There was also stopping at the same hotel a charming American "woman with whom he was slightly ac■qnainted. The prisoners had been liberated and were rushing madly through the streets. The order had also been . given that all windows and shutters inust be kept closed. Shut tip in her dark room and hearing the noisy rabble below, the woman became greatly alarmed.
