Hidalgo issued an edict and attached grave
penalties for the offenders, he was powerless
to prevent the excuses committed by the I'M

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-
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 counteract the effect of this on the
minds Of the people. Hidalgo published an an

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
the roya1ist forces under command of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Trujil1o, 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 Hida1go about 1000

This was the beginning Of the end OF

greater civilization and progress of his country.
In 1909 there was formed in Valladolid
conspiracy which had for it's object the assem-
bling in Mexico City Of 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 thems 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, or mayor, Of that city, who fur
nished many recruits pending the time when
secret action would be no longer necessary.
At this time Hida1go became enlisted In the
cause of the conspiracy; but 1t is not known
nv what motives he was Influenced. He had
had numerous discussions with his friend, 1g-
nacio Allende, regarding independence, but
with no more serious object on his part than
nure 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
%eTnber 1910 H1daigo received a leLCer IFOIu
A1lende at Queretaro asking him to come to
that city on q matter of much importance. He
went but was little impressed by the people
he met. as they were without resources and
~ small importance ead he returned to his
home somewhat disguised with his visit How
ever another letter from Al1ende 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 rs 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 AIlende who arrived in Dolores on
the night OF September A. 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
