papers which concerned ray doings In any
micstlonable transactions. I have im Rood

I had got far enoiiRh Into the trade to like
It fairly well and decided to set up us a
broker on my own account In a small way ,
trying to retain some of old FlamitiRo'a
trade. I rented nn olllce In nn eligible location
had painted on
tion put up partitions and
"
tlic doors "Mr. Spencer. " "Mr Oldliam.
"Mr Gomez" and "Stenographer. " to Indi
cate that It was a flourishing firm , though
the whole establishment consisted of mjM'lf
and an offlen boy. When I think of th.it olllce
boy I have to restrain my feelings , for be
\vns- but we'll come to that Inter. I can't
say my bluff worked very well. I did a
little business as a custom house broker and
occasionally made fair deals In eoltte , HUK.IF
nnd fruits , but the bin hoiucs had a cinch
on the tiade and It was slim picking. At
nlRht I used to walk aloiiR I'ark How and
looked up at tbo newspaper olllccs and
wish T w.-.s back again , but there was a
prejudice aRalnst me on account of that
story ol Klamlngo's affairs , though they
couldn't prove a thing , and I still hoped to
get established.
Matters were going from bad to worse and
I should probably have closed up if It hal
jiot been for the appearance of ilnrnando
Bosenko on the scene , llosenko was a mer
chant of Cordova , the principal seaport of
San Caat.ir.igun. Ho hnd done business with
Flamingo and I had got a little trade out of
him. Ho was a typical Spanish-American ,
swarthy , well groomed and easy-going , lie
came into my olllco one afternoon and
handed his card and asked" for a private
Interview. I sent the olllce boy on an errand
nnd took him into my offlce. assuring him
that "Mr. Spencer , " "Mr. Oldham" and "Mr.
Gomez" were out. He was a devil of a
fellow , that Bosenko. He had that seductive
way with him which captures men and
captivates the women. Wo talked for some
time nnd I saw ho was pumping mo for a
purpose which presently appeared. Ho ex
plained that business was slack In Cordova
nnd he hrd come to the United States to
make arrangements for starting a revolu
tion In San Castaragua.
"A revolution ! " said I In astonishment.
"Certainly , " lie said ; "we haven't had one
for nearly eighteen months , and 1 am going
to break the trust. "
"What trust ? " I asked.
"Tho revolution trust , " said he , "which
has controlled every one of them for fifteen
years , ami has made all the money. I am
going In for a new deal , and want you to
Lclp me. "
"But , my dear sir , " I said , "I don't under
stand you. A revolution Is a serious mat
ter , and I don't want to get my head shot
off , and I don't understand what you mean
by the trus * . "
"Well , " said he , "I suppose you are not
FIUST IIR EXCIIANOI3D "A" FOU "X. "
to blame for Ignorance about South Ameri
can affairs , but you know that these revo
lutions aretalways cooked up affairs , don't
you ? "
"No , I don't , " said I. "Of course they
como pretty often , but 1 thought thuy were
all genuine enough , and pretty serious , too ,
at times. "
Ho laughed a little and said : "I must
explain the situation to you. In San Cas-
taraguu wo cannot get along without revo
lutions. It Is essential to our prosperity
aa pcacu Is to yours. Take General Cuzco ,
for Instance , lie has been president thir
teen times In the last eleven years , while
General Morcna has been president twelve
times. The scheme Is this : Kvcry few
months General Morcna lands suddenly at
Cordova , raises the standard of revolt , and
inarches toward Dollto , the capital , Presi
dent Cuzco with his army starts out to meet
him. "
"Hold on" said I , "you are going too
fast. Ho\v docs Moreno start his revolu
tion ? It takes men and money and muni
tions of war , You speak of it as a very
elinplo transaction , "
"That's the point , " replied Hosenko. "You
see , when Morcna arrives , ho goes to the
cyndlcato and purchases his anus and mu
nitions. "
"What syndicate ? " I asked. "You arc
very mysterious. "
Ho looked rather disgusted , but began to
explain : "Didn't I tell .you there was a
revolution trust ? It Is composed or most
of the big merchants and politicians at Cor
dova. Revolutionists daren't deal with any
one else If they could , but they can't , for
the trust has all the cannon , guns and pow
der , and they sell Impartially to each
party. "
"But , hold on , " said I.Vhero does the
money como from' "
"Ohl The Kuullsh bankers furnish that.
