In the little village of Pedron. in Galicia, during the trench invasion, lived Garcia de Paredes, a crabbed old. bachelor and licensed apothecary It was on a cold and unpleasant night in autumn, about iO o’clock, that a silent group of shadows came into the square known today as the Plaza de la Constitucion. They were go ng toward Garcia de Paredes’ apothecary shop, which had been securely closed since 9. “What are we going to do?” asked one of the shadows. | “Break in the door,” suggested a woman. “And kill them,” growled many voices. “I will take care of the apothe- j cary,” said a little fel'ow. “They say that more than twenty Frenchmen are taking supper with him to-night.” “Ah, if it were in my house! Three, billetted upon me, I've thrown into the well.” “And 1, ” said a monk, in a flutelike voice, “have smothered two j captains bv leaving burning charcoal i in their cell, which was mine before.” ! “And that wretch of an apothecary protects them!” “Who would have thought it of Garcia de Paredes? It is not a month since he was the most valiant, the most patr otic, the most loyal man in the town.” “And to-night he is giving a dinner to the French officers. ” “Let us wait awhile,” suggested an Oldman; “then we will enter, and 1, occurring at Garcia de Paredes and his guests pur. ’

sued the god of pleasure with ardor. Garcia de Paredes was about fortyfive years of age. lie was tail and as yellow as a mummy. His bald head shone with a phosphorescent lustre, and his blacit eyes, deep sunken under shaggy brows, were like moun-tain-imprisoned lakes that threaten sullenly. The food was abundant, the wine good, the conversation animated. The Frenchmen laughed, swore,sang, smoked, ate, and drank at the same time. Garcia de Paredes joked perhaps even mo e than any one else, and so eloquent had he been in favor of the imperial cause that the soldiers of Napoleon had embraced him, praised him, and improvised songs in his honor. “Senors,” the apothecary had said, “the war that we Spaniards are waging is as stupi las needless. You sons of the Revolution come to rescue Spain from her traditional lethargy; to dissipate her religious shadows; to reconstruct her ancient customs: and to teach her tbo e useful truths that there is no God and no other lie, i and that penitence, abstinence, 1 chastity, and other Catholic virtues are but Quixotic absurdities improper and unnecessary for a civilized people; that Napoleon is the true Messiah, the redeemer of the people, the friend of humanity. Senors, may the Emperor live as long as 1 hope to live:” “Hurrah'. Bravo!” cried the Frenchman. The apothecary bowed his head with an expression of unspeakable pain. Quickly he raised it, as firm and calm as before. He drank a glass

Hurrah for the Frenchmen of Francis the First and of Napoleon Bonaparte ! ” “ Hurrah !” replied the invaders,

acknowledging their satisfaction. All drained their glasses. About that time a noise was heard in the street, or, rather, at the shop door. “ Did you hear that?” asked tho Frenchman. Garcia de Paredes smiled. “ They are coming to kill me.” he said. “ Who?” “ My neighbors.” “ What for? ” “ Because lam a French sympathizer. Several nights ago they sur- j rounded my house. But what difference does that make to us? On with the feast! ” “ Yes, on with it ! ” exclaimed the I guests. “M e are here to defend , you.” And. clinking the bottles and ; glasses, they shouted together: । “ Hurrah for Napoleon ! Death to . I Ferdinand ! Death to Castile ! ” Garcia de Paredes waite I until the toast was drunk, and then said, in a ’ mournful tone: •' Cakdonio ! ” The shop-boy advanced his head ' lie dared not

