! The history and tradition of the islands
and the associations that no resident
here wants forgotten, will go on in un-
broken union with the name; the form
of government will be modelled on that
of existing territories. There will be no
more further departures from this form
than local conditions and national po-
litical considerations make necessary
1t is possible that in working out the
details the form of government win not

SAW THE BATTLE OF THE ALAMO
a Woman Who Was An Eyewitness
of the Massacre.

Old Nine. Candellario says that she
has heard and read a hundred different
descriptions Of the battle of the Alamo,
and that not one is correct. Although
she is now in her 10th year, her health
is good. and her mind is perfectly
clear as to events that transpired in
the early part of the century. Her
great age and the conspicuous and he
roic part that she enacted during the
famous siege of the Alamo are matters
that are well authenticated beyond the
question of doubt A few years ago,
says the st. Louis Republic, the Texas
legislature appointed a committee to
wait upon this very remarkable wo-
man and investigate all the facts con-
nected with her claims upon the graf
itude of the state. After examining
many witnesses, and looking over the
records preserved in the old missions,
they reported that no doubt could ex-
list as to the fact that Nine. Candellario
was inside of the walls of the Alamo
engaged in nursing Colonel James
Bowie at the time the battle was
fought, and further declared that they
believed she was born in the year A.
