"That is excellent. Now, if the Jaguar be as true to his word as I am to mine, I answer for success."
"I hold your promise, Señor Alferez," said a man who had entered the room some moments previously.
"Rayo de Dios! You and your comrades are welcome; for, of course, you are not alone."
"I have twenty men, worth a hundred."
"Bravo! I recognise the Jaguar in that."
The latter began laughing.
"They only await a signal from me to come in."
"Let them come, let them come; time is precious, so let us not waste it in trifling."
The Jaguar walked to the door, and threw away the lighted cigarette he held in his hand. The twenty conspirators entered, and ranged themselves silently behind their Chief. Ramirez came in immediately after, followed by the two naval officers.
