Garibaldi Talks of Campaigns and Fighters Soldifer of Fortune School- Mexican Government ing Himself for a Forces Good Fighters , Definite Work but in the Wrong i y . . . Ooo 1C Hturllt night , Just before the ON battle of Junrcz , Culonnl Giu seppe Ourlbulill Hilt on a blan ket lu the * liiHUrrecto cnmp , near the Mexican border , and talked of ilKbtlng men and campaign * * the world over , fingering nil the while thu polished cartridges Uiat llllcd ninny loops In the donbln belt engirdling him. Nearby Htood McCutallHHon , bandit , , who a few days later , In a tit of Jeal- otiHy , tried to kill the Italian Holdler of fortune , and from the canyon came the challenge ! * of ragged sentries. The Brnndson of the Italian liberator had n visitor , the correspondent of the Houston Dally Test , and to him ho confided an unnamed ambition. "I am preparing. " ho Bald , "for n cer tain grent and ilotlnlto work to which I long ago dollhoratoly dedicated what thcro In or may bo In mo of energy and iiblllty. " First of nil be oxprcsseel his frank opinion about Americana and their country. "Your Independence of the other natlonH of the world la admira ble , " ho remarked , "but you He prostrate - trate , unresisting , humble lu the prc * cneo of llnanclal power. The worship of Americans for money Is unfortu nate , I think , and It apparently Is al < most universal. Fascination of Fighting. "I have known so ninny flno Amcrl cans In my own country where end year Increasing numbers go as tour Istfl nnd where every year more llngoi and eventually become resident , have known so many nnd such splendid able Americans at Panama , have me Buch flno young fighters among tin Americans hero In the foreign legloi of the Insurrecto army that I don't llki to criticise you. Let us rather tnll nbout the situation hero In Mexico. Imve found It n most fascinating ex perlonce to work among nnd tlghi nm.ig these patriotic Mexicans. " "nut why should you light at all ? Ii Jit for pure love of fighting ? " "I don't know that I love fightlni more than most men , " he replied , "bu it seems to be my fate to fight , nm If It Is my fate to light why , then , cer tnlnly I must know how to light. Wha might bo called the polished flghthij of trained armies , those of Italy nut Germany and Km nee , the British ar my nnd the Austrian that Is , most ml inlrahle In certain ways , but I bellcv better training for a man like me He in commanding forces of this kind Nondescript my little ivglment may be but It Is tremendously In earnest There Is not n single uniform lu II neither Is there a coward. Even th foreigners , most of them Americans are lighting for the cause and not fo money. That's pretty flno when yoi come to think of It. " "And you are fighting for cxperl ence ? " "The experience will be valuable , bu the cause Is worthy too. " The Men He Was Leading. "It has been n queer experiment , " h < continued In answer to a qucstloi nbout the qualifications of the Mexl cans for self government , "n republl which hns been far more n monarch ; than the assured monarchies of man ; European countries. Dla/ was n mon nrch from the start. It is said that a the beginning It was necessary tha the country bo controlled by some thing of the nature of n despotism. I is not possible for one of Garlbald blood to really believe thnt this wn true , but If there ever was n tlm when it was even partly true thnt Urn has passed long , long ere this. Th men of my command here are of ever , claws. "There nco untutored peasants nmon them who have never owned a hut dred dollars or any sum nppronchln that in nil their lives , and they are o n high an average intelligence ns th untutored In nny land which I hnv ever visited. There are other me who are not only prosperous , but rea ly very rich. They are fighting In th ranks , some of them , and taking who comes with the rest "I have heard no more complaint from them and there have been time in plenty since the war began who nil of us have really been very hungr ; when we have been worked to tli point of absolute exhaustion , an there hns been ns real cause for grer discontent as any situation could pr < diico than I have hoard from the poc farmers , seine of whom undoubted ! became Insurrecto soldiers becaus they could secure a livelihood In si other way. This revolt In Mexico hn not been political. It has not bee fomented by the ngltntors. It Is universal and an almost Involuntai protest agalust intolerable condition Against such conditions humanity hr always risen. " Garibaldi's visitor asked him win work ho had done in preparation f < his unnamed task. This was his a , swer : "I was n wild boy in an Italian cc lego , but I bad already settled on n llfowork , nnd ns soon ns the Grei u-nr broke out loft my studies of nnv construction nnd engineering nnd b came n member of the foreign leglo Sty father