“Celedonio, bring some ink and paper,” said the apothecary, calmly. The boy soon returned with the writing materials. “Sit down,” said his master, “and : write the figures I will give you. i Make two columns. At the head of j th- column at the right place, Debit, ; and at the head of the other, ! Credit.”“Senor,” stammered the boy, , “there is»a mob at the door crying, - bvill the apothecary!’ ” i “Be quiet! Leave them alone, ' and write what I tell you.” The Frenchmen laughed with admiration to see the pharmacist oc- ■ cupied in adjusting his accountseven i while surrounded by death and ruin. “Let us see, senors,” said Garcia I de Paredes: “we will finish our least i with a single toast. Let us begin in i the order of merit. You—Captain—i tell me—how many Spaniards have j you killed since crossing the Pvr- ! enees. ” “1,” replied the Captain, arrogantJy twirling his mustache—“l have killed—personally—with my sword—ten or twelve.” “Eleven at the right!” cried the apothecary, speaking to the boy. j The boy repeated, after writing: i “D bit, eleven.” ! “And you?” continued Garda de Pa edes. “I speak to you, Senor Julio. ” “I—six.” “And yon, commandant?” “I—twenty.” “I -eight.” “I— i fourteen.” “I—none.” “I-dont know. I fired with my eyes shut.” An 1 so on, each one in his turn. “Let us see now, Captain,” continued Garcia dejtoto -i-We will - V«>s\nK IV h WPll nnH if nUv/iM 9,

n, wen, call it eleven.” i “Eleven to t e left”’ dictated Garcia de Paredes, ano Celedonio re- > peated: “Credit, eleven:” “And you?” inquired the apothecary, in the same order as before. “I—fifteen.” “I—twenty.” “1 one hundred.” “I—one thousand ” And soon, replied the Frenchmen. “Div de them by ten, Celedonio,” ’ j murmured the apothecary, ironically, , “and add ea h column separately.” j At the end of a breathless silence, I Celedonio, turn ng toward his master, ■ > read as follows: “Del it, two hundred and eightyfive; credit, two hundred.” “That is to say.” said Garcia de Paredes, “two hundred and eightytive killed and two hundred sentenced to death. Total, four hundred and eighty, five victims.” At this moment the outer door o' the shop was broken in. “What time is it?” asked the apothecary, with the greatest composure, j “Eleven o’cock. But don’t you j hear them coming?” “Let them come: it is time.” “Time.'—for what?” murmured the Frenchmen, trying to rise. But they were so intoxicated they we:e unabie to leave their chairs. “Let them come.” they cried, however, grasping their sabres with great difficulty and vainly endeavoring to get upon their ' ieet. Below in the shop was heard the noise of the crowd, and al ove the i clamor' rang out the unanimous and i terrible cry: “leathtd the traitor:” Garcia de Paredes, hearing that cry. sprang up as though electrified, i

arouou n»n nr look of inexplicable joy. Upon his lips could be seen the immortal smile of the conqueror, and thus transfigured, he spoke the following words: “Frenchmen, if you shomdevei be able to avenge the death of 280 countrymen and to save the lives of , 200 others, if, by sacrificing your own lives, you could avert the death of 200 comrades— nay, 200 brothers—and thus increase the hosts of the 01 .r.

I The Provisional Government promptly refused and Minister Willis took no , s o ;s to enforce a compliance with his order. The excitement then rapidly sub-ided, and for a week before the sailing of the Warrimoo there had • bee i perfect tranquillity. j Ihe demand of Minister W’illis upon I the Provisional Government to step down ami out was couched in the following words: Mr. President and gentlemen, the President , , n * te d States has vety mu h regretted I tho do.ay in the consideration of the Hawaiian question, but it is unavoidable. So n u-hos it , as has occurred since my arrival his been due ! to certain cor., itions precedent, compliance with which was required before 1 was authorl ized to confer with you.

I need hardly promise ’ that the ' I I res dent s action upon the Hawaiian question I , has been under the dictates of honor and duty. I : It is now and has been from the beginning j absoltt’ly free from prejudice and resenti ment. and entirely consitsent with long-estab- 1 I lished friendship and treaty ties, which have ' I so clo ely bound together our respective gov- : ernuients. The President deemed it his outy ' to withdta-v from the Senate the treaty of an- i i nexat.on, which had been signed by ti e Seere- ! i tary of S ate and agents of your government. ! j and to dispatch a trusty representative to Ha- ’ waii to impartially investigate the causes of I your revolution and to ascertain and report th ■ true situation in these islan s.
