ties to distinguish these from other and

covering letters or other documents Of a
nature to afford convincing proof of
innocence.
In connection with the German
statements as to British interference
with moneys in transit and the dis
tressing results to American citizens, 1t

MASSACRE OF GOL.IAD.

Tragic Episode of the Texan War For
independence.
Goliad, Tex, was the scene Of an in
famous massacre by Mexicans during
the Texan war for independence.
James D. Fannin, native of Georgia,
who had settled in Texas, had raised
company known as the Brazos volun-
teers, which formed part of General
Austin's army. After the fall Of the
Alamo he received orders from Gen
eral Sam Houston to blow up the fort
at Goliad and fall back to Victoria.
Fannin delayed his retreat for some
time in order to collect the women and
children of the neighborhood and final
ly setting out, $50 strong, was overtak-
en- and attacked on March 10, 1886, on
the banks of the Coleto creek by Cen
eral Urea and 1000 Mexican troops.
After two days battle, in which the
Mexicans lost between 800 and 400 in
killed and wounded and the Texans
about 70, Fannin surrendered on being
assured that his troops would be pa
rolled. Instead Of being freed they
were taken back to Goliad as prison
ers, and there on Palm Sunday, March
q, Urea caused these unarmed men
to be marched out by squads and shot
down like dogs. All were killed with
the exception Of the women and chill
dren, two surgeons and few men who
escaped after being fired upon.
As an excuse for his atrocious deed
Urea declared that he had acted I'M
der orders from General Santa Anna,
the Mexican commander in chief.
Afterward the rallying cry Of the Tex
as troops under General Houston was
