by rushing into the river but the Texans fred upon
them, and only some twenty of them all escaped.
| The battlefield was covered with tall grass, and
many of the wounded Mexicans had concealed
themselves in this. There being q high wind,
some of the Texans set FIRE to this grass and then
shot a, the wounded wre,ches as they came crawl

an hour before his interpreter had chance to say
word. He begged to remind Houston what the
world would saw if he should be treated harshy.-
Hi, soldiers he was satisfied could not fight with
the Americans, whom he found to be highly res
pectable people, instead of tho blackguards be had
supposed them to be- He said he was contending
against the annexation of Texas TO the L. States,
who were too near Mexico already, he said. If
Texas could be an Independent nation between
the two countries it would, he thought be best for
all; and If he had the pleasure Of getting back
to Merico, he said he would try and secure indie
pendence 10 Texas
After this beating about the main point he finally
said the Texans at the Alamo had insulted him,
and thus forced him to attack them: and they
were very brave that he could not take them
prisoners. They all fought ill they died. Ask
him, said Houston, arhy he put Faning to death.
! Santa Ana then entered into an exposition Of
the Mexican law which he was obliged to put in
force; though, he said, he did not believe the men
were dead if they were, however, he was not re.
spopsible for their death.
Col. Perry said he wished to state one thing no,

for bravery and courage in the battle and in the
affairs of Texas but Golf said he was only driven

men. Just then it was discovered that Houston
was wounded, and he was taken back to the camp.
