And again the padre swallowed a large glassful of claret, and smacked his lips as before. "Now your news, dear padre?" "Pues, cavalleros our hunters have returned!" "Y pues?" "Pues que! they have brought news." "Of what?" "Of our friend the cibolero." "Of Carlos?" "Precisely of that individual." "What news? Have they seen him?" "No, not exactly him, but his trail.
"Buenos dias, cavalleros!" responded the padre. "Glad to see you, good father!" said Roblado. "You have saved me a ride. I was just in the act of starting for the mission to wait upon your reverence." "And if you had come, capitan, I could have given you a luxury to lunch upon. We have received our buffalo-tongues."
That is their own affair, cavalleros. Let them decide." "Shall we send for them? or will you send them to us?" inquired Roblado. "Do you not think it would be better for one of you to go to them? The matter should be managed privately. If they make their appearance here, and hold an interview with either of you, your business with them will be suspected, and perchance get known to him.

"Why, padre!" said Roblado; "it's the very thing we have been thinking about the very business for which I was about to seek you." "You had good reason, cavalleros.
It would be quite useless to attempt such a thing." "Cavalleros!" Carlos addressed himself to both "I assure you I could find them. They are not so far off." Both the Comandante and his captain started, and visibly turned pale. The cibolero did not affect to notice this.
Certainly the enthusiasm of the ring, the presence of Mexican belles and their cavalleros, the picturesqueness and novelty of the whole show are worth experiencing. It should be remembered that the red cloth waved in front of him is the main cause of Toro's irritation. Why it should so irritate him we don't know.
De Cussy, in Hispaniola, led an expedition of 1000 men, many of them filibusters, against St. Jago de los Cavalleros in the interior of the island, and took and burnt the town. In revenge the Spaniards, supported by an English fleet which had just driven the French from St.
Ruiz received the title of Grand Pilot of the Southern Ocean, with a liberal provision; Candia was placed at the head of the artillery; and the remaining eleven companions on the desolate island were created hidalgos and cavalleros, and raised to certain municipal dignities, in prospect. Several provisions of a liberal tenor were also made, to encourage emigration to the country.