They buy up the bonds of the revolutionists
at no rents on the dollar. "
"Hut suppo .e the resolution fall ? "
"Oh , It n'jldnm dots , tut In any event the
eountr } nlwnys assumes tl'.f debt of both
sides , 10 tlitre Is no rink. The banks keep
blank bond * which thrv fill in with th new
I names at tn'li : i'cvfdutlRn , aivl the levolu-
tlon lenders cnn nlway * get their money in
twenty-foul1 hours. Mont of It c ° es to the
j ftyndlrnte for war material , which Is of
poor quality und U sold at enormous prices.
It consists largely of condemned tnuskota
fiom your civil war , and Jld cannon left
behind after the Mexican war. S"ino of thpm
look as if tlu-y bad been used by Cortex.
Tliry sell , thoupji , fm the same prices as
the tioue t rlllca and latest field guns. The
Insurgent president Isn't particular. Ho
dopsn/t / want to hill anyone If he cnn help
It , and besides the government will pay the-
bill , so theio Is no loss. Usually he makes
the syndicate give him n cmnmiBnlon , EO the
bigger the price iho better heIs satisfied. "
"llut where does the army como from ? "
"Oh , It's easy enough to ralst 1,000 men.
In fact , too insy. Work Isn't plenty any-
wu , and there me plenty of men looking
around for1a soft snap. "
"Do you call fighting u noft snap" " t
asked , getting more confused all the time.
"Well , I should say so. Good food , new
uniforms , and a rank for life. After the
revolution nil the odlcers nro tommlssloncd
major goturnlH and worn1 gold lace b > the
pound. Now let me resume my story.
Morcnn , we will say , lands on the 15th , nnd
ISFIICB n proclamation that he has come to
redeem the country from the oppression of
a dictator. This proclamation Is so Ions
that It usually tixkcs sc\ctnl days to get
It printed , for nothing goes In a hurry with
us. Morenu malls n copy on the 10th to
I'fiHlddit Cu/io : , nnd establishes his hcad-
( uartcrs In the best hotel In Cordova. The
agent of the KngUsdi bankers comes mid
malvC.1 arrangements for $ : ! ,00f,000 ) In bonds ,
paying $ lSOOOno cash for them. Then the
agent of the syndicate arrives and belts (
the guns , powder , uniforms , etc. , at fearful i
prices , and tlu-y are turned over to the ]
commissary general. Then como the appli
cants for admission to the- army , and this
Is the most troublesome part of the whole
affair , PS there are more pegs than holes.
Usually it Is arranged by the ofllcers agree
ing to furnish the men without cost , though
they arc carried on the pay roll , and the
amount divided among the leader's favorites.
When everything is ready and It takes a
good deal of time In spite of all these fa
cilities the army takes the train about the
30th for the battle ground near the capital. "
"Hut you don't mean to say , " said I ,
"that the president allows all this to go
on without interference1
"Certainly. He couldn't do anything If
bo would , but he doesn't want to. When
Hie troops arrive at the battleground Cuzco
marches out and occupies his camp , and the
cartel Is arranged. "
"The what ? " said I ,
"Tho cartel , that's a stipulation as to the
way the battle uhull be conducted. It
usually states that the battle shall not begin
before 8 a. m. , at which time llagn are es
tablished In front of each army , beyond
which they agree not to go under any cir
cumstances. If any one is killed or badly
Injured during an engagement a truce of
half an hour Is allowed. The program is
usually cm follows :
7:00 : a. m. Coffee , oranges and cigarettes.
8:00 : a. in. Uress panide , and fiery
speeches by the leaders.
9:00 a. m. Opening of the engagement.
10SO : a. m. Kngagement ends.
11:30 : a. in. Lunch ( communication under
flag of truce during recess allowed to per
mit cither belligerent to borrow provisions
or ammunition. )
2:00 : p. m. Engagement renewed. Charge
by Insurgents.
3:00 : p. in. Counter charge by national
forces.
1:0' : ' ) p. in. Kngngcment ends'for ' the day.
