useless, because had one shot been
 I'Ieo by an American, all would have
 Deeh massacred This bunch gave a
 receipt for their loot, which piece ol paper served as guarantee to the
 others who came later that We had
 no afns. Some of those demanded
 money others took what watches 'tc, H'p1ened to strike their fancy One .unch. upon hearing Mir. Dent
 talking over the phone, grew angry
 and tore i. down The men met each
 Lunch at the doors, and succeeded in
 Keeping most of them out of the
 house
 The women were not molested iu
 any way, and for the most part stayed
 out of sight No one thought of sleep
 nat n sht. The men stood on guard
 ready to meet each bunch. and if pos.
 sible, to reason with them. No se-
 rioua trouble occurred at the mission
 that night but down town not one store escaped; everything was footed.
 The doors were dynami.ed, and the loods were carried off in carts. wag- ons and bags The Suiza. Casa Daes- slet Francia Maritima Cafe De La Union, La Baja California. and others toward the market, as well as the Cruz Roja and the Portaes. were burned
 The American Grocery was robbed tc finish and the furniture chopped up Upstairs was footed also. The manager. MT Aguirre, did what he a)uld to reason with 'hem, but all 10 no avail Their excuse was that they had been fired upon from upstairs.
 In the various manifestos issued be- fore their coming in. the Jefe had said that should they be fired upon from any building, they would not be re sponsible for the consequences. So with .his for an excuse, they fired into the upstairs, shatterlng the win. dows, riddling the window curtains and filling the walls with bullets. Then up the stairs they went taking all Mir Dyers' guns, and whatever else they wanted Then everything of Mir. Aguirre's. even the blankets on the beds. and the rugs on the floor On through the Watsons and Coens' rooms taking all of the men s cloth ing and such of the ladies as they wanted The Watsons and COens had gone To tie mission at the last mo ment. so everything was there, eX- cept such things as eo'sld be earri@d in their arms The greatest loss was the blankets, bed linen kodak. bicy- cle. watch and clothing They took some funny things as the baby's Christmas tree ornaments flat irons. enameled kitchen ware.
 The American consulate was not molested. Very few American homes were. The steamers place was sack ed. but the cows were not injured The family was at the mission.
 Early Thursday morning Mir Hamm succeeded in getting written state ment from Pereyea that the mission school should uot be molested. Also a guard of Arrietas, men who would meet the bands as they came, and prevent further trouble
 To add to the distress and contu- sion, there were sharpshooters all over town who used explosive bul- lets These made no noise as the guns discharged but exploded where they struck. making it appear that the guns were fired from where the bnl. lets exploded. One of these sent his bullets toward the mission, so all day long and all night it seemed that someone was firing from the roof Thursday morning d band Of Rebels began firing at the building. beliey ing that they were being fired upon from here. Terror does not express what we endured as the bullets fell thick and fast on the corner on Vic toria and Coronado streets. One up stairs room has siXty-five bullet holes in it. while all the windows on that corner. both upstairs and down, are Then came the awful mo- ment when q bomb was thrown against the corner The men say now that every moment they expected to see the whole end of the building come tumbling down, and the Rebels come in shooting. As it was the bull lets fell everywhere and the men had marrow escapes The narrow round ed corner of the building made the bomb roll. and it exploded in the street. doing little damage to the building. It was just at this crisis that old MT. Ball came up the street to the mission. The poor old man could hardly get in. He was quite III that day and night but now seems to he in as good condition as a year ago N hen the Rebels failed to dynamite the walls they rushed for the door on Victoria street In they came Wlth puns leveled and cursing only as these noonle can. Messrs. Frank McCau5h- an and Thomas Watson met them tried to reason with them, and showed
 them the statement of Arrletas' put they refused to look at the state
