They included all the places occupied as
headquarters by staffs of the various brigades and divisions of
the American Army, as well as the American hospital and other
buildings devoted to army uses.
"What do the red marks mean, do you think?" asked Billy, with
lively curiosity.
"Blood or bombs or something of that kind, I suppose," replied
Frank. "Taking this with what I gathered from the fellow's speech,
I think it marks places that are to be blown up. It looks like a
general uprising against American rule. I think that Army
headquarters will find this little sheet of paper an interesting
thing to study. And it wouldn't surprise me very much if our
genial friend over there should find himself before long standing
before a firing squad."
"What is this place here?" asked Tom, putting his finger on one of
the red spots.
"I don't know of any government building there," commented Billy.
Frank took another look.
"Why, fellows," he said with quickening interest, "that's where
the alley is that we were so nearly trapped in the other night.
Don't you recognize it?"
"Sure enough," agreed Billy.
