fire of men who had learned to waste
no ammunition On the 9Th of
March 1886, Santa Anna, knowing
that the ammunition of the Texans
was nearly exhausted, prepared for
the final assault. He had 4 900 pick
ed men, the flower of the Mexican
army. OF that battle no Texan was
left to tell the story. Thermopylae
had its survivor to tell the tale, but
of the defenders of the Alamo there
remained no man who could tell of
the last hours of that heroic defense,
Don Francisco Ruiz, mayor of San
Antonio, tells the story.
"On the 9Th of March, 1886, at 8
a. M, General Santa Anna at the
head Of 1000 men advanced against
the Alamo. The Mexican army
charged twice and was twice repused
by the deadly fire of Travis artillery
which resembled constant thunder.
At the third charge the Toluca bat
talon commenced to scale the walls
and suffered severely Out of $50
men only 13O were left alive"
Then follows the tale of the last
heroic stand, and the Mexicans only
had possession when the last Texan
had given his life to lay the founda-
tion of freedom in the Lone Star Re
public.
Santa Anna ordered that wood be
brought and all the defenders of the
Alamo were cast upon the pile and
their bodies burned 1t is supposed
that they were burned in the court
of the old convent, and as that is
owned by the state of Texas we may
well believe that their ashes will be
safely guarded that they may tell to
the coming generations what it cost
to give them the beauty of liberty,
culture and progress in place of the
ashes of desolaton that today cover
the land of Santa Anna, "the Napol-
con of Mexico" Santa Annals loss
