They also have not forgotten that they have to revenge on the vain Spaniards the defeat of Manco-Capac." "Well said! Manangani; it is the god of hatred who speaks from thy mouth. My brethren shall know before long him whom their chiefs have chosen to lead this great vengeance.
Martin Paz and Manangani performed prodigies of valor, and escaped death only by miracle. It was necessary at all hazards that the palace should be taken and occupied by their men. "Forward!" cried Martin Paz, and his voice led the Indians to the assault. Although they were crushed in every direction, they succeeded in making the body of troops around the palace recoil.
"No," replied the Indian, violently; "let her lose all hope of seeing him again; let her die, if she will." And the Sambo tore the billet in a rage. "It must have been an Indian who brought this billet," observed Manangani. "Oh, it cannot have been one of ours! He must have known that I often came to this inn, but I will set my foot in it no more.
"Did not my brethren know," resumed Manangani, "that there was an exchange of shots between the Annonciation and the custom-house officers, and that the capture of the vessel would have ruined our projects of conspiracy?" A murmur of approbation received the words of the Indian.
Already had Manangani sprang on the first steps; but he suddenly stopped as the opening ranks of soldiers unmasked two pieces of cannon ready to fire on the assailants. There was not a moment to lose; the battery must be seized before it could be discharged. "On!" cried Manangani, addressing himself to Martin Paz.
As he spoke thus, Manangani had approached Martin Paz; a poignard was gleaming in his hand. Martin Paz did not even look at him. "Let us first speak," said the Sambo; "we will act afterward. If my son fails to conduct his brethren to the combat, I shall know now on whom to avenge his treason. Let him take care! the daughter of the Jew Samuel is not so well concealed that she can escape our hatred.
The rebels had left the square of the tavern, and were scattered in all quarters; at the head of one of the columns, Martin Paz was waving the black flag the flag of independence; while the Indians in the other streets were attacking the houses appointed to ruin, Martin Paz took possession of the Plaza-Mayor with his company; near him, Manangani was uttering ferocious yells, and proudly displaying his bloody arms.
This flight had all the consequences of treason; the Indians believed themselves abandoned by their chief. Manangani in vain attempted to bring them back to the combat; a rapid fusillade sent among them a shower of balls; thenceforth it was no longer possible to rally them; the confusion was at its height and the rout complete.
