AMERICAN PLUCK.

No American can read the tele-
graphic account of the gallant fight
made by fifteen Texas Rangers
against a large force OF Spanish
troops in the Pinar del Rio ProveLce
without a thrill Of National pride.
The Americans who had volunteered
TO help the cause Of Cuba, were in a
narrow ravfne and surrounded on all
sides. 1t was impossible to escape
and Father than have the word carried
back to the Lone Star State that the,
had SURRENDERED, they decided to de-
cline a flag of truce and fight to the
death.
IT was here that the SIaniards got a
bloody foretaste of the kind of fight
ing they would have TO meet in Cuba,
il an American army took the field.
Every crack OF the T-xan's Winrhest-
ers sent a Spaniard to the eround,
and by their terrible fire they thee
times repealed the charge of fh"
enemy. When but four or five were
left Of this intrepid hand they We're
again asked to surrender, but refu-+d
and fought to the end. The last man
shouted Viva Cuba Libre" AS a hui
let went through his chest. When the
Spanish forces counted up their dead
they began to realize the kind o. stuff
they would have to meet in battle
when America takes a hand in the
Cuban a
The gallant death of these men calls
to mind the last stand of the Old
Guard at Waterloo or the heroic de-
Tending Of the pass by the Greeks at
Thermopyl9. 1t will rouse an in
tense feeling Of State pride in Texas
and more rangers will soon cross the
borders to avenge the deaths of these
fifteen heroes, whose bodies are now
feasting the buzzards at Pima del
Rio. 1t is not saying too much fol
Texas that in a land battle the State
Of Texas alone could defeat all the
forces of Spain. But Texas is not the
only State in the Union-there ar
others.

PUTTING IN THE CROSSINGS.
THE STREETS ACROSS THE $. f. &
w. TRACKS BEING OPENED.

The Crossings at Henry and New
Houston Streets Half Completed.
The Work Being Done Under the
Direction of the Plant Systems
Engineers-COnsfder Land for
Rights of Way VIII Have 10 be
Purchased Alongside the Railway
Tracks.
The work of putting in the street cross
ings for the streets recently granted the
right of way across the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western railway, by the agree
ment between the company and the city.
is well under way.
The crossings at New Houston and Hen
~ streets are more than half completed.
BY the agreement between the city and
the railway the latter IS to build and main
tain the crossings. The work being done
by the railway company is Of a superior
character, and is highly satisfactory to
the city engineer. The work is being done
under the supervision Of Engineer Nor
ton Of the Plant system
Two plans for the crossings were sub
mitted to the city engineer. One plan is
to make the crossing at the tracks entire
ly Of heavy plank and the other to place
one heavy plank on each side of each rail
and to fill up the intervening spaces with
crushed stone. Both plans are good, and
both will be given trial Henry street
IS being planked across the tracks. while
the combined plank and stone crossing is
being put in at New Houston street At
both of these streets there is considerable
grading to be done. The company will
also change the grade of some of it's tracks
to conform to the grades Of the crossings.
A noticeable feature of the work which
Is now being done is the drainage. Heavy
A-lnch drainage pipes of the very best
material are being placed on each side of
the track, not only under the crossings.
Dut alongside the tracks for some dis
lance These pipes will last for many
years The 30-fOOt roadway which the
railway company has agreed to give the
city along both sides of its right-of-way
from Anderson street south TO ST. Nicholas
street, will also be drained in the same
manner Inc earth for filling in these
roadways will be hauled by the railway
company, but the work of grading and
constructing the street will be done by the
city. The railway company proposes to
complete all the work which 1t has con-
tracted to do by Aug l.
Inc streets TO be opened up are Gwin-
nett, Bolton, New Houston, Henry, An
derson, St. Nicholas and ST. Thomas,
Lamar and Oglethorpe avenues and Aber-
corn street Several of these streets are
partially opened already, but all will be
opened and substantial crossing provided
to a width of thirty-fve feet.
1t will be necessary for the city to pur-
chase considerable property alongside the
railway company's right of way, in order
to make these streets available. New
Houston street is inclosed on both sides
by private property, and Henry street is
little better. Negotiations are now under
necessary property to open the Street en-
trely across to the eastern limits,