7:00 : p. m Dinner ( evening dress. )
This continues us many days as circum
stances and provisions allow. Usually on
the fifth day the Insurgents put the govern
ment forces to ( light ( by pro-arrangement )
ami enter the capital in triumph. The
soldiers rob the stores and do a moderate
amount of looting , which the government
payn for , and all nro happy. Cuzco takes n
special train to Cordova , boards his steam
yacht and sails away. If It la summer ho
goes to Carlsbad , where ho 1ms a line villa ,
If It Is winter ho retires to his magnificent
plantation In Cuba. Six months later he
returns to San Cactaragua , the revolution
starts up aguln and In the end Morcna
leaves with the money he has squeezed out
of the country. "
"That's n pretty good game , " said I , "but
I should think It would fall sometimes. "
"Oh , It's understood that once In three
times the Insurgents are routed ; that's to
fool the natives. Then the president Issues
a proclamation and levies new taxes and gets
richer than ever. The trouble now Is that
Morcna Is old and has the gout. Ho must
be worth $10,000,000 nnd lives In I'aris. Ho
saya he won't revolute any more and for
eighteen months we haven't had a change.
It's getting monotonous and Injures trade.
The syndicate hasn't madea sale and the
Kngllsh bankers are restive. You see , after
each revolution the syndicate buys back the
arms at about 10 per cent of what they
originally sold them for. giving nil the
olllclals a fair rake-off , but there has been
Eomo trouble lately. There are now " 9G
major generals and It la Impossible to sup
port them all without a revolution once In n
while. The syndicate bus been In negotia
tion with several prominent men to start
up the game , but the trouble Is with the
nngllch banking syndicate. The debt Is now
about $500.000,000 , and , though the country
Is rich. It Is hard to raise the Interest unless
the taxes are Increased. The bankers only
want to pay 40 per cent this time , as an
enormous amount must be lalsed to satisfy
the men who have been walling so long
At the last revolution onu of CUZCO'B cannon
burst and killed eight men. This made his
army think there wn a rear attack and they
rushed forward right Into Morcim'a army
in spltu of ell the ofllcers could do.
Morcna tried to stop his men from tiring ,
but too late , and before he could run up a
white llag and surrender to the retreating
army of Cuzco nineteen men were killed
and others Injured. This cast a gloom over
the entire community and made the natives
suspicious. Hut the government gave
liberal pensions and the affair blew over. "
"Hut it seems to me , " said I , "that ? SOO-
000,000 Is a fearful debt for such a country
as San Castaragua. It must have taken a
great many revolutions to pile all that up.
1 should think the hankers would get cau
tious about advancing more money. "
"They are. Hut revolutionists didn't ( | o
It all. Iteorganlzatlon Is responsible for
much of It , "
"What's reorganization ? "
"Why It's refunding , Just like you do here
with railroad companies , The A- and I ) , U.
H. company goes Into the hands of a re
ceiver , A committee of bankers forms a
syndicate , and the bondholders form several
committees to reorganize the finances. If
the original debt UAS $100000.000 , the stock
holders are assessed 125,000,000 and the total
capitalization raised to $150.000,000. The
security holdcra get squeezed , but the syndicate
dicate- and the committee get a big rake
off. nnd the company Is 'reorganized' until
It gi'ts Into n receiver's hands again , as It
usunlly does In ten years , when the process
Is repealed. In San Castaragua this has
been done several times with the govern
ment bnruls nnd the English bondholders
Ulek. but they can't do anything , na the
Cordova IJiiRllnh bankers stand In with the
government Sometimes these bankers get
a snap. Three years ego Cuzco landed to
make a revolution. He Issued $ ,1.000,000 In
bonds , put'l the syndicate as usual for the
srms and ammunition , hut was taken with
the Rout just as he was ready to move on
the citplfnl. Bo he sailed away In his yacht ,
nnd postponed operations for six months.
Thc b.inkers were wild at llrst , ns the bonds
had not been approved by the government.
Hut the nynJIrnio fixed the matter up by
giving up 10 per cent of the money. The
Morcna government never discovered that
thp new issm ; wasn't regular , and the In
terest was paid rlsht along until Cnzco
came In next time , when everything was
anangcd. Hut the pame Is pretty ncnr
ended. H won't be possible to make more
than one I EIIC of bonds now. for the country
can't stand It. I think that Inside of n
year ICnslnnd will come over and take the
whole country for the debt. That's the way
they do. No nonsense. 1'ay up that In-
lere , t or wo will take your whole shooting
match , and nobody docs Interfere with Eng
land.
