Anua's Thousands Beseiged a Tezas Ha-dful A DESPERATE STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY The Long Te Ight that Ended In the Staughter of Chptain Traviy, Davy Crockett,Cotonel Bowleand Every Man of Their Compantons, e San Antonio is the oldest of Texas cities, and historical and picturesque show places which in any other country but our own would be vis- ited by innumerable American tourists prepared to fall dosyn and worship, writes Richard Harding Davis in Har- rer’s weckly, The Alamd is to the southwest what Independence hill is to the Unitea Stat and Bunker Hill to the Basty but the pride of it belongs to every Amorican, whether ho lives in Texas or in Maine. The battle of the Alamo v the event of the greatest moment in the war between Mexico and the Texans, when Santa An was prasident, and the Texans were fighting for theiv independence. And the stone build to which the Mexieans laid siege, and in which the battlo was fought, stands today facing a plaza in the center of Sun Antonio. There are hideous wooden structures around it, and others not so hideous modern hotels and the new postotiice, on which the mortar is hardly yetdry. But inspite of theso the grace and dignity tho monks gave it in 1774 vaise it above these modern efforts that tower above it and dwarf them. On the 23d of February, 1826, General f, with 4,000 Mexican , marched into the town of San Antonio. In the old mission of thoe Alamo were the town’s only defenders, 145 men, under Caplain Tra L young man 28 years old. With him_ were Davy Crockett, who had crossed over from his own stato to help those who were freeing thel and Colonel Bovrie (who guve his name to a knife, which name our government gave later to a fort), who was wounded and Iying on a cot. Their fortress and quarters and magn- zine was the mission, their artiilory, fourteen mounted picees, but there was possosses N littlo ammunition. Santa Anna de- manded unconditional surrender, and the answar was ten days of dogged de- fens, and skivmishes by day and sorties for food und water by night. The Me. icans lost heavily during the first days of the sicge, but not one inside of the Alamo was isilled. Barly in the week Travis had dizpatched couriers for help, and the defenders of the wission w living in the hope of re-enforcements, but four days passed and neither cour- iers returned nor re-enforcements came. On the fourth day Colonel Fannin with 300 men and four pieces of artille: started forth from Goliad, but put back again for want of food and luck of teams. The garrison of the Alamo never knew of this. On the Ist of March Captain John W. Smith, who has found teams, and who has found rations, brings an of- fering of thirty-two men from Gonzales, and leads thém safely into the fort. They have come Wwith forced marches to their o'vn graves; but neither do they know that, and the garrison, now 172 strong, against 4,000 Mexicans,continues its desperate sorties and its desperate defense. On the 81 of March, 1836, there was a cessation in the bombardment, and Cap- tain Travis drew his men up into single rank und takes his place in front of them. He tells them that he has deceived them with hopes of reinforcements, false hopes based on false promises of help from the outside, but he does not blame those who failed him, he makes excuses for them, they have tried to reach him, nodoubt, but have been killed on the way. Sidney Lanier quotes this excusing of those who had deserted him at the very threshold of death as best showing the fineness of Travis, and the voet who hus judged the soldicr so truly has touched here one ot the strongest points of this story of great he:oism, n Travis telis them that all that to them is the choice of their nd that they huve but to decide in which manner of dying they will best serve their country can surren- der and be shot down mercilessly, they can malke a sortie and be butchered b fore they have gained twenty yards, or chey can die fighting to the’ last, and killing their enemies until that last comes. He gave them their choice, and then stooping, draws a line with the print of his sword in the ground from the left to the right of tho rank. **And, now,” he ever n vho is determined to remain here and to die with me will come to me across that line,” Tapley Holland was the fist to cross. He jumped it with a bound, as though it were a Rubicon, I am ready to die for my country,” he said, And then but one man, named Rose, marched over to the other side. Colonel Bowle, lying wounded in his cot, raised himself on his elbow. *Boys,” he said, don’t leave me. Won’t some of you carry me neross?” And those of the sick who could walk rose from the bunks and tottered across the line; and those who could not walk