Especial Despatch To The Herald

IDkOO
ProyIncetowu, Mass, "Wednesday. ~
Saved by akllfuI seamanship and the pluck
of her engine crew, the water logged freight
steamer Santurce, from Boston to New York,
was brought safely INTO harbor here This
morning. She had spent a night Of peril eff
the end Of Cape Coo after being rpmmed
last evening by the oil tank steamer Li8o-
nier.
More than the injury of the collision, the
danger of the night or the safety OF the
morning, Captain Folker felt the desertion Of
seventeen Of his deck hands, who scurricd
over the sides of the vessel to the Ligonjer
while the steamers were grinding against
each other.
The collision took place off Cape Cod light
about eight O'Clock last night in the midst OF
a dense fog. The Li9onler was cropping her
way north through the smother Of fog for
Beverly. She struck the SuntuIce on the
starboard sid abreast of the main Ilggiug.
A twelve foot hole, which reached below the
water line, was torn IN the Sunturce's side.
Captain Folker, undismayed by the deser-
ton of half his men, with the help OF his
officers and the remainder Of the crew, had
the after bulkhead doors hurrledly closed
and all the after pumps started. The water
rose slightly in the fire pit but did not reach
the furnaces. Captain FoIker determined
to make an effort to reach Provincetown har-
Dor, twenty miles around the end OF Cape
Cod.
1t was a ticklish piece of work conxing
the water logged Santurce around the end
of the Cape. AT any moment the bulkLcad
doors might have given way under the pres
ure and the steamer settle in n minutes
time, vet her engine room force stocked away
as if coming down a safe harbor.

priest, but awaking Allende, both sought the
room of Hidalgo, 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 now
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 we'll that his COM
panions were in prison and the thread of the
revolution had been snapped, without troops,
without arms, he preferred 10 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
lowers. A march was made to Rincon, which
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

Hidalgo then set out for Guanajuato with
about $4,000 men, and when he reached the

had been used as a granary. Here the royal

Not even Chicago or Reno can boast Of a
franker contract than that, and there is some.
thing wonderfully naive in the idea of the
good lady Isis "discharging" her lord on the
ground that she hates him and loves another
better. The sum she returns him, as part Of

of the inhabitants put to the sword. The
houses of the city were pillaged and the de.
struction of property was general. Although
Hidalgo issued an edict and attached grave
penalties for the offenders. he was powerless
to prevent the excesses committed by the I'M
disciplined masses. After order had been
finally restored Hidalgo turned his attention
u the manufacture OF cannon for his troops
aad 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
ombat the revolution and through the medi.
UNI 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
trines 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 Valladolid 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
eHS Joh uiiu III u LiCubOh-
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
influenced in his decision by the news that
General Calleja had left San Luis Potosi with
endorsements. The retreating insurgents
and Calleja's 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
tackled and badly defeated by Calleja, with
great loss In killed and wounded.
Hidalgo, meanwhile, repaired to Guadala-
jara with his reorganized army and was re-
ceived with great pomp by the people Of the
city. Here he organized a form of government
with 1gnacio Lopez Rayon as secretary-general.
In January, 1911. Hidalgo moved from
Guadalajara with the largest army that was
ever under his command, meeting the much
smaller force Of the enemy under Calleja at
the bridge Of Calderon, about 35 miles from
the city. The defeat Of the royalists was
turned into victory by a series Of misfortunes,