was an otllccr in the Ban wnny , nut was mucu opposed to ua ing me among his soldiers. I sorv < throughout the war , however , ai when it ended he rnndo me a corpon "As n private I saw three engns monts duriuir this campaign , but w * - * " J not wounded. The officers wore goo to me > and thought my father a bit m voro In keeping mo In BUCU Infcrlc position. I thought HO , too , but fat IK answered when the otllcers potltlone him : 'A corporal ho I.s nnd must n main , HO far ns thtH Greek service I concerned. A Garibaldi must bo e ther In full command or bo a corporal In South America. "After the Greek war I wont honi to Itomo and proceeded with m studies for six months. I could ne see that they were helping 'o towar what I hnd In mind and still have o my mind , so I abandoned them nn went to Buenos Aires. First of all , fancy , I wished to see the world , bt 1 alno wished to see what use nil th things which I hnd learned in colle were nnd find out If I could get o nlono. I becnmo n draftsman on tli Buenos Alre.s and Belgrauo Eleotri railway , then a civil engineer ou tli Nlonrngnan railway. It was flu ground for me to visit , for my gram father fought nine years lu Uruguay- from 1838 to 1817. Presently I bega to organize the young men of the Pn tldn Colorado , the same party he hn fought for. Before I left these youn men gave mo a dinner in Montovldei at which they made mo swear that n revolytlon overtook the country would answer the call. " "And did the call come ? " "It may some day. It was from thei I went to South Africa. At first m sympathies were with the Boers , bi later , acting under direct orders froi my father , I was made nn official n tnoho with Kltcheno.r. It was n grot experience , nnd ns I learned moi about the situation I was glad I ha been forced to change the side of ni allegiance. Tims I served more thn u ye-ar nnd wns fortunate , for 1 sn eleven fierce engagements. The Boei were good fighters , but were wren They lost. The government soldlei hero In Mexico nro good fighters , bi are wrong , nnd they must lose. "It Is merely ono moro manlfestatlc of the worldwide movement towns real freedom. That republic whlc ! like Mexico , becomes monarchlal Is i certain of Its downfall ns that mo nrchy which In the face of the model democratic tendency does not go hn ! way to meet It. There have been ar there an1 kingdoms which are so a ministered that to a large extent tin meet the mi'drm yearning after frc dom. Hive \vas tln evise of a repu lie which did not. Really , the Mox ev.i > republic hns bei-n a despotism ni one in which ! ! u > despot nnd his follow ers tool ; fill ! ndvant.igu of every o portunity ilit'lr power give : thorn preserve the system by whose favi i hey existed. "Education means destruction monarchical institutions ; cducntlc means Invariably the spread of repu Mean Ideas. The strongest possible 1 dictment of the Diaz system in Mexli lies in its definite opposition to tl education of the people. " A Patriotic Struggle. "Has it been a re-ally patriotic stru glo ? " his visitor Inquired. "Aro the mon really patriots ? " "It has been an absolutely patriot struggle , and those men nro true p trlots , " said Garibaldi. "A few them and by no menus those least a nilrable for the government dow here In Mexico has outlawed many good citl/.eti are officially outlaws , b nearly all of them are farmers , trade men and the like , who , finding it ii possible to live In peace and nvera ; security through earnest Industry t neath the Din/ government , decided Join hands with the moro radical w ! bad begun the movement and enfor n change. "There has been a tendency , I thin In some American minds to bclitl the advance of the various Sou American nations. It Is unjust Th have been folk of high Ideals thu Latins to the southward of yor nnd they have , with their extraon nary revolutions , worked out ma problems much in need of work ! out. This Mexican revolt Is vo worthy. You of the United Stal nhould be the first to recogulzo this. ' Again the talk drifted to Garibn himself , to the man who chooses spend his time In armed cnmps or the wilderness. "Like all men , " ho remarked , "I ha nn nlm In life , nnd that nlm invoh n training not to bo found In schoc It can be found In part in world through real wildernesses after wl Is left of the big game , but such tra Ing for It Is but n poor substitute i work upon the firing line In any Ji nnd worthy cause. No schools mn soldiers ns the fiotd does. With dl culty I have managed to secure abc twenty-four months of actual fight ! life In which I have through gn endeavor actually participated In tl ty really big battles with almost i cry kind of nrmy. It has been n fl experience Illuminating , splendid. " South Side Notes. Fireman Peacock went to From on business this morning. Mrs. W. B. Wolfe arrived homo fr Omaha last evening.
