This force, the colonel said, had taken up a defensive position; and he was moving toward it... Respectfully submitted, THEODORE SCHWAN, Brigadier-General Commanding. MAYAGUEZ, PUERTO RICO, Aug. 16. As soon as the result of the Hormigueros fight became known in Mayaguez about nine o'clock on the 10th Colonel Soto, the commander, "pulled up stakes."
A detachment from it will protect exposed flanks of the train. If horses can be procured for them, the commanders of the advance and rear guards will be mounted. The above disposition for each day's march will be conformed to, unless otherwise ordered. By command of Brigadier-General Schwan. GROTE HUTCHESON, Captain and Assistant Adjutant-General.
"Back, Rolla!" exclaimed Firejaws, hoarsely, as he laid his iron fist upon his wife's shoulder. Schwan came to the door and cordially said: "Where are your comrades? The soup is waiting." Robeckal hurriedly glided from the wagon, and approaching close to Rolla, he whispered a few words in her ear. "Let me go, Girdel," said the giantess. "Who would take such a stupid joke in earnest?
In case any one asks you, simply say you know nothing." "Neither I do," remarked Schwan. "So much the better, then you do not need to tell a lie; I advise you in your own interest not to say anything." The host went away and growled on the stairs: "Confound big people and their servants. I prefer guests like Girdel and his troupe."
What more natural than that the shrewd intendant, with an eye to better houses, should bethink him of the pen that had written 'The Robbers'? From Schwan and from Streicher, who had remained in Mannheim, he knew of Schiller's address and occupation. So he wrote him a gracious letter, inquiring after his welfare and expressing particular interest in the new play.
After a careful consideration of all the remonstrances and the strenuous denial by the candidate of all and every allegation and his desire that the promised honor be conferred upon him at once and without delay, it was decided by General Schwan that in the face of so much opposition there was nothing to do but to leave the residents of Mayaguez to decide the question for themselves which they did in a most emphatic manner by refusing to endorse the planter as a possibility, and presenting the name of Señor Santiago Palmer as an acceptable party.
"To Remiremont? Ah, I see the gentlemen do not belong to the vicinity. To Remiremont is about two hours." "So much the better; we can get there then in the course of the afternoon." "That is a question," remarked Schwan. "How so? What do you mean?" "The road is very bad," he replied. "That won't be so very dangerous." "Oh, but the floods!"
The Germans have a striking proverb; Was die Gans gedacht, das der Schwan vollbracht; What the goose but thought, that the swan fullbrought; or, to de-Saxonize it a little, pace Mr.
Can I invite you now to join us in a glass of wine?" Girdel protested more politely than earnestly; Schwan brought a bottle and glasses, and the giant sat down by the strangers. While this was going on, the first comer appeared to be deeply immersed in the paper, though he had not lost a word of the conversation, and as Firejaws took a seat near the strangers, he began again to laugh mockingly.
"Curious," muttered Pierre, "I did not see his face, but his voice seemed familiar." Mr. Schwan, the host of the Golden Sun at Sainte-Ame, a market town in the Vosges, was very busy. Although the month of February was not an inviting one, three travellers had arrived that morning at the Golden Sun, and six more were expected.
