Monday morning we were up -earlyto put ina fullday at further sightseeing in Monterey. The first trip was out to the Bishop's Palace, on the suburbs of the city, where are the ruins of what was once 4 magnificent structure. To reach this was necessary to climb a hill seyeral hundred feet high, but the view obtained from the summit repaid the fatigue _-many times over. On one side nestled the city almost surrounded by hills and mountains; and on the other formiles away stretched | tigal fertile valley. Back olace the hills rise higher and bigber uutil they reach the range of mountains beyond. _ [a the war of 1847 this palace, a massive stone structure, becsuse of its commanding prominence overlooking both the city and yaliey, way used asa fort by tne Mexicans to protect Monterey against an attack from the Ameri. caus. - But it was here that Gon. Zachary Taylor, in command of a regiment of United States troops, showed that “Uncle Sam’s” army was better skilled in military exploit than those of Mexico. » Gen. Taylor was seen marching ‘his regiment up the valley towards Monterey, but was careful not to briug them within range of the -guus in the fort. Suddenly the regiment turned to the right and disappeared among the hills, the Mexicans thinking this meant they would retire tothe mountains and muke no attack. Findirg their way amoog the hills the American soldiers bravely march- ed and tugged their euns to the top of a bill overlooking the palace and planted their artillery onthe sammit. Their before the Moxicans wero aware of it death dealing wmiseiles wero being hurled into their midst. Gen. Taylor’s men literally stormed and captured the palace and from tis vantare grouod captured Monterey.. Oar guide on this trip to the Bishop’s Palace, a very intelligent young Mexican, Armaudo Yerena bz name, had this chapter of war history at his tongue’s end and Was quite dramatic as he inter- : estingly related it, doubtless feeling that speaking well oi American chiyalry and bravery would be pleasing to an American audience, even if it was a small = ORe | While taking a birds-eye view wv of the city from the paluce heights, our guide pointed out 4 cemetery. over on the northern subarb and narrated some very acanny things about barials that take place there. The rich are of @ able to bury their dead ently and erect monuments m, but the poor goto en ate gal Ithe Governor’s Palace, the peni- en class burials‘ often take pla without a coffin, a shallow trench being cut in the hard earth, the body placed therein and a few shoyels full of dirt thrown over it. | When coffins are used it is no uncommon thing for robbers to visit the cemetery th2. night following the burial, remove the remains from the coffin and put them back in the excavation, and take the coffin to the city to selt again. There is so much alkali inthe soil .bat a body once ex- posed to it is quickly eaten away or the flesh burned off leaving nothing but the bones. To save the trouble of digging new graves in the hard soil it frequently occurs that the undertaker scrapes inte an old grave and if the bcdy has all decayed the bones are thrown in some out of the way corner and another body placed there. Deliver us from ever having to be buried in Mexico! During the day we visited many other places of interest— tentiary, Civil College, the lead- ing educational institution ofjthe city, and soon. At each of these our party met with every courtesy cel nae ee re,-and desiring attention to many other things as wall, there was not an opportu- this question. But so far as our observation went we reached the’ some exceptions a Mexican doilar will buy just as much of Mesican will buy of American products. comes to American articles sold over on the other side of the border. A few examples may jliustrate this: In the United States cigarettes sell for 5 cents a pack. The very same cigarette sent from this country and sold in Mexisc bring 10 cents (5 cents in our money) making the price on both sides the line the same. But cigarettes of Mexican manu- facture, made just as well and of purer tobacco, can be bought for 6 cents (3 cents our money.) Again, over there Mexican made cigars cay be bought at 6 for 25 cents that are as good as can be found anywhere in the United States at 3 for 25 cents. In this case the odds are largely in favor of Mexico. Once more; our and mark of respect. In fact we were impressed with the civility: party stopped at a hotel whose regular rate is $3 per day ($1.50 iy vit Ds he iA ay aH Leip f A Ninna aN fe Abani’, %4 Wik ait at PARS oe Sta RE yea WC W's ate ay tg 4. 3 hank f y ¥ 1a) es ghy : & Hin AD i i h » ta a: oe) bf te: is i eaat . h LZ x4] ie iO Att (AY f Beh ay 3 ta 1 \! ; Hit a) SP Anh Wille if aT aT Pee Ai F vi) iy \ A See) pee Cee ‘~y? 9 roy Pe” AP ie elf 3 P ote OW te ae i ‘ att , ete, dint ‘ Wy NAA Se RR NAN! ane “? ¥ OD ear el LP aor a They seemed anxious to point out or tell us anything desired, would offer us their seats on the street cars if they happened to be crowded, and would invariably step down and give us the right of way on the narrow sidewalks. Another very noticeable thing was the large number of soldiers to be seen. Several garrisons are in the city and the uniformed geptry were visible everywhere. These were of two classes with a marked distinction between them —the standing army regularly paid by the government ard the criminal soldiery. They have 4 custom in the republic of sen- tencing a criminal to so many years service in the army ac- cording to the tenor of his offense, in case he is not needed about any of the trade depaatmoents connected with the penal institu- tution. In extreme cases the offender is given his.choice of serving in the army for life or going to the salt mines for 5 years. Ifthe criminal places any value on his life with such a choice before him, he goes to the army, for no man has ever been in the salt mines. Because of this custom of sentencing crimi- nals to the army, only about 300 ure confined in the State prison of Nuevo Leon. These worked at different trades, the younger one. also attendipy u sGhool, 4 few words relative tuo prices avd tivancial conditions in Mex- ico may be of interest.

And now We will tell about the bull fight. ‘The Spanish love for blood and bratality that has always been @ characteristic of those people has been hereditary through fheir generations and still exists among the people of Mexico. ' Certainly almost every American has heard or reed something about a bull fight, yet few haye a conception of what it really is. A more horribly — rutal, cruel, inbuman spectacle cannot be imagined. It is sickening to witness aud even revolting to write about. Still the Mexican has great relish for such sport and would spend his last dollar to see a fight. These fights take place in an immense amphitheatre surround ing a large arena and are gov- erned by a code of rules. There are points in favor of the bull which are guarded by the judges: The judges consist of the Gover- nor of the State, Mavor of the city and-two or three other high officials, show.ng that even the high officials sanction such bru- tality. These are attended by a bugler through whom aill the signals are given. At the first sound of the bugle a gate swings open and the company of fighters, vonsisting of six metadors and two horsemen and. attendants: enter. They parade the arena with great pomp, salute the judges and receive rounds of applause from the wild, boisterous mob of spectators. n, the fighters take positions about the arena, the attendants retreat to places of safety, another gate swings open and in rashes a bull.
