Annexed to it is the Casa del Rey, built in 1832, and serving for offices of the military commandancy. The infantry barracks Cuartel del Infanteria is also a building of modern construction, dating from 1848; and, though of simple architecture, it is very capacious. And now let us leave Mayaguez for a little while, and get on with the war. The Engagement at Las Marias
"He is a crafty fellow," said the alferez, speaking to the curate. "He wanted to flee, but had received a flesh wound." "What is your name?" asked the alferez, speaking to Tarsilo. "Tarsilo Alasigan." "What did Don Crisostomo promise you for attacking the cuartel?" "Don Crisostomo has never communicated with us." "Don't deny it! You wanted to surprise us for him!" "You are mistaken.
"Two wings!" she mused.... "What's between the wings?" "A heart, you may say, if you will. Or a soul. A capacity. Words are fashioned by scholars dull fellows. But you know what I mean." From the hidden depths of the cuartel a silver bugle-note sounded, and Sylvia looked to see if the soldiers sitting out in front would go away; but they did not do so. She arose.
He had pleased me much, and he was ragged. While we were talking, there was a sound of firing guns four or five, rattlingly, as if by a squad. The cheerful noise came from the direction of the cuartel, which is a kind of makeshift barracks for the soldiers of the republic. "Hear that?" said William Trotter. "Let me tell you about it. "A year ago I landed on this coast with one solitary dollar.
The alarm-drum beat in the plaza, and the long roll echoed in every cuartel. Signal rockets shot up from San Juan, and were answered by others from Santiago and Concepcion. Thousands of dark forms clustered upon the roofs of the city and the ramparts of the castle; and thousands of pale lips whispered in accents of terror, "They come! they come!"
"They arrest my Andong, wound him, put him in the stocks, and take him to the capital, all because he happened to be in the cuartel yard." But few people had any sympathy for the Mussulman mother-in-law. "Don Crisostomo is to blame for all of this," sighed a woman. The school teacher also was wandering about in the crowd.
By the time we had done the village, the hour of business had come, and we moved up to the little parade in front of the cuartel, where an enormous crowd had already assembled. As at Campote, so here, and for the same reasons, very few old women were present, but about as many young ones and children as there were men.
They approached Lucas. The latter saw them coming and smiled. "Eh! there!" said Tarsilo. "What is it?" "How much do you give?" asked the two brothers. "I have already told you. If you want to find some others to help us surprise the cuartel, I will give you thirty pesos apiece, and ten pesos for each companion you get.
"This is the one who defended himself most bravely, and who ordered his companions to flee," said the alferez to Father Salví. Behind came another miserable sight, a man crying and weeping like a child. He was limping and his pantaloons were stained with blood. "Mercy, señor, have mercy! I will not enter the cuartel yard again," he cried.
The struggle was described in El Cuartel Real as a religious war; the theological allegiance of the partisans of Don Carlos was appealed to, and their ardent attachment to the Papacy was worked upon, as in the concluding sentence of the proclamation of Don Carlos.