"N'ow. " ho continued after lighting n
fresh cigarette , "my plan Is this : I am
going to get up n revolution on my own
account. 1 am on the outs with the syndi
cate , who won't soil mo n thing. Hut I
have made arrangements with the Kngllsh
bankers for one last issue of $23,000,000 of
bonds at 20 cents on the dollar. That's an
nwful tquceze , but they wrn't hear to any
other terms. Hut they Insist that I Import
some modern rifles and cannon and get up
n genuine revolution , and take possession
of the government and lcep It. Then we
will reorganize the debt nnd make n nice
thing out of It , even It England does seize
the country , for she won't allow the bonds
to be repudiated. Now hero Is where you
come In. "
"I was wondering where I came In , "
said I.
"Well , the thing must bo kept secret , hut
I want you to act as purchasing agent.
You are to buy arms and ammunition and
enlist nbout 100 sturdy fellowa who under
stand military matters , bring them to Cor-

dova , nnd when the revolution Is over you
will be a major gcner.il and secretary of the
treasury. It's worth a million at least. "
When ! It made my head swim , nnd I
told Jiosenko that I must have time to think
It over. Well , after a few days' consulta
tion 1 agreed to go Into the scheme , though
I didn't like It. He talked of n. revolution
ns coolly as If It were a Sunday school pic
nic , but I couldn't help thinking of Lopez
ami Walker. However , I was getting des
perate , and resolved to try It. The details
were soon arranged , and I was to act on
cable advices and letters In cipher. This
cipher was a very simple affair , consisting
only of the transposition of nbout half the
letters of the alphabet. The "a" meant "z ; "
"o" meant "w , " etc. . with changes under
certain condition ! ! . 1 told him It was too
canlly deciphered nnd we would be dis
covered , but he laughed nnd said that no
one In San Castaguarua would take taht much
trouble to prevent an earthquake.
One of the principle errands wns to ar
range with the San CasUraguan minister
at Washington for the recogitlon of the new
government by the United States. This
took some trouble , but he said H was all
arranged , and the minister at Washington
was to send me word , and I was to cable
him.
him."If Hnglnml makes any trouble , " ho laid ,
"wo rely on the Monroe Doctrine. "
"What's that ? " I asked.
"Don't jcni know what the Monroe Doc
trine la ? " said he In surprise.
"No , I don't , " said I , rather nettled. "I
am not well posted In religious matters ,
but I suppose they cut a great deal of Ice
wish you. "
He looked at me as If ho thought I was
guying him , and said :
"Don't you know that President Monroe
was the man who led your armies In the
Involution against England , nnd was presi
dent of the United States as long ns ho
lived afterward ? "
"Xo , I don't said I testily. "Vou're off.
George Washington was the llrst president.
First In war. first In peace , first In the
hearts of his countrymen.1 "
"Hold on , maybe you're right , but any
way there was a man named Monroe In this
country got up a doctrine that rules all
Pouth America. I don't exactly know what
It Is and the only man who really did under
stand It to dead , but the Idea Is that wli.jn
any South American country got Into trouble
with any European country the United
States will do all the fighting for us. It's
a grand Idea , too , and makes us feel moro
comfortable when we do things contrary
to the European fashion. They're all afraid
of you. "
"Well , I am glad of that , " said I , "though
this Is the first tlmo I ever heard of It. lint
won't the United States Interfere In your
revolution ? "
"Oh. nn , It never Interferes In our domestic
affairs. That's contrary to the doctrine. Wo
can do what wo like. It's only when Eng
land Interferes that you folks make a howl.
Why , you don't even take care of your own
people down there. If ont > of your country
men gets Into trruble It often takes years
to IIx It up through diplomacy , Once Cuzco
arrested one of your people and It took seven
years of diplomatic correspondence to settle
It. Then It was found ho had been dead
four years. Another tlmu Morcna locked
ano of your people up and It took six years
to arrange for his release , but when they
came to look for him It was found that ho
was one of Morcna'a major generals and
had been secretary of state three times ,
during which hu curried on the correspond
ence ) about bis own release without oven
knowing It. They are rather careless of
details down there. "
"Yes. I see. " said I , "entirely too care-
loss. I guess I won't go Into the scheme , for
seven years' Imprisonment wouldn't suit my
constitution , "
"Pshaw. " said he , "there's no danger. If
you do get arrested all you have to do Is to
say you are an Englishman and they'll let
you go cjulck enough. "
"Oh , they will , will they ? " said I. "Well ,
why Is that ? Have the English got a
Monroes doctrine , too ? "
"No. but they have war ships , which Is
much better. If an Englishman ' gets ar
rested anywhere all he docs Is to'scnd word
to the captain of any war vessel ( hat Is In
portThe captain sends word to the au
thorities demanding the. release of the cap
tive and a largo Indemnity. If they do not
give In the town U bombarded and there
you are. In fact , this plan has led to
Abuses. "
"Indeed , " said I ; "how ? "
"Well , you tee , an English vessel comes
Into a South American port. All Its officers
are out of money , and there Is no chance
Tor a good time. One of them goes ashore ,
kicks up a row , and perhaps Insults some
one , or knocks him down , He Is arrested.
