SAN ANTONIO, March 25.-At netting
this evening of the executive committee
of the Alamo Monument association, it
was definitely determined to fix the mini
mum limit Of the fund for the construc-
ton of granite column in this city,
commemorate the massacre of the Alamo,
at 100000 and to adopt vigorous means
TO make the movement a truly national
one. An address will be issued by Gen
a. P. Bee, chairman of the committe
setting forth that the heroes of the Alamo
were not Texans, that in 1886, the year in
which the massacre occurred,
there was no Texas, but that
the men who gave up their lives in the
cause of liberty in the old Alamo fort were
from all sections of the union. Hence,
the effort to rear monument to their
memory should not be confined to Texas,
but should extend to all parts of the
United States. April 81 being San Jacinto
day, and as such designated as holiday
by the laws of Texas, the Alamo MOnu-
ment association will on that day make
special effort TO augment the fund by en-
listing the aid of all ladies in soliciting
contributions.
