It he thinks this to be the be It
IL mod, the most prudent and cen
tory OF presenting the truth
these happenings that led to
termination for Mexico OF
theVfsxas campaign on banks of
the san Jacinto river. Further,
tnat Tor this phase of his memoirs
he would take the statements of tile
n most interested in having the
truth published, and also in manv
respects the one most responsible
for the disaster, Gen. Antonio Lo-
PEE de Santa Anna. Other reasons
Tor writing these statements were
TO answer certain things said by
Gen. Sam Houston, whose pride
and vanity, SO Filisola asserted, had
Claimed the glory for the surprise
OF San Jacinto, and who had pre-
tended to have done greater things
than vas possible to have done, eY-
aggerating everything. insulting tie
MexicanS without chivalry, and
contrary to the customs of iterna-
tlonal relations. Houston, the Mex.
lean claimed, by favorable circLr1-
stances rather than good leader
ship occupied his high place in the
esteem Of his people.
The document written by Santa
Anna, to which he refers was a lV-
port, or manifesto del gobiernC, of
the date Of March IL, 1887. Filiso-
Ia quotes it in full, from the time
of the departure from San AntoRIo
DO Bexar. giving full details OF MI
nor incidents, through the capture
OF Santa Anna by the Texans. I
shall not attempt to translate the
whole, as that would occupy tie
larger part Of a large book, but I
shall tell the substance Of the story
as Santa Anna sets it down in his
explanation to the people, which is
as follows:
The army in the field at this time
consisted Of three divisions: 1900
men under the command Of Gen.
Don Jose Urea, 1400 under Gen.
Don Joaquin Ramirez Y Sesma, and
TOO under Gen Don Antonio Gaona.
Any one Of these forces was aisle
to take care of the entire revolu-
tlonary army. These forces were
exclusive of Santa Annals personal
oAio VI
The journey of the army vas
more in the nature of a chase than
a campaign. On April 3 Santa
Anna reached the burned city of
Gonzales, on the Guadalupe river.
During the next five days he
secured the country between the
Guadalupe and the Brazos rivers.
On arriving at the BraZos it was
necessary to devise some means of
crossing it. While the carpenters
were busy making boats with which
to cross, Santa Annals scouts found
a beautiful Scow and two canoes
left behind by the ~retreating Tex
ans. BY means of these, Santa
Anna crossed the Brazos and was
joined by Gen. Ramirez y Sesma.
From certain Mexican coIonIsts
Santa Anna received the news that

pleaded that his men be given food
and a chance to sleep, Santa Anna
reluctantly assented.
Fatigued from passing the morn
ing on horseback. Santa Anna
wanted to rest. He told his CHIEF
of staff, Don Manuel Fernandez
Castrillon, to warn him Of any
small movement Of the enemy. At
ter eating, he retired for rest and
Immediately fell asleep, owing 70
his vigil on the night before.
He was awakened by a 1usillade
Of shots and a great shouting, to
find his troops in the widest dis
order. The enemy had surprised
the outpoSts with their full forces,
the infantry on the right, the two
cannon in the middle. and their
cavalry on the left.
The harm was already done. The
Almeda battalion under Col. Man
uel Cespedes, and the battalions
from Guerrero, Toluca and Guada-
lajara under Colonel Luelmo tried
to return the enemy, fire, but were
soon scattered, Cespedes badly
wounded and Luelmo killed. Cen
eral Castrillcn, who was running
back and forth trying to re-estab-
lish the troops, was wounded nor
tally. The raw recruits were flee
ing in all directions and soon in
volved the older troops SO that none
of them could use their arms. With
this opportunity the enemy coratin-
ued their advance with loud, dis
concerning cries and in a very few
minutes gained a greater advantage
than it was possible to imagine.
All hope was gone; for Santa
Anna, the next move to try to es-
cape. The orderly Of his aide-de-
camp, Col. Juan Bringas, helped
him to get a horse. He hunted for
his bodyguard, but was only able
to find two dragons. who said thar
all their officers and companions
had already fled and that was their
purpose also. Santa Anna reinem-
bered that General Filisola was at
Thompson's Ferry, about Is leagues
away, and resolved to join him.
Having proceeded about a league
and q half in that direction, he ar
rived at a large arroyo and found
the bridge over it had been burned.
Here he was forced to leave his
horse and wade through water up
to his chest in order to cross the
stream. After crossing, he tried to
continue on to join Filisola and re-
venge the catastrophe Of San ia
cinto. Finding some dry clothes IN
an abandoned house, he charged
them for his wet ones, which fact
he says probably saved his life, +or
had he met Texans in his own garn
he would have been recognized and
his life endangered.
Here Santa Anna leaves off the
narration Of his adventures and be-
gins to give reasons for the disaster
that overlook his army. At this
point also Filisola has left a note,
saying that the statement BY Santa
Anna concerning him was not true.
The following reasons were glgen
by Santa Anna for his failure:
II. Filisola held back the best
troops and sent the worst possible
collection of recruits to him under
the incompetent General Cos.
(Filisola states that all he had were
raw recruits, that he sent Santa
Anna the pick of them under the
best commander that he had avs ;,
able).

