By Kellogg's orders, planks are nailed across the doors and windows, and secured by iron stanchions. Barricades are thrown across St Louis Street, and the main entrance of the hotel is closed. One door — a back door in Royal Street — is left open. Inside and out the State House is strengthened to resist a
