were in our camp. The American sol
diers, who were infantry and some sail
ors, had been mounted-perhaps on
some of my horses. The soldiers were
not good horsemen, and, besides, did
not understand the management o6
Mexican horses. So the horses ran al
full speed until they were in our camp.
and here were other horses of the same
drove. The battle was hand to hand
fight. On the American side Capt.
Moore and a sergeant were killed in
the charge. Capt. Gillespie received
severe lance thrust, was thrown from
his horse and left for dead. He would
have been killed only that he wore
coat of mail of four thicknesses of
leather. 1 knew the man that Ianced
him, and l now have the lance in my
museum. This coat of mail is called a
Guerra, and is frequently worn by spar
ish soldiers. There were seven or eight
Americans killed and as many
wounded. The dead were buried at the
foot of large tree on the battlefield.
Two or three Mexicans were slightly
wounded.
"A soldier called LIE Blonde threw
his lariat over cannon in the enemy's
lines, and hauled it into our own, and
we used it against the Mexicans. Near
ly all the Mexicans killed had lance
thrusts-guns were not used much by
the Mexicans.
''The next battle was at Paso del
Portola, on the San Gabriel. The river
was swollen to about 200 yards wide,
and our army was on the bluff over
looking the river, almost concealed
amid chaparral and grove of mustard
plants. Our cannon mounted on an OK
cart, commanded the approach of the
enemy. While they were crossing the
stream we played away, but we did not
know much about loading and firing
cannon, and our shot would hit the
water with a phizz and a splash, and
that was all. Somebody put in two
much powder, and the cannon went off
with boom, upset the cart and the
oxen, and believe all rolled down hill.
We then set the mustard patch on
fire to stifle the enemy and blend his
march, and retired to La Mesa. Two or
three Americans were wounded by our
cavalrymen, but no one on our side was
hurt.
At La Alcsa, that hill across the river,
in the present suburbs of Los Angeles,
we were reinforced with the Church

ans Gun" 1t is a small brass cannon.

was to form California into an inde-
pendent republic. The Bear Flag was
hauled down when Commander Sloat
came.
The Mexican side of the revolution is
not found in history, and many of the
details of this opera bouffe affair are
therefore of interest in view of the COM
ing celebration.
Don Antonio Coronel, of Los Angeles,
one of the leaders, related to me, re-
Gently, the following historical Incl
dents:
The principal cause of the pronunci-
amento was because of Capt. Giles
pies tyrany. He had been left in COM
Inand at Los Angeles after the country
had been surrendered. He declared
martial law, and arrested people for
trivial causes. One night his negro
cook. whom l had befriended, come to
my house and told me that Gen. Flores,
myself and others were to be arrested.
We at once organized. | gathered all
the old pieces of iron, ! took them to
the Mission San Gabriel where they
were made into lances. Pieces of lead
were taken from the roofs and melted
into bullets, We soon had 500 men in
the field, many not having weapons,
but all had lariats-very effective in the
hands of a Mexican. Sonora Juracercia
Reyes made some powder. Our army
then marched to meet Gen. Kearny,
and drive him out of the country.
Il was appointed commissioner to
Mexico, to solicit aid to reconquer Cal
ifornia. / Immediately started with
MY escort, and, as there was not much
money in the country, took along q
cavalcade of about 500 horses for ex-
penses-to sell on the way. At the Col
orado river turned back because the
Indians had heard of my coming and
would have taken the horses, and
probably killed us. l gave my dis
patches for the supreme government
to a courier who eIuded the Indians,
crossed the river and arrived safely in
Mexico. But it was no use.

San Diego, heard that Gen. Kearny's

delegates from clubs and other organ
Nations interested, held in this city, a
resolution was adopted that the dele
gates pledge themselves to do all in

the Lincoln monument out of the hands

The resolution also contemplates max

and getting an appropriation from the
next Legislature of from 100000 to
100000 to repair the monument. The
monument, beneath which rest the re-
mains Of Lincoln, has been mutilated
by vandals and injured by the wealth

ing some time before January / in
this city to demand that the appro-
priation be made at once. Many As

pledge, and, the feeling in the State is
intense Although the Garfield monu-
ment cost $4,000 less, it is much bet
ter kept than that of Lincoln.
