REMEMBER THE ALAMO"
A war cry that closely resembles
Remember the Maine" was that which
General Sam Houston gave to his
troops at the battle of San Jacinto-the
battle which gave freedom and indie
pendence to Texas. Colonel Travis was
in command of about 1875 Texan soldiers
in the fort called the Alamo at BeXar.
There he was surrounded by a greatly
superior force under the Mexican die
tator, Santa Anna
On the morning of the 9th of March,
1886, the little garrison of the Alamo
capitulated, on the pledge of the Mexi-
can general that their lives would be
SHARED. Notwithstanding this pledge
Colonel Travis and his entire force
were n1assacred as soon as they had
surrendered. Their dead bodies were
gathered together, a huge pile of wood
was heaped upon them, and they were
burned to ashes. This fearful act of
barbarity stirred the Texans to intense
wrath, and implanted in their breasts
fierce thirst for vengeance. On April
10, 1856. General Houston, with about
700 men, gave battle at San Jacinto to
Santa Anna. with nearly three times
the number of Mexicans, and. in spite
of the disparity of numbers, Houston's
little force swept the MeXicans like
chaff before the wind. 1t was more
slaughter than a. battle.
Just before the assault of the Texans
was made on the army Of Santa Anna,
Houston addressed his soldiers in a fer
vid speech, closing with these 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 repeat
ed the words "the Alamo" until the

GAGE IN NEW YORK.
He Meets Bankers and Discusses Bond
Issue, Etc.

11G Mucous IDdukefS ana discusses BOND
Issue, Etc.
NEW YORK, April 28.-Secretary of
the Treasury Gage has been in this city.
He was in conference with Assistant
Treasurer Jordan, l. N. Seligman, Jas.
Speyer and other leading financiers.
The secretary refused to talk as to the
purpose Of the conference. The World,
however, reports Mr.. Gage as saying
that it is probable that the government
will offer $100,000,000 in bonds within
the next 30 days.
Later a conference was held in the
sub treasury between Secretary Gage
and John A. Stewart, president of the
United Trust company; Charles S. Fair
child, president of the New York Secur-
ity and Trust company; President Tap
pen of the Gallatin National bank; Poor
of the Park National, Baker of the First
National, Simmons of the Fourth Ma
tional, Cannon of the Chase National,
Woodward of the Hanover National
banks; Plyny Fiske of Harvey Fishes
Sons; August Belmont, Charles H. Cos
ter and Robert A. Bacon, representing
j. P Morgan g Co.
One of the subjects to be discussed, it
was reported, was the legal tender stu
alton, which is not strong at this time.
The sub-treasury has only $4,000 or
$4,000 in legal tenders and they are
not directly available for transfer pur-
poses. Bankers here hold only $43, 0OO,-
900 legal tenders, as their western cor
respondents have reduced their accounts
here to have their available cash in their
own vaults This condition will make
it exceedingly hard for banks to take
any large amount of bonds without
using their specie, which, it is said, they
are not altogether disposed to do.

THE HOUSE DEBATING
WAR REVENUE BILL.
Vote to Be Taken at 4 O'clock Tomorrow
Afternoon-signal Absence of Par
tisan Rancor In Debate.

tisan Rancor In Debate.
WASHINGTON, April 28.-The general
debate upon the measure framed by the
ways and means committee to neeet the
extraordinary expenditures of tL war
with Spain is proceeding in the house
today. 1t win continue through to-
morrow, and at o'clock the vote will
be taken. There was signal absence
of the partisan rancor which has always
heretofore characterized debates on
revenue measures. Both sides, speak
ing through their respective leaders,
Messrs. Dingley and Bailey, concurred
in the necessity which existed for inn
mediate raising of hundreds of millions
to prosecute the war, but the opposing
doctrines which they had clashed on the
first account over the methods by which
the revenue should be raised. The sec
ton providing for $500, 10000 of bonds
became the target OF the Democratic
and Populistic opposition, and Mr..
Bailey in an hours speech argued for
an income tax which would raise $780,
100000 year, the coinage of Ethe silver
selgn1orage and the issue Of $58 900, 600
OF legal tender notes as an alternative
proposition. Mr.. Dingley declared that
it was almost incredible that any one
could seriously propose in such crisis
that the government should rely for
funds upon the proceeds of another law
suit over, a proposition which the SUI
preme court had already decided against
the government.
Mr.. Sayres Tex. J, the ranking mem
Der OF the appropriations committee,
devoted his time to an argument to
demonstrate that the money to be raised
by the bill was excessive and would
breed reckless profigacy. The expenses
of the Civil war, in 1864, when the gov
eminent maintained 100000 in the
field and had four times as many ships
as it had today, were only 81, 100, 900.
In view of that fact, he commended, that
to raise $690,000,000 to carry on a war,
insignificant in comparison, must re-
suit in useless waste and extravaganza.
The Populists all vigorously opposed the
bond proposition. Mr.. Dolliver ia. J,
in by far the most notable speech of the
day, added to his reputation as bril-
liant orator. He assaulted the position
of the opposition in the early portion of
his speech, but its partisan flavor disap-
peared toward the close, and he aroused
the house and galleries to cheers, as,
with eloquent words, he touched the
high, unseltish cause of humanity in
which the United States had drawn the
sword, and then melted his audience to
tears as he referred to the blowing up
of the Maine and the new common
wealth we would rear as a monument
to guard the memory of the unforgotten
dead.

charge of drunkenness. Van Gordon
had passed q most miserable night in
the cell but with a generous supply OF
money about his person he could not
pay his fine and Compton with"quick
change" from the role of prosecutor to
that of Good Samaritan quickly depos-
tied the money and Van Gordon went
free. The prosecutor paid the costs.
