The Fiftieth Anniversary of That
A Complete List .f the Garrison Travis'
Last Address, and Other In
teresting Data.
The fall of the Alamo has but one peer
in the brilliancy of its glory. Ther
mopylae and Alamo are side by side on
the Imperishable tablets of history; the
names of Leonidas and Travis are syn
onlmous for heroism. The modern altar
of liberty almost casts its sacred shadows
upon the majority of the readers of the
Light. It is, therefore, the purpose, not
so much to give history as to recall and
keep green the memory of the patriots
who died to give us one of the fairest
lands the sun ever shone on. and a free
and liberal government under which to
enjoy it. Fifty years ago. a half
a century to-day, have passed since that
awful sacrifice was made. Few men are
now alive who then took part in that
almost hopeless struggle against the per
fidious and bloody tyrant of Mexico.
General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anan,
and they are old and deorepid. None of
the defenders of the Alamo escaped.
The most interesting and concise ac
count Is that of Francisco Antonio Ruiz,
published in the Texas Almanac for 1860.
Kutz was then the Alcalde of this city.
••On the 23 of February, 1830, at 2 p.
m. General Santa Anna entered the eUy
of San Antonio with a part of his army.
This he effected without any resistance,
the forces under command’ of Travis,
Bowie and Crockett, having on the same
day, at 8 o’clock in the morning, learned
that the Mexican Army was on the banks
of the Medina river, they concentrated
in the Alamo.
‘•ln the evening they commenced to
exchange tire with guns, and from the
23rd of February to the Oth of March, (in
which the storming was made bv Santa
Anna) the roar of artillery ami volleys
of musketry were constantly heard.
••On the 6th of March, at 3 p. m.. Gen
eral Santa Anna, at the bead of4ooo men
advanced against the Alamo. The in
fantry, artillery and cavalry had formed
about 1000 varas from the walls of said
fortress. The Mexican Army charged
and were twice repulsed by the deadly
tire of Travis’ artillery, which resem
bled a constant thunder. At the third
charge the Toluca battalion commenced
to scale the walls and guttered severely.
Out 800 men, 130 only were left alive.
•‘When the Mexican Army had suc
ceeded in entering the walls, 1 with
Political Chief, (Jefe Politico) Hon
Hamon Murquiz. and other members of
the corporation, accompanied the curate,
Don Refugio de la Garza, who, by Santa
Anna's orders, had ass-mbled during the
night at a temporary fortification erect
ed in I’ortrero street, with the object of
attending the wounded, etc. As soon
as the storming commenced, we crossed
the bridge on Commerce sireet with this
object in view, and about 100 yards from
the same a party of Mexican dragoons
tired upon us and compelled us to fall
back on the river and place occupied Be
fore. Half an hour had elapsed
when Santa Anna sent one of
his aid-da-camps with and order
for us to come before him. He directed
me to call on some of the neighbors to
come up with carts to carry the dead to
the cemetery, and also to accompany
bim. as he was desirous to have Colonels
Travis, Bowie and Crockett shown to
him.
••On the north battery of the fortress
lay the lifeless body or Colonel Travis
on the gun carriage, shot only in the
forehead. Toward the west and Ln the
small fort opposite the city we found
the body of Colonel Crockett. Colonel
Bowie was found dead in bls bed in one
of the rooms of the south side.
‘•Santa Anna, after the Mexicans
were taken out, ordered wond to be
brought to burn tbe bodies of the Tex
ans. He sent a company of dragoons
with me to bring wood and dry branches
from tbe neighboring forest. About 3
o’clock in the afternoon of the next day
they commenced laying the wood anil
dry’branches, upon which a file of dead
bodies were placed ; more wood wag
piled on them, and another tile brought,
nad in this manner they were all ar
ranged in layers. Kindling wood was
distributed through the pile, and at 5
o'clock it was lighted.
•‘The dead Mexicans of Santa Anna's
army were taken to the graveyard, but
not having sufficient room for them. I
ordered some of them to be thrown in
the river, which was done on tbe same
day. Santa Anna’s loss was estimated
at 1600 men. These were the flower of
his army.
“The gallantry of the few Texans who
defended the Alamo was really won
dered at by ti e Mexican army. Even
the Generals were astonished at their
vigorous resistance, and how dearly the
victory had been bought. The Generals
who, under Santa Anna, participated in
the storming of the Alamo, were Juan
Amador. Castrilion, Ramirez. Sesma and
Andrade.
“The men burned numbered 182. I
was an eye witness, for as Alcalde of
San Antonio. 1 was with some of tbe
neighbors collecting tbe dead bodies
and placing them on the funeral pyre.
Signed “Francisco Antonio Buz.
“P. S.—My father was Don Francisco
Buiz, a member of the Texas Conven
tioi. He signed the Declaration of In
dependence on the 2nd of March, 1836.

