Felix Diaz, In command of the rebel forces fortified and entrenched in and around the arsenal, had held his ground against the Federals. He had done more than this. He had subjected the city to a more terrific bombardment thajd that of Tuesday. He had enlarged his zone of action and had sent forces against the National Palace.

An hour or two thereafter Perry Henderson, his father, and other rel atives, armed themselves and vowed they were going to rescue Tom. The citizens took steps to repel the attack and the Henderson clan were finally dissuaded from their purpose. Hen derson was carried to Spartanburg Friday for safe keeping.