The captain demands his release. The
authorities consider. The second day an
Indemnity Is also demanded. The third da ;
, It Is Increased , and four hours' notice Rive ;
of n bombardment. Then the prisoner t
| released , and goes abonrd with n bag o
gold , and the officers make merry. It ha
often happened In San Castnragun , bu
usually the city officials get n pcrccntagi
of the rakcoff. Indeed it has got to be i
, flourishing Industry in Cordova since revolu
' lions suspended. There Is n regular seali
I of prices , the syndicate getting 40 per tent
the government 20 , and the English captlvi
! 40 , Last year we paid over ? 3,000,000 It
' Indemnities , nd 1'resldent Cuzco made at
i awful row about It , and has threatened ti
stop the whole game. "
So long ns llosenko was around the plat
looked very good , but when he wns gone :
couldn't help thinking of what would hap
! pen In ease of failure. Every tlmo I rent
of one of the Insui gents In Cuba being gar
roted I had n pain In my neck , and I hat
resolved to give It up entirely when Uosenk (
played his last card. On the day ho sallet
he came to me with a Jlst of rllles , cannoi
nnd cartridges ho wanted and n lot of pro
visions. 1 wns to ship the provision !
through n local firm of btokcia. who wore tt
pay Iho bills. The arms and ammunltlor
were to bo shipped to Cordova direct am'
to bo paid by draft on arrival , nnd all ]
had to do was to select them. Just ns 1
was about to throw It all over Hosonkc
Rave mo n check tor $5.000 , That Bcttlei !
It. I hadn't owned so much In my life ami
I couldn't resist. I cashed the check , ami
was a full-Hedged revolutionist.
Kor n tlmo I lived on velvet. Champagne ,
big dinners , n dress suit nnd theater par
ties were my sole occupation. 1 treated all
the old newspaper boys whenever I met
them , and they were all wild to get Inlc
trade. 1 would even have bought cham
pagne for Tommy Walling , but he had gone
to South America as correspondent of the
Globe. ' The boys used to put In paragraphs
about "IIoEea Hoggs , the rising merchant , "
whleh tickled my vanity , nnd I bought
them more champagne. In the meantime 1
went to work on the supplies. It was easy
enough to buy hard tack , cheese and flour ,
for tills excited no suspicion , but buying
arms was different. 1 consulted the celllni !
agents of all the different firms , but It wns
n delicate matter. Several expeditions to
Cuba had been stopped by the authorities ,
nnd I waa cautious. Thc prices demanded
were exorbitant , but the asciils explained tu
mo that , considering the risks nnd com-
nilcslons , they could do no better. The
word " commissions" gave me n hint and 1
united what commission I would bo al
lowed.
"The usual rate , " they said , "but perhaps
we had better be speclflc. What's you
Idea ? "
1 hadn't an Idea In the world , but though
5 per cent liberal. In order to get It
ccnsldctcd I must ask more , nnd then com
down , so I said :
"How does 20 per cent strike yon ? "
They looked at me curiously for a mo
meat and said :
"Will that be entirely satisfactory ? "
I now saw that I had asked too little , bu
tt was too late , and I closed at that llgnre
though I heard one of them whisper to an
other , "dead easy. "
All this took tlmo , but It was arrangcc
that the arms should be shipped whcneve
I gave the word , which was not to be untl
the provisions were In Cordova , and the
men arranged for. I now made up my
mind to ship the goods and arms , take
my commissions , nnd back out of the whole
affair , but of course I kept my own counse
about this. I got letters and cablegrams
from Uoscnko frequently , but he was very
careless nbout the cipher , end I was li
constant fear of being detected.
