CONFLICT AT SAN JAcINTo
AIphonse Steele Of Lone Star State
Tells Of Battle That Won Inde-
pendence for Texas.

The celebration OF the anniversary
Of the battle of San Jacinto was an
event of special significance to Al
phonse Steele of Mexia, Texas. who is
the sole survivor of the little army of
Texans who, commanded by General
Sam Houston, met and crushed COM
pletely the overwhelming force of
Mexican soldiers upon that battlefield.
When only IT years old Steele left
Hardin county. Kentucky. where he
was born, and went down the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers in a boat to
Lake Providence. La. where he work
ed until November. 1885, when he
Joined a company Of volunteers, COM
manded by Captain Daggett and
marched to Old Washington. Texas.
1t was found on reaching that place
that Texas had not yet declared her
independence, and the company OF
soldiers disbanded Steele remained
in Washington until the Declaration
Of Independence was signed. where
upon he Immediately started for San
Antonio to join Travis and aid in de-
Tending the Alamo While on his
way he learned that the Alamo had
fallen.
In company with other patriots he
then proceeded down the Colorado
river and joined the army which Gen
eral Houston was gathering about
him. AS General Houston and his
gathering force Of patriots and ad
venturers moved onward toward the
Buffalo bayou and the San Jacintc
river, General Santa Ana and his
army followed closely, hoping to get
the Texans in a close position and
make an attack.
The Texas army found itself in 8
cornered position on April 21. 1885
and in order that 1t might be a fight
to the death the only bridge leading
across the water course over which
retreat might be made was destroyed
by order Of General Houston. Mr.
Steele gives an interesting description
of the battle of San Jacinto, which
took place on that day. He says:
AFTER dinner on April 2l Santa
Ana, who was close upon US. received
about 500 additional troops under com
mand Of General Cos. We received
orders to prepare for battle. We ad
vanced upon the Mexicans in the fol-
lowing order: Houston, with his artil.
lery, in the center; the cavalry on the
right and Colonel Sherman with his
troops on our left. The Mexicans had
thrown up breastworks out OF their
baggage about 100 yards south Of a
belt of timber, where they had sta.
toned their artillery.
Santa Ana's right wing was placed
in thick grove of timber. When we
got up pretty close General Houston
sent word to Colonel Sherman to at
tack this position. We were ordered
to move forward and hold our fire un.
til orders were given. When we got
within sixty or seventy yards we were
ordered to fire.
Then all discipline so far as Sher-
mans troops were concerned was at
an end We were all firing as rapidly
as possible and the man who first got