Criticizes His Officers

.. Gen. Don Antonio Gacna,
who had been ordered to Join tie
main army as soon as possible, had
failed to arrive. Such delay was
disastrous, for had these troops ar
rived, together with those that had
been necessary to keep the line of
communications open, the main
army would have had double Tie
strength and would have been able
to cope with even the surprise at
tack that did come. General FilIsola
failed to send sufficient ammuni-
ton to accompany those Door re-
Inducements that he did send.
3. The greatest contribution to
the above mentioned disgrace was
the conduct of General Castri:: IN
and the officers to whom the
guarding of the front toward the
enemy was intrusted. Santa Anna
states that it pains him to blame
the dead and the repentant living.
but he must speak the truth. 1t
was true that General Carlton con-
Quoted himself with extraordinary
valor in his last moments. but that
NONN 0AJ 11ldhC QD 1OI Ills IlGR-
Iect In the greater and more in
portant matters. His repentance
came rather tardily.
4. Further, though he CSanfa
Anna) was general and commander
III chief, it did not mean that he
was incapable of fatigue. He. as
would any other general, succumbad
to the necessities of nature. but
this fact did not excuse those I'M
Ger him. A commander in chief
could not attend to the duties of a
captain or a colonel; each position
had duties of its own, and it was
not the place Of the commander TO
take tins blame for the mistakes
Of those Under him.
IS. The foregoing reasons were
sufficient for anybody's failure and
if fortune had not placed this bur
den upon his shoulders, he would
have brought home new laurels
from greater victories for his coun-
try, Mexico"

Cooking for Farm Family.

The State of Idaho has a supervisor
of home economics, a woman, Dorothy
@. Ellis, who has prepared special
course OF instruction, contemplating the
demands of the average farm family
where there are many ages and tastes
to be cared for There is one group
consisting of the members of the family
which may be of any size and of all ages
and then there are farmhands to be
generously fed so that the problems of
the kitchen are likely to be serious ones
Many high school girls which came
under her notice have had experience
at home, cooking for the family and
,farmhands, but know little about the
selection Of foods necessary to an ade-
Quate diet.
In view Of these problems, the units
relating to foods in the home making
courses have been organized on the
meal basis, with special emphasis placed
.ons the planning and serving of meals.
representative family is selected for
study and menu is planned for this
family. BY planning for definite family
the problem relating to food for diff
ferent ages, for different occupations,
likes and dislikes of the family must
be considered. The foods are prepared
In fan1ily-sized quantities, the table Is
set for the size of the family under
study. and one group of girls, repre-
senting the family, sits down and eats
the food prepared
AS result Of this training they have
gained confidence in their ability to
plan, prepare and serve adequate meals:
ana they have learned to like foods
Wnlcn are necessary in well balanced
diet.