The thorn In my llcab at this Mme was
the olllce boy. He was a deep one. He
know something was going on , but couUi' :
get at It , so he bled me. Ho demnnJei
double wages In a way that made mo shiver
and I gave It to him. lie was enrolls nbou
getting to the olflce , but whui I remon

home with his bed-ridden mother , lie usec
my typewriter ns If it were his own , am
drove mo to the verge of destruction , bu
every time I started to have H out will
him there was a look of honest Industry
on his face ; that made me quail.
Finally I could , stand It no longer , am
ono Saturday morning I told him we musi
part tlmt night , and he.demanded a month's
wages In advance , which 1 dared not refuse
That afternoon the provisions were shipped
and the agent and I had a lunch a
Savnrln's , during which fonr cold quarts
were offered as libations to the god 01
revolution. I got back to the office at ' 7
o'clock , and wrote out a cablegram to
Bosenko , announcing the shipment. It was
nearly dark , the electric lights were In
trouble , and the wine made me giddy. ]
wrote out the message as follows :
Bosenko Cordova ,
Shipped by steamer Barcelona :
5,000 Hour.
1,000 cheeses.
100 mess pork.
75 eases biscuits.
1,000,000 hard tack.
DIggerstafi' will draw en sight.
Everything going well.
IIOSEA HOGGS.
This did not need a cipher , as provisions
were not contraband nor likely to arouse
suspicion. I rang for a messenger , but on
leading the message It looked so Illegible ,
so I concluded to copy it on the typewriter.
I went to the desk and copied It hurriedly
end bonded It to the boy without reading.
He soon came back and said I must sign
my name and address on thc-hack , and told
mo the amount it cost , whleh seemed large ,
but I was Hushed with wine and careless ,
paid him and rushed for a train to the
country , where for two days I made merry
with friends , BO glad was I to get ono part
of the business off my bands.
I was coming back to town Tuesday with
a dark brown taste In my mouth and a bad
headache , when I bought the Globe mid
looked carelessly at tt. In a minute my
head was on lire. There In glaring bead-
lines was the following double-leaded dis
patch :
ANOTHER IlEVOLUTION.
An Attempt to Seize the Government of
San Castaragna Frustrated.
A 13IGSCHEME BLOCKED.
Hosea IJoggs of New York Ships Men and
Ammunition to Cordova.
. BOSENKO IS IN JAIL.
The New York Conspirator to Bo Arrested
by the United States Oniceru.
[ Special Cable to tbo New York Globe ,
Copyright , 189 . )
CORDOVA , July 'J. A sensation was
caused hero today by the arrest of Geuwal
Ilernando Hosenko , charged by President
3uzco with attempting a revolution , The
city Is wild with excitement. The revolu
tion will not Kiicceed.
It seems that Saturday night General
Bosenko received n cablegram from his
S'ow York agent , Hosea Hoggs , us follows :
Shipped by steamer Barcelona
5,000 rllles.
1,000 revolvers ,
100 cannon ( rifled ) .
75 good soldiers.
1,000,000 cartridges.
Government will recognize revolutionists ,
Monroe doctrine goes.
This cablegram was lying on General
loscnko'8 desk when your correspondent
; alled Sunday morning. The general was
iut. Your correspondent saw It was Im-
) ortant , as It was In cipher. Fortunately
ho key was In one of Ihu general's plBcou-
loles ( they are vury careless down here )
ind your correspondent soon deciphered the
nessage , though there were many mistakes ,
! vldently In transmission.
With the Globe's Huual enterprise , I'resl-
Icnt Cuzco was informed and last night
Joscnko was lodged lin Jail. The United
Slates was wired through the San Castara-
; uan minister at Washington to arrest
losca Hoggs , who It will bo reineinben-d
vas n partner In the deviltry that old
-'lamlngo was concerned In , which came
mt at his death. Reports from Now York
how that Hoggs has been spending large
imounts of money and talking myaterlouHly
vhcn In his cups. It Is known that Hosenko
vas In New York In May.
The government has madu every prepara-
Inn to seize the Barcelona when It arrives
ind thu revolution will bo put down without
rouble. It U feared that many prominent
nen are Involved. Bouenko Bays it Is all a
nlEtaku and he can prove his Innocence.
THOMAS WALLING.
