OF
September 49, as he stands with his veneer

ing the houses of the Spaniards and securing
such money and arms as they could lay their
hands on. Here Hidalgo proclaimed gen.
eral by a congress of the people, and Allende
was placed second in command.
Hidalgo then set out for Guanajuato with
about $4,000 men, and when he reached the
city he found that the Spaniards had taken
refuge in a large and strong building which
had been used as a granary. Here the royal
lists had brought the government treasury and
their private wealth, fortifying themselves as
best they could. After bloody conflict the
place was finally stormed and taken and most

LACK OF MONEY
Was a Godsend in This Case.

1t is not always that lack of
money is benefit.
A lady of Green Forest, Ark, owes
her health to the fact that she could
not pay in advance the fee demand
ed by specialist to treat her for
stomach trouble. In telling of her
case she says:

ent physicians during 10 years Of
another who told me he could not cure
me; that / had neuralgia of the stom-
ach. Then went to q specialist who
told me / had catarrh Of the stomach
and said he could cure me In four
months but would have to have his
money down. I could not raise the
necessary sum and in my extremity
was led to quit coffee and try Postum.
$50 I stopped coffee and gave Post
UNI q thorough trial and the results
have been magical. I now sleep well
at night, something / had not done

of the inhabitants put to the sword. The
houses of the city were pillaged and the de-
struction of property was general. Although
HdalgO issued an edict and attached grave
penalties for the offenders, he was powerless
to prevent the excuses committed by the
disciplined masses. After order had been
finally restored Hidalgo turned his attention
to the manufacture of cannon for his troops
and the minting of the silver bars, from the
many mines in that vicinity, which had been
captured in the city.
Meanwhile the government prepared to
combat the revolution and through the medi-
of the church sought to gain control over
the minds of the lower classes, an edict of ex-
communication being issued by the the bishop
of Michoacan against Hidalgo, Allende and AL
dana. To counterfeit the effect of this on the
minds of the people. Hidalgo published an an
swer, declaring his firm adherence to the doc
tripes of the Catholic faith and calling upon
all to resist their oppressors.
On the eighth of October Hidalgo COM
menced his march to Valladolid, intending at
first to attack Queretaro. Hearing of his COM
ing the authorities of Valladoid deserted the
city and the army of insurgents was received
by the citizens with great ovation
On October 10 Hidalgo marched toward
Mexico City and was met at Las Cruces by
the royalist forces under command of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Trujillo, who was surrounded by
the insurgents and forced to cut his way
through the enemy's rear and retreat to Mex
leo City. The battle cost Hidalgo about 1000
in killed and wounded and instead of advanc
ing on the city he determined to retreat being

General Calleja had left San Luis Potosi with
reinforcements. The retreating insurgents
and Callejas forces met at Aculco; the for
mer, however, with but little fighting, contin-
ued their retreat, leaving in the field their
baggage and artillery. Hidalgo, with reduced
forces, retired to valladolid, while Allende
posted himself at Guanajuato and was at

great loss in killed and wounded.
Hidalgo, meanwhile, repaired to Guadala-
lara with his reorganized army and was re-
ceived with great pomp by the people of the
city. Here he organized form of government
with Ignacio Lopez Rayon as secretary general.
In. January, 1911, eHidalgo moved from
Guadalajara with the largest army that was
ever under his command, meeting the much
smaller force of the enemy under Caleja at
the bridge of Calderon, about 35 miles from
the city. The defeat of the royalists was

among them, giving all his energy to the
greater civilization and progress of his country
In 1909 there was formed in Valladoid a
conspiracy which had for its object the assem-
bling in Mexico City of a congress to govern
New Spain in the name of Fernando VII in
the event that the mother country should fall
to the arms of the French which without
serious intention might probably lead to the
independence Of the country. The uprising
was planned to take place on December 81,
but being discovered, all the conspirators were
imprisoned. However. there being but little
evidence against them, they were soon given
their liberty
The conspiracy being suppressed in Valla
dolid, sprang up in Queretaro with renewed
strength. Here it received protection from the
corregidor, mayor, of that city, who fur
nished many recruits, pending the time when
secret action would be no longer necessary
At this time Hidago became enlisted in the
cause of the conspiracy; but it is not known
by what motives he was Influenced He had
had numerous discussions with his friend, Ig-
nacio Allende, regarding independence but
with no more serious object on his part than
pure argument and without thought of TAX
ing any active part in the movement. Allende,
however, was quick to interest himself in the
cause, although warned by Hidalgo that the
originators of such enterprises seldom enjoyed
the fruits of them. But in the month of Sep
TENDER, 1910, H1ddlgO received a letter from
Allende at Queretaro asking him to come to
that city on matter of much Importance. He
went but was little impressed by the people
he met as they were without resources and
of small Importance, and he returned to his
home somewhat disguised with his visit. How
ever, another letter from Allende pictured the
state of affairs in such encouraging words that
he decided to give his time and energy to the
cause. He had made in the town Is lances
and placed himself in communication with the
drum major and two sergeants of the battalion
of Guanajuato in order that they might secure
some troop for the revolution. His efforts,
considering the short time which he had, were
most successful but, unfortunately, the con-
spiracy reached the ears of the authorities and
many were imprisoned. Hidalgo sent immedi-
ately for Allende, who arrived in Dolores
the night OF September IA, and the whole of
the next day was spent in conferences without
any decision being reached as to the best
course to pursue.
Meanwhile josef Ortiz, the wife of the cor
regidor OF Queretaro. bef1g an ardent believer
in the revolutionary movement sent messen-
ger to the town of San Miguel ell Grande so
that Allende should be informed of the news.
Not finding Allende, who had been summoned
by Hidalgo, the message was delivered to an
other conspirator by the tame of Albania who
left Immediately for Dolores, arriving there
