DEATH OF A PIONEER.
Jose Paclleco Had Lived Nearly
Eighty Years in This
Vicinity.

Don Jose Pacheco. an old
Me xican who had almost reash-
ed his e!ghtieth year, and lived
all his life time in the yicity of
the Second Mission. San Jose
as it is called. died near that
mission Thursday morning. The
deceased was well known 10 the
city and had seen in its various
stages of development.
Pacheco was che of the few
men survivors of the famous
"Cart War" of 1854 He was
a member of the party which
was suddenly attacked one
night while encamprd on the
plains of Victoria county dur
ing which fight a half dozen
men were killed and many more
injured. The attacking party
are said 10 have been American
and German ,teamsters. They
fell upon the camp and com
pletely routed the Mexican
transfers, cut the wheels off
their carts and drove off their
oxen.
The terrible feud between
The Mexican and other freight
ers grew ont of lively COM
between them for the
freight traffic between the coast
and the inland points. At that
time Port Lavaca and Indianola
We're the only sea ports on. the
Texas coast, and all Of the
freight inland had to be taken
in carts or wagons.
The Mexicans, with their cheap
mode Of living and OK cart
transportation, could easily un
ierbid the other freighters, and
fhus a deadly eHusty sprung
I'D between The two classes of
teamsters. After the bloody
light on the Victoria plains in
which Pacheco was a parlici
pant, Gov. Pcase, then Govern
Dr of the State, came TO San
Antonio, and after investigating
he matter, went TO the scene Of
roubIe with troop of rangers
and put an end 10 the famous
Cart War" Since that time
Pacheco has peacefully resi- led
II the Mission San Jose.

The Insurgents Wounded Eigh

New York. an. 3-A dis
patch to the Herald from IIa-
vana says: General Weyler

in the field. He may have even
been astounded by the brillian
cy of the fash of the insurgent
steel before his very eyes.
At all events, eighteen OF
his special escorts of guides,

field, have arrived here Sc :

died. From their accounts it
is clear that early on Tuesday
morning the rebels under Aran
gurin and Arrange made a
startlingly bold and dashing
attempt to capture the captain
general. which was nearly
crowded with success.
General Weyler, who was
marching surrounded by the
column of Colonel Seguara, en-
tered the village of Quatro
Camiros on Monday afternoon.
The order was at once given
that all the inhabitants should
leave their homes within two
hours. The village being de-.
serted, the torch was applied
and all the houses, about 900
in number, were destroyed.
The captain general then
proceeded towards Gopaste.

to Cuines. Gopaste was reach

of guides was sent forth to re

with the main Spanish column
under Colonel Seguara, halted
some distance outside of the
village.
The insurgents, at the orders
of their leaders. Arangurin and
arrange. had concealed them
selves in the houses of the
town. Their plans were evi-
well laid, and it is quite
probable that they might have
succeeded in capturing the de-
sired prize, the Spanish com
mander himself. And in any