Then followed thU local item :
Hosea Hoggs is well known in this city ,
lo was formerly a newspaper man , but
eft that business for trade. Since Flam-
ngo'a death ho bus been doing little up-
larently , though recently , as the above dls-
latch relates , he baa been spending money
reely. Yesterday his ofnce was closed , not
vtu an otllce boy being there. It la be
lieved he got a tip from Uosenko and hn
. left the country.
j I nearly fainted. It couldn't bo true.
re.i 1 It again and ng.iln , but nil t caul
I make of It was that Tommy Walling MR
i Tying to throw mo down Again , I re nlvi
| to go str.ilpht to my office and write .
letter to the Globe demanding a retraction
1 My messatu ; was not In cipher and ! c-onli
provr that It wasn't , so I felt sure of nink
1 Ing a ROO'l case of It , but resolved to dro ;
lof ) > cnko forever.
I On arriving at my office I found n lot o
| newspaper men and two dignified Rtra < i. < < > r
i who demanded to see me prhntfly at on.-r
I ( told the boys that I would aec" them l.i'iv '
, that It was all rlolit ; , and nsked the slranni-r :
i In. One was the Pan rasi.iramtan consul a
I New York nnd the other wns a t'nltec
i States deputy marshal. In n few words
explained that the dlspnteh wns u 1U . bu
they did not seem convinced , whereupon '
handed them the original cablegram -whlel
I had written and fortunately preserved
They studied It for some time and flnallj
the marshal said :
"It would be much more satisfactory. Mi-
Hoggs , lo see the ono you sent away. Cm :
yon send for It to the telegraph ofllce ? "
"Certainly , " said 1 , rlimlug a messcnstei
rait and writing a note to the superintend'
cut , asking for the message on file.
This seemed to satisfy the two men am' '
I told them that In the meantime I -\otilil
write out n statement for the newspapel
men who were waiting. They agreed am !
I went to the typewriter nnd begun. 1 nni
n good operator and seldom look at mj
copy while writing , but I wns very nervous ,
I started out to explain the situation. Hav
ing written threi- lines I turned up the
cylinder to look at It and my hair stood on
end. Here Is what It read :
Ny gaf Idutax kz IJrxbyjko mabpleas :
. ? ahld Ip nowe bxt yhan tarw cabl
mealiy Inayt zlosxy tatr Ian. Tztralm kl..m
b tastlwq. Uzxup 'aqr fait gaanvoos nlttl-
zamy.
I rubbed my hand across my brow , pulled
out the sheet , tore It up and put In nil-
other. Ibis time 1 went more slowly. 1
could not see how I had been so nervous aa
to make so many mistakes. After three
lines I looked again iind gient heavens ,
there It was again :
Ny gat Idutax kz Brxbyjko mabplcaa :
? nhld Ip nowo bxt yhan tarw said
meahy Inayt zlosxy tntr Ian. Txtralm Kl..m
b tastlwq. U/.xup , aqr fait gaanvoos nlttl-
zamy.
I began to think I had gone Insaim nnd
the consul and marshal looked at me sus
piciously. 1 made a third attempt with th
same result and was about to say I was II
when nn olllciul from the telegraph offlc
entered with my cablegram , saying \vo eoi'h
look at It In bis presence , but the compnu
must keep possession of It.
"Thero It Is , " 1 shouted ; "that will sho\
my innocence. I only shipped some pro
visions to Bosenko , who Is n merchant. "
The consul took It , read It , frowned , an
handed It to thu marshal , who did the sam
and looked at me , saying :
"I am sorry , Mr. Hoggs , but this Is bat
business. I grabbed the message- and reat
to my.horror :
Bosenko , Cordova :

Nohhrtdysgg co ; ftso pm dohjy nbrtuyoml
hpohm erpp
Jpdis Nphhd.
"Did you write that message ? " asked the
consul.
"I did not. " I said , choking with rage.
"Is that your signature on the back ? '
asked the marshal.
Sure enough. It wns , but I could have
sworn I had not written It.
"Does any ono else in this country use
the cipher ? " asked thu consul.
"No sir , " I replied , "and I did not use
It on this occasion. I do not think It Is
anything at all. The fact is , I was excited
when I wrote it , anil probably hit the wrong
key on the typewriter. The address I adml
is In my handwriting. I wruto It with a pel
before using the typewriter. You see It's nl
a horrid mistake ? "
"Lot us have your key , then , " ' said the
consul , ' "and sec if it Ills. "
I handed it to him , and In a few minutes
ho said :
"Mr. Boggs , It Is useless to play this don
bio game any longer. Though there arc
Koine- errors , It Is easy enough to translate
This message Is exactly the one publlshei
In the Globe this morning. Mr. Marshal , I
jni sorry , but you must execute that war
rant and hold Mr. Boggs for trial.