were ourried. Rose, who could speak Spanish, trusted to this chance to es- cape, and scaling the wall of the Alamo, dropped into g, ditch on the other side, and crawled, hidden h{ the cactus, into a place of safety, Through him we know w. happencd before that final day came, He aad his reward. Threo days after this, on the morning of the Gth “6f March, Sunta Anna brought forwapd all of his infantry, sun- ported by his gayalry, and stormed the fortress. Thotiikntry cume up on every side nt once long black solid row bearing the sfa¥ing lndders bofore them, aud encournged by the press of great numbers about them, But the buid lnside the mission drove them back, angd those who held the lad ders dropped Yem on the ground and ran against the bayonets of their com- rad A second time they charged into the line of pullets, and & sccond time they fell back,Teaving as many deud at the foot of the ladders us there were standing st bay within the walls, But at the third trial the ladders ave plant- ed, and Mexicans after Mexicans scale them and jump down into the pit inside, hundreds and hundreds of them to he met with bullets and then with bayonet thrusts, and at lust with desperate swinging of the butt, until the little band grows smaller and weaker and is driven up and about and beaten down and stamped benenth the weight of overwhelming and unending numbers. They die fighting on their kuoet, hacking up desporutely as thoy are beaten and pinned down by a dozen bayonets, Bowie leaning on his eibow and ¥hooting from his cot, Crock- ettfighting like o panther in the angle of the church wall, and Travis with h's back against the wall to the west. The 72 men wio had held 4,000 men at bay for two sleepless weeks ure swept awa 2s & dam goes thet has held back u Lood, \TURDAY, APRIL 2, 1892, and the Mexicans open the church doors from the inside andlet in their comrades and the sunshine that shows them horvid heaps of 522 dead Mexicans and 5.0 more wounded. There are no wounded among tho Tex- ang; of the 172 who were in the Alamo | there are 172 dead. With an example like this to follow it was not difficult to gain the independ- | ence of Texas, and whenever m Houston rode before his men erying, “Remembor the Alamo!™ the battle was already half won, Tt waus not a cry wholly of revonge, I lile to think. It was rather the hoiding up of tho cross to tho crusaders, and crying: “By this sign we conquer.” It was a watchword to remind men of those who had suffored and died that their cause might live, et GAVE UP A HUSBAND FOR A WOMAN A ftemarkable Case of Infatuation of One Woman for Another. A most singular story has just come to light at Richmond by the sepacation of Charles Worral and his wife because of the strango infatuation of the wife for her sister-in-law, Mrs, Mactin Worral, a widow. The love that the women have for ench other is like the love of Alico Mitchell for Freda Ward, and seems to be strong and uncontrollable on the part of one or the other. Mrs. Charles Worrall isa woman of edueition and refinemnat. She is the duughter of James L. Pierce, a pro- minent merchant of Willinmsburg. She at one time held o position in an Ohio college, and some time since w a teacher of penmanship in Earlham college, Indianapolis. Hor sister-in-law with whom she beewme infatuated, isth widow of her husband’s brother, who has been dead three vears, Sne until recently held a position of booickeeper and typewriter in the office of the Swan ‘turing company of Richmond. Kighteen months ago this love-like in- timacy between the wife and sister-in- aw began, and since then their conduct toward each other has been preciscly the samo as the billing and cooing of the most ardent lovers of the opposite 5 They could not bear to be separit- ed and they would embrace and kiss and give the greatest de monstration of the unatural love they felt for each other. The husband’s remonstrances were in vain und only served to inten sify his wife against him, until finally his wife, rather than be separated fiom the widow, decided toleave hor husband, and the widow threw up her position to £0 with the woman she so strangely loves, The husband and wife made an amicuble division of their proporty, and o few weeks since the wife visited her parents at Willinmsburg, but she could not be happy and contented nway the widow, and o few days sinc left together and went to Lorai where they now are. Leading physiciuns who are acquaint- ed with the fucts say that the love of the two women is precisely the same as that felt by Alice Mitche!l for Miss Ireda Ward. The ladies are each 26 years old and prepossessing in looks and manners and above the average in point of intelligence. Physicigns say that to Manufacturers” an AWNINGS OMAHA TENT & AWN.
