Col. Travis was in command of about
1S5 Texan soldiers in the fort called the
Alamo at BeXar. There he was sur
rounded by a greatly superior force I'M
der the Mexican dictator, Santa Anna.
On the morning of the 9th of March.
1886. the little garrison OF the Alamo
c~apitulated. on the pledge Of the Mexi-
can general that their lives would be
spared. Notwithstanding this pledge
Col. Travis and his entire force were
mastered as soon as they had surren-
dered. Their dead bodies were gath
cred together, a huge pile Of wood was
heaped upon them. and they were
burned to ashes. This fearful act Of
b~arbarity stirred the Texans to intense
wrath and implanted in their breasts
n fierce thirst for vengeance. On April
10. 1896. Gen. Houston. with about 700
men, gave battle at San Jacinto to San
ia Anna, with nearly three times the
number of Mexicans. and. in spite of
the disparity Of numbers, Houston's lit
tie force swept the Mexicans like chaff
before the wind. 1t was more a slaugh.
ter than a battle.
Just before the assault OF the Texan,
was made on the army of Santa Anna
Houston addressed his soldiers in a
fervid speech, closing with the words,
Remember the Alamo!" These words
fell upon the ears OF the Texans with
wonderful effect. Every soldier in the
little army at the same instant
repeated the words 'the Alamo" until
they became a shrek for revenge that
struck terror to the souls OF the Mexi-
cans. When the battle was over 1t was
found that only seventy Texans had
been killed. while $50 Mexicans were
left dead on the field.
Remember the Alamo!" was evil
IDENTIFY a battle cry that o only nerved

BELIEVE CERvERA ESCAPED.
General Public Still Ignorant of the Fate
of Spanish Ships.

Madrid, July 6.-The general public Of
the Spanish capital at this hour still
believes Admiral Cervera and his
squadron have escaped from Santiago
de Cuba, thanks to the official dis
patches given out by the government
and the interviews granted by the min
listers. A dispatch from Captain Gen.
eral Blanco says: "Cervera's squadron,
at IL o'clock on Sunday night, broke
the center of the line of the American
fleet and proceeded at full steam in a
westerly direction"
The Spanish minister for war, Senior
Aunon, is quoted in an interview as
saying: Il am highly pleased with the
feat of arms performed by Admiral
Cervera's squadron, which left Santi-
ago the moment Admiral Cervera
Judged it opportune to do So"
After eulogizing the Spanish admiral,
the minister of marine added: THE
squadron could only leave the harbor
at given moment, and when the mo-
ment arrived Admiral Cervera seized it,
] have never doubted he would do so.
But, of course, 1t is difficult to foresee
the result.

COMMENT OF BRITISH PAPERS.
Spain Advised to Accept the Inevitable
and End the War.


London, July Gall the papers COM
ment on the sudden and dramatic trans
formation resulting from Admiral Ger
vera's mysterious and suicidal ma
neuvers, which various theories are ad
vanced to explain. All eulogize the brav-
cry displayed on both sides and strong
ly counsel Spain to accept the inevita-
bic and sue for peace, which would en-
tail no dishonor.
The Daily Graphic says: IF Senior
Sagasta elects TO risk further disasters
for fear of the frothy LIMOGES in Madrid
he will incur a terrible responsibility.
The Spanish flag has been borne with
undying glory in the face of tremendous
odds and the punctilios of honor have
been generously satisfied"
The Daily News tenders similar adj
vice. 1t says: THE Spaniards can
fight and die. So can the Americans.
Ambassador Hay, in his glowing and
eloquent speech, glorified in this
thought; but TO their equal courage
Americans add in this unequal combat
with Spain not only vastly superior ma
terial resources but a devising mind
and a skilled organization without
which bravery is nothing but a means
Of providing stuff for the SHAMELESS"
The Daily Telegraph comments upon
the way in which the American COM
manders at Santiago, and probably at
Manila also. have fulfilled their predic-
tons for the Fourth of July. 1t says:
THE Americans rushed San Juan in a
manner displaying the immense viril-
ity of American manhood. Unfitness
upon the part of the American officers
to conduct military operations and un-
flinching personal bravery upon the part
of both officers and men were. in the
educated judgment of our special corre-
spondent the characteristics Of the des-
perate fight of Friday and Saturday.
THE prospects of European interview
ton on behalf of Spain have vanished,
and the significant determination of
Englishmen and Americans on Inde-
pendence day in the United States and
London may well give cause to those
continental statesmen who are credited
with a design to dictate to America the
terms of peace"

while working in the hot sun have

there is a statement that many bodies

Spanish wounded were removed TO the
American ships. There can be no doubt
that Admiral Cervera's plan To escape
from Santiago harbor was entirely UNI

best evidence of this is the fact that
when the Spanish vessels were seen