It Is useless to tell how I expostulated
suore.pleaded und explained. The damnliif
evidence was against me and nil they wouh
allow me wns time to write out tbo state
ment fur the press which I had commenced
A fourth time I began It , and again the
letters came all wrong. I was fairly dazed
Finally an Idea seized me. I picked up mj
cablegram I had originally written , nnd
read It. Strangely enough It came cut In
the cipher just as I bad sent It to the tele
graph office. I showed it to the consul In
triumph.
"There , " I salj , "It Is the machine's fault.
Someone has tampered with my machine ,
and It writes' cipher Instead of English.
See ? "
They didn't see at first , but when I showed
how It worked the consul remarked :
"Very Ingenious , Mr. Hoggs , but yeti are
a fool to have changed the letters on jour
machine so as to write u cipher. It's a clean
give away. "
"But I didn't do It , " I cried , "some enemy
has done this to ruin me ! "
"Nonsense , " said the marshal , "do you
suppose anyone could accidentally misplace
the lines in that machine to fit your cipher ?
Do you remember that example In permuta
tions in the arithmetic about the number
of ways In which the letters of the alphabet
cnn bo placed ? Why there's trillions of
billions of ways , and no one could do It but
yourself , Come along und wo will sec about
bail. "
Bitterly did I curse the day that I even
set eyes on Bosenko. I was held In $25,000
ball for court. I tent to the different selling
agents of arms with whom I had dealt , but
they all indignantly denied any knowledge
of mu. They were afraid of being caught
In the game. So I staid In jail , but was
satisfied that as soon as the Barcelona
reached Cordova with the provisions I would
bo released. Unfortunately the Barcelona
went down with all on board off Cape Hat-
tcrau , und I tliould probably have been went
to the penitentiary for years had not Gen
eral Morena suddenly recovered from the
gout , descended on Cordova , and carried out
i successful revolution. Hosenko was re
leased , but exiled , at the demand of tbo
syndicate , und 'ils ' property confiscated. After
long negotiation I wns released three weeks
before Cuzco's last successful counter
revolution.
But my money Is now gone. I am broken
n reputation and am an outcast. I have at
ast , however , solved the whole mystery.
Jn the day I discharged my olllce boy he
> erformcil the deed that undid me. Ho has
jonfessed thu whole story under my threat
if prosecuting him , though I don't know
vhat 1 could prosecute him for. It sccma
hat , enraged o\cr his discharge , ho re
solved to do me an much mischief as he
: ouM and looked around for an opportunity ,
finally IIP lighted on the typewriter as the
test object and from pure mallco decided
o change some of the letters so as to annoy
ne. Ho was familiar enough with the
nachlno to do this with a few tools bo
lorrowcd from a neighboring ofllce on the
ilea that ho wanted to replace some bat-
crcd letters. First hn exchanged "a" for
4z. " Then hu exchanged "b" for "in. "
I'lils was about all bo bad Intended to do ,
jut seeing that It was easy ho concluded
o change them all , which ho did with thu
'xcoptlon of the ( Igures and odd characters.
lo claims that ho did this In hit or mlus
aslilnn , without any Idea of my cipher ,
vlilcb be had never seen and whleh hud
lever left my possession. Nevertheless the
tmngcs hu mndo did exactly lit the cipher
vlth a few trifling exception ) ! , which Wali
ng had noted , but whleh xvero candy mi
nuted In translating. That ho should have
ccompllshcd this may seem beyond belief ,
jut I can only point to the above ofllclal
ecords for proof.
When I think that I might now bo a
nijor general and secretary of < the treasury
f Custaragiia , worth $1,000,000 at least. It
nukes my blood boll to know I was kept
ut of It all by an accident that might
lappvn only once in u billion decllllon
lines.
I am getting $6 a week as barker for a
ecnndhaml clothing store on thu Bowery ,
valtlng for another accident to land mo on
civet again , but the waiting la tiresome
nd thu chances seem much against me.
I have written this truthful narrative In
ustlce to myself to prove that I am an
nnocent man. who baa suffered from a
rugedy In perrautatlong , I am euro no
ne can doubt It.
