Carval1o rebelled. He and Blanco
had been lifelong friends. He pro-
posed to visit Blanco aboard ship and
argue him into joining the revolution.
Night Of Argument.
Carvello spent one night arguing.
but Blanco could not be budged The
rebel admiral thereupon told him his
ship virtually was in the hands of
insurrectionists and handed him a
list Of the rebels in the crew.
The following night the New
Orleans police, at the request of the
Mexican consul general, arrested
ninety of the Braves crew, every
man whose name was on the list
Carvallo had left with Blanco. The
police than placed them aboard the
vessel in the custody of Blanco. The
men later were permitted to leave
and made their way tc rebel terri
tory while a new crew came from
Mexico.
But for Carvallo's refusal to permit
Blanco to become a prisoner aboard
the ship, the Bravo probably would
have been in the rebel service long
ago. Carvallo now has gone to From
terra with the avowed intention OF
taking command of the
rebel feet and giving battle to the
Bravo upon her arrival.
