THE TAR A SCAN EMPIIiE.
A NATION WHO WERE NEVER CON
QUERED BY THE AZTECS.
An Iuilmltable Nation of AVarrlora
AVhicli KxUted in Mexico at thn
Time of thn Si:mlli ComiueKt How
They Planned Their Campaigns.
Tho Indians living around Lake I'atzen.-iro
wero an iinlejieiideiit nalioa when the Sjiaii-
iards invaded Mexico, nearly 400 years nyo.
They had eome from the north, und hail
never be'n conquered by the Aztecs, who
who livod in and controlled thn country
south and ca-st of here. They lived in towns
and cities, and they had laws. Their capital
city was on tho border of tho lake. They
called it Tzintzuntzan, in imitation uf tho
sound made by the humming birds, which
are very numerous. They had a king, who
designated his successor. They were divided
into four provinces, and at the head of each
was a cacique, or chh f. There was, accord
ing to Cubas, tho Mexican ethnologist, a
great variety of subordinate pflieials in tho
Tarascaii empire. There wero tributo gath
erers who collected from tho rich, and an
other set who saw that the ioor contributed
to the government. There was a head gamo
keeper, and a chief falconer who liiokcd
after tho birds.. There was a chief for tho
fishermen who fished with nets, and another
for the fishermen who used hooks and lines.
13very industry had its representative in tho
government. These Indians raised cotton,
manufactured domestics, quarried and carved
stone, cultivated sugar cane, fermented wiuo
from tho maguey, inado leather garments
and did a great many other things, ail under
the suiiervision of the sub-delegates, as Cubas
culls the representatives of tho government.
Thero was a chief woodsman. The princi
pal feather worker directed the artists in that
branch. The Curinguri had charge of tho
making of drums. Tho carpenters had their
master. A treasurer general kept in his
safe untold quantities of gold and silver or
naments, while the grain collected for the
crown was housed in great granaries under
charge of a store keeior.
A PATERNAL GOVERNMENT.
It was a strong paternal form of govern
ment which raised and made all that its peo
ple had any use for, which directed and con
trolled a great variety of industries in such a
manner that thero was littio export or im
port, no overproduction and plenty of time
to go to war. The painters, potters, earthen
ware makers, sweepers, flower makers, shop
keepers, and even tho doctors, had their
masters. And all this was before Christo
pher Columbus discovered America.
But the Tarascahs were more interesting
as warriors. They were simply indomitable.
It does not appear that it was their policy to
extend the boundaries of tho Tarasean em
pire by conquest. They fought battles,
whipped surrounding nations, settled imme
diately with the conquered on a cash basis
and returned to Lake Patzcuaro to enjoy tho
fruits of victorj There are 200,000 Taras
cans now, and they were probably more nu
merous before the Spanish invasion.
When war was declared against another
nation the chiefs of the provinces commenced
mobilizing the fighting material without a
day's delay. Tho whole army was com
manded by a captain general called the
Eazonci. He was magnificently accoutc-red.
A plume of green feathers nodded above his
head. A silver shield was slung over his
shoulder. His quiver was of tiger skin. Ho
had ear rings and bracelets of gold. A doub
let of scarlet cotton clothed his hips and
thighs. Leggings of tiger skin completed his
dress.
The war spirit was very strong in the na
tion. Taraseans did not wait for invasion.
They marched to their frontier and thero
gave battle. While they were on the road
tho people came to hera, fed them and
cheered them on. One branch of tho service
was an organization of war spies tinder com
mand of a chief. The vazanoti had a trained
corps of couriers and messengers.
THE PLAN OF BATTLE.
When the army reached the locality in
which a battle was to be fought the spies
had alread' been over the ground, and the
couriers had conveyed a description of it to
"He commander. Tho plan of action had
t ' determined upon, and the legions took
e positions assigned them without any
ThuT Preparation of the plan of ac
ttu as vry'co7Ptete, and it was what en
abled t Taraseans . l uniformly vietu.
rious Thn commander had been inlormed
of the charact f, the grouii'l so thorough
ly that ho was 6vijJ able to assign his
forces advantageously, bt he carried on
with wonderful rapidity prcteM )-epuses,
made apparently unsuccessful advances and
retreated until ho had drawn the enemy into
just the place be wanted. Then his legions
tell pon tho opposing army from all sides
and annihilated it. This was sv effc-n done
that tho Taraseans, although a small nation
compared vitU the Aztecs, nruntameci tne:r
independenca.
In battle the Tarascaii legions carried mag
nificent standards of plumes. In some of
the engagements more than 300 of these stand
ards of whit9 heron feathers glistened in the
sim. Each warrior wore a plume of eagle
feathers. A column of smoke upon a hiiltop
was often the signal that the enemy had U e'l
drawn into tho desired position, and that t ho
time had come to uncover the ambuscades
and make a general charge. Then the bugles
and drums sounded. The long liu pf wa vi :ig
plumes seemed to spring up from tho fc"Ji!nd
and to com from front, flanks and rear.
Even boasted Azteo prowess could not staad
before such an .onset. The Taraseans repeat
edly destroyed the armies Kent aga'jjst them
and retired to th lake with great- number?
of prisoners. O tho younger they male
slaves. The older they gaerigced to their
gods. Human sacrifice was the !Jot on
Tarasean civilization.
Jt was honor to die in battle, and the
widows and orphans of dead warriors were
liberally pensioned by the government.
