An expanding gray cloud spread out low fiver the tunsa height* Ifi Han Diego on a recent evening, and a mist lifted up to It from the laty waters of tho bay, being tho long arm of tho proiunutory wltli the gleaming gem on Its finger, inching from white to red more intensely as the gloom deepened over the city. | Tho electric light* Marred into wliite- Iringed yellow blotchM, and j olnts of fire burned on tho slope* of bluckuans that were embraced by tho fog-welded sea and aky. Tho eok ,r of the night seemed in designed accord with tho ex hibition of hum in anguish that a dan Diego "Hun" reporter Was a witneaa to at the Indian raucheria lu tho city park. Here It la that a group of Indians have lived since coming from Uuja California over twenty years ago, with no more prosperity visible lu their fuur huts or I the small cleared space where their food | Is cooked and their horses and wagons , accommodated than tho oarly settlers found before tho city of ban Dlsge, now encircling tho spot, was mote than a handful of eottagos. The only addition to their rough shel ters Is a circular hut, thatched with ball sugc, fan palms uud munsnuita, thrown over narrow boards cru . tissue veil protected tho swollen and o caying features from the i!io- The liunds wore crossed ovor a dark shroud, uttd a flatlron served to hold thorn in place. From foot to neck w ; stretched a ootlod curtain of ai >e , whtto laco, and on it, below the ohiu of the corpse, lay two short twins of > binilux. The cover of tho .'ia was set up against the lounge on tho north side, where n corn- ly. copp.-i | colored Indian girl stooc. brushing I away the flios with a ragge ' white silk ' handkerchief. She had a bandana, such os the corpse wore, knotted around her head in the same way, hut tied under instead of over the chin. She wore a skirt of olive green wool, a sack of brown and yollow striped calico, a white apron and a short black shawl. Site was the childless widow of Gonzalos, and her face wore a look of apathetic endurance, as Bhe gazed tearlessly upon tho putrlfy lng features. The mthor of tho dead sat on a box ut the foot of coffin, a (Mlpplcd rheumatic who had to be caMod in from bis wretched hut of bougfe and canvas. His hair and board were white, and his face had an expression of dignified haughti ness, indicating his mreltion among the tribo. A patchwork wapory was drawn around his shoulders and knotted on tho chest. He sat with his hands on his knees, apparently waiting for eomo ex ercises to begin. Tho mother, a wrlnklod creature in black dross anil rebosa, was enthroned besldo him. The aged squaws crouched on squares of matting near tho venerable buok, and two young ones knelt In tho dust tho other end of tho hut, hooded tn blaok shawls. Outside on pieces of matting wore a half dozen more bucks and squaws about a lowering camp lire, finishing their supper of bread und coffeo. By tho time they had dono and tho blackened tin utensils wore stowod in one of the small huts, the guosts had gath ered, one party coming up in a wagon. Tho old buck reached behind him for four wax candles In bottles and tin holders. He lighted them, and tho mother placed one of them at each cornorof tho coffin. Threo Bquaws wearing black robosas wero the first to enter tho place of mourning. Simultaneously, as they ranged tnomselvos opposite tho window, tho entire group bogan a low, pathetic moan, that deopenod Into a volume of sound torriblo to hear and awesome to comprehend. The dignity of their atti tudes us with uplifted faces they mourned for tho dead, was one of dramatic fervor not equalled In the red lights of the stage, The tears streamod over their features -unchecked, and the passionate lntonsity of feeling that is represented boueath their usual stolidity transformed the dull faces Into statues of savage, passionate Buffering. Tho voices dropped to a wall as u young squaw holding a stick reached the entrance. Behind for and grasping the other end tottered a very old creature with a bluck band like a crown over the white hair hanging short and thick about her neck. Bho was led to the head of the coffin, where she folt for the odgo like ono who is nearly blind. She moaned and sunk to tbe ground with uplifted hands. Her head swayed back and forth and she sobbed aloud, every cry being heavy, deep and soul stirring. They crowilod in, bucks and squaws, until the smell place was full, except the side where the widow stood. And as they came the terrible cries, penetrated with subtle shades of feeling,rose and fell ltko tho tide, breakers of augulsh dashing themselves into spray of signing sound over the poor coffin. At a sign from the old buck thoy ail knelt and chanted a prayer. He straight ened up and spoke to them of Gonzales and of his death, and rohearsod the promise of salvation assured to thoso who belong to the Roman Catholic ohuroh. As he leaned back exhausted tho wall bogan again. Gongnlos' widow knelt be side tho coffin, anil tho mother arose at tho foot. Her language was an enigma, but her actions wore those of a mother bereft of her child. Thoro was a sub limity in her grief that hushed tho others, a tragic power In her anguished gestures that a Rachel envy. She soomod to bo recalling in her wild bursts the birth and childhood of tho lad and to bo repeating Incidents of his development to manhood.
