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 Cod
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 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

demands having been complied with, he now

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 lance
and borne aloft as the future banner of the
revolution. while the battle cry became Long

Spaniards!" And yearly General Diaz gives

such money and arms as they could lay their

was placed second In command

about $4,000 men, and when he reached the
city he found that the Spaniards had taken

had been used as a granary. Here the royal

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 excuses committed by the un-
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-
um 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 counteract 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 CON-
menced his march to Vaadolid, intending at
nrst 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.

through the enemy's rear and retreat to Mex

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

city. Here he organized form of government

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 IS miles from
the city. The defeat OF the roya,ists was

among them, giving all his energy to the
greater civilization and progress Of his country.
In 1909 there was formed in Valladoltd a
conspiracy which had for it's object the assem-
ping In Mexico City of congress to govern
New Spain in the name of Fernando VII in
the event that the mother country shou,d 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 FL,
but being discovered, all the consprators 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
corregdor, or mayor, Of that city, who fur
nished many recruits pending the time when
secret action would be longer necessary
At this time Hidalgo 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, L.
nacio Alleude, regarding independence, but
with 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
tember 1910, Hidalgo received letter from
Allende at Queretaro asking him to come to
that city matter of much Importance He
went, but was little impressed by the people
he met, 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
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 on
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 being an ardent believer
In the revolutionary movement, sent q 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 name of ALBANIA, who
left Immediately for Dolores, arriving there
at two o'clock in the morning of the sixteenth

They are about $50 miles in extent and
are said to have contained 100000
bodies. During the prosecutions of the
Christians under Nero and other Ro-
man emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Diocle-
tian the catacombs were crowded with
those for whom there was no safety
in the face OF the day. The art Of the
catacombs is unique and most inter-
