"You know, of course, that we are here to protect the peaceful natives and those who want good government from the raids and murders of the renegade priest and outlaw named Ignacio Pa pel. So whenever word comes to head quarters that he is around any little village or sugar plantation we are dispatched there immediately. The oth er night word came to us that Ignacio was going to raid a town called Castel liana, fifteen miles from here. So the Captain picked out twenty of us ami sent us there immediately to meet him. We made the fifteen miles across swamps and rivers in exactly four hours on foot and reached there at 'J o'clock in the evening. We stayed there fifteen dajs and during that time I saw something that I have always wanted to see and something that seems so much more cruel ami blood thirsty than war. You can stand and shoot down an opposing soldier be cause he has his gun pointed and you shoot to save your life, but to see an execution of three men looks pretty f cold-blooded and you must have pret- Itv strong nervs to stand it without O A MFOKNIA HARNESS ' llipehinz.
