At
the
answer
the
admiral
would
plump
himself
down
with
a
great
rattling
of
scabbard
to
await
the
infrequent
tick
of
the
little
instrument
on
the
table
.
"
They
will
come
,
"
would
be
his
unshaken
reply
;
"
I
am
the
admiral
.
"
At
the
head
of
the
insurgent
party
appeared
that
Hector
and
learned
Theban
of
the
southern
republics
,
Don
Sabas
Placido
.
A
traveller
,
a
soldier
,
a
poet
,
a
scientist
,
a
statesman
and
a
connoisseur
--
the
wonder
was
that
he
could
content
himself
with
the
petty
,
remote
life
of
his
native
country
.
"
It
is
a
whim
of
Placido
's
,
"
said
a
friend
who
knew
him
well
,
"
to
take
up
political
intrigue
.
It
is
not
otherwise
than
as
if
he
had
come
upon
a
new
tempo
in
music
,
a
new
bacillus
in
the
air
,
a
new
scent
,
or
rhyme
,
or
explosive
.
He
will
squeeze
this
revolution
dry
of
sensations
,
and
a
week
afterward
will
forget
it
,
skimming
the
seas
of
the
world
in
his
brigantine
to
add
to
his
already
world-famous
collections
.
Collections
of
what
?
Por
Dios
!
of
everything
from
postage
stamps
to
prehistoric
stone
idols
.
"
But
,
for
a
mere
dilettante
,
the
æsthetic
Placido
seemed
to
be
creating
a
lively
row
.
The
people
admired
him
;
they
were
fascinated
by
his
brilliancy
and
flattered
by
his
taking
an
interest
in
so
small
a
thing
as
his
native
country
.
They
rallied
to
the
call
of
his
lieutenants
in
the
capital
,
where
(
somewhat
contrary
to
arrangements
)
the
army
remained
faithful
to
the
government
.
There
was
also
lively
skirmishing
in
the
coast
towns
.
It
was
rumoured
that
the
revolution
was
aided
by
the
Vesuvius
Fruit
Company
,
the
power
that
forever
stood
with
chiding
smile
and
uplifted
finger
to
keep
Anchuria
in
the
class
of
good
children
.
Two
of
its
steamers
,
the
Traveler
and
the
Salvador
,
were
known
to
have
conveyed
insurgent
troops
from
point
to
point
along
the
coast
.
As
yet
there
had
been
no
actual
uprising
in
Coralio
.
Military
law
prevailed
,
and
the
ferment
was
bottled
for
the
time
.
And
then
came
the
word
that
everywhere
the
revolutionists
were
encountering
defeat
.
In
the
capital
the
president
's
forces
triumphed
;
and
there
was
a
rumour
that
the
leaders
of
the
revolt
had
been
forced
to
fly
,
hotly
pursued
.
In
the
little
telegraph
office
at
Coralio
there
was
always
a
gathering
of
officials
and
loyal
citizens
,
awaiting
news
from
the
seat
of
government
.
One
morning
the
telegraph
key
began
clicking
,
and
presently
the
operator
called
,
loudly
:
"
One
telegram
for
el
Almirante
,
Don
Señor
Felipe
Carrera
!
"
There
was
a
shuffling
sound
,
a
great
rattling
of
tin
scabbard
,
and
the
admiral
,
prompt
at
his
spot
of
waiting
,
leaped
across
the
room
to
receive
it
.
The
message
was
handed
to
him
.
Slowly
spelling
it
out
,
he
found
it
to
be
his
first
official
order
--
thus
running
:
Proceed
immediately
with
your
vessel
to
mouth
of
Rio
Ruiz
;
transport
beef
and
provisions
to
barracks
at
Alforan
.
