But when I stared at him inquiringly his expression changed instantly to one of interrogation and complete unconcern. "Ah!" exclaimed Heinze, triumphantly, "he has a permit from the Government." "Let me see it," said the General. I handed it to him, and he drew a camp-chair from the tent, and, seating himself, began to compare me with the passport.
Under Laguerre there were Major Webster, an old man, who as a boy had invaded Central America with William Walker's expedition, and who ever since had lived in Honduras; Major Reeder and five captains, Miller, who was in charge of a dozen native Indians and who acted as a scout; Captain Heinze, two Americans named Porter and Russell, and about a dozen lieutenants of every nationality.
As I did so, I saw Porter run across the plaza with about fifty of his men, and almost immediately after they had disappeared we heard cheering, and he returned with Captain Heinze. They both ran toward General Laguerre, and Porter then came across to me, and told me that the government troops were in full flight, and escaping down the side streets into the jungle.
Captain Heinze pushed nearer, and shoved his fist close to Aiken's face. "We know what you are," he jeered. "We know you're no more on our side than you're the American Consul. You lied to us about that, and you've lied to us about everything else. And now we've caught you, and we'll make you pay for it."
Soon after we had started we reached a clearing, and Laguerre halted us and formed the column into marching order. Captain Miller, who was thoroughly acquainted with the trail, and his natives, were sent on two hundred yards ahead of us as a point. They were followed by Heinze with his Gatling guns.
He turned to the two officers. "Did he tell you this?" he demanded. They answered, "No," promptly, and truthfully as well, for they had not given me time to tell them anything. "Have you any credentials, passports, or papers?" he said. When he asked this I saw Reeder whisper eagerly to Heinze, and then walk away.
The cattle-path to the town is much too rough for our guns, so Captain Heinze and the gun detail will remain here and co-operate with General Garcia. Let your men get all the sleep they can now. They must march again at midnight. They will carry nothing but their guns and ammunition and rations for one meal. If everything goes as we expect, we will breakfast in Santa Barbara."
A well known lawyer, William E. Heinze, wrote very bitter articles for the press and undoubtedly influenced the German-American vote. The Rev. Wm. Byron Forbush, pastor of the North Woodward Congregational Church, spoke at anti-suffrage meetings. On March 29, with the election less than a week away, John Dohrinan and Senator James R. Murtha, representing Mr.
He ceased and stood gasping with indignation, but his show of anger encouraged Captain Heinze to make a fresh attack on Aiken. "Quay took you off the beach," he shouted. "He gave you food and clothes, and a bed to lie on. It's like you, to bite the hand that fed you. When have you ever stuck to any side or anybody if you could get a dollar more by selling him out?"
I pointed from the basin in which we stood, to the thickly wooded hills around us. "This camp has the advantage of water and grass," I said. I spoke formally, as though I were really making a report. "Those are its only advantages. Captain Heinze has pitched it in a hollow. In case of an attack, he has given the advantage of position to the enemy.