On February 24 Colonel Travis issued
this stirring appeal, which was sent by
a trusty messenger through the Mexican
lines:
“Co.MMANDANCY OF THIS AI.AMO, I
Bkxar, February 24, 1836. (
"To the People of Texas aud All the Ameri-
cans iu the World:
"Fellow-citizens anti Compatriots -1 am
besieged by a thousand or more Mexi
cans under Santa Anna. 1 have «us
sained a continual bombardment ami
cannonade for 24 hours, and I have not
yet lost a man. The enemy have de
manded a surrender at discretion, other
wise tbe ‘garrison is to be put to tbe
sword if tbe fort is taken.’ 1 have an
swered the summons with cannon-shot,
and our flag still waves proudly from tbe
walls. 1 shall never surrender or re
treat. Then 1 call upon you in tbe
name ot liberty, patriotism and every
thing dear to the American character to
come to our aid with dispatch, the en
emy are receiving reinforcements daily
and will doubtless, in a few days,
increase to 3000 or4”00. Though this call
may be neglected, 1 tun determined to
sustain myself as long as possible, and
die like a soldier who never forfeits what
is due to his own honor, and that of bis
• country. Victory or death !
“n. Barrett Travis,
“Lieutenant-Colonel Commanding.’’
And it was death and victory I The
defenders of the Alamo knew nothing of
the signing of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, signed by their compatriots
in convention assembled in San Felipe
on March 2, eight days after they were
desieged and three before they were
massacred. They fought for tbe Mexi
can Constitution of 1824, and against the
usurpation of Santa Anna as Dictator,
and their flag flying from the top of
the Alamo was the red. white and green,
with tbe figures “1824" on the white in
the center.
Ph<enix-like from their ashes rose the
great and glorious Southwestern Em
pire—Texas. Its beginning was glo
rious and heroic; let its future be grand
and noble.
The Strike Ended,
Naw York, March s.—Police Superin
tendent Murray bus received intelligence
that the committee which met to con
sider the strike trouble has adjourned,
and that matters have been adjusted so
that tbe men will resume work at 2
o'clock this afternoon oc all lines in this
city and Brooklyn.
Commissioner O’Donnell, after con
sultation with the executive committee,
took a cab and went to Brooklyn, where
be met President Richardson at the
office of tbe Atlantic Avenue line, to
gether with the directors. Propositions
were submitted to the commission con
taining tbe following resolution, and
directed to Jos. O'Donnell, chairman of
the Executive Committee of the Empire
Mutual Protective Association:
Resolved. That the Atlantic Avenue
railroad of Brooklyn will agree to pay a
rate of $2 per day for 12 hours as a day's
work for conductors and drivers, includ
ing a half hour allowed for dinner, and
after our cars are running to submit
all questions of difference between em
ployes to Commissioner O'Donnell. It
is agreed that the Dry Dock, East Broad
way and Battery lines will be included
in the same agreemer t as the Atlantic
road in Brooklyn. [Signed]
W. J. Richardson, President.
On receiving the document, Commis
sioner O’Donnell at once returned to
New York and went to the Central La
bor Union Hall, on East Eighth street,
where the Executive Committee was
In session. He submitted the proposi
tion to them, and it was accepted
promptly. Delegates from the different
roads started at once to notify the men
to be ready to start tbe cars at 2 p. m.
Joseph O’Donnell said to a reporter:
“All the surface roads will start at 2 p.
m. The prop'sition from Richardson
has been accepted. Commissioner
O’Donnell will be arbitrator and we ap
prove the choice. It is a great victory
for us.”
Acquitted.
New York, March s.—The trial of
James T. Holland, for killing Davis, the
confidence man, was resumed this morn
ing, and the entire day was consumed
in bearing argument. When General
Pryor concluded a telling address in be
half of the prisoner, ths crowd in the
court-room fairly made the building
tremble with stamping of feet and clap
ping of hands. The case went to the
jury at 7:30, and It was after 9 o'clock
when the Judge returned to the court
room and received tho jury's verdict of
“not guilty.” Holland grasped the
band of each juryman with warmth and,
after receiving an ovation of the people
present, walked out a free man. He
will return to Texas in a few days. The
jury agreed to a verdict of acquittal
within 10 minutes after retiring.
Raid tn a Round-House.
New Orleans, March s.—Governor
Sheldon this afternoon received a dis
patch from Governor Brown, from Dal
las, Tex., notifying bim that to-night
about 100 masked men again raided the
round-house at Big Springs and disabled
several engines, removing from them
portions ot machinery, which they se
creted; that all offices west of the Colo
rado have been discontinued. B. Wheel
er, manager of the New Orleans divi
sion, states that the company is now en
ploying skilled mechanies to go to Mar
shall for the purpose of obtaining a suf
flclent number of men to keep the engines
in repair. He further says there has
been no dissatisfaction expressed by em
ployees of his division, and no trouble is
apprehended on this end of tbe road.
Fear no Delay.
Sr. Louis, March s.—The Missouri Pa
cific Railway Company this morning re
scinded its order issued recently, declin
ing to contract for transportation of per
ishable property and live stock. This
action, it is said, has been taken because
the company fears no delay to its trains
•r accident to its property on account of
the Knights of Labor strike in Texas.
This order, however, does not affect tbe
Texas and Pacific Railroad.
