From that time to tins it has been a crowu colony under the admin istration of a governor. Fy reason of its important strategical position it is called the "key of the Mediterranean." Gibraltar has had u stormy history. In 711 the rock was taken by the Arab chief Tarik, who called it Jebel-al-Tar-ik (Hill of Tarik) ami built n fortress on the promontory. Part of these ruins is still extant. In 1309 it was taken by the Castilians, only to bo recaptured by the Moors in 1"J33. It was held by them until 1402. Following the tak ing and sacking of Gibraltar in l."40 by Barbarossa. extensive military works were built there by order of Charles V. In 1704 the promouotory "was cap tured by a combined force tinder Sir 'cerge Rooko and the Prince of Ilesse Pnrmstadr, lighting for the Archduke Charles of Austria. The moment it fell into their hands the British admiral threw off the alliance with the Aus trians and took complete possession of the works. British possession since that time lias been unbroken, although it was under a Spanish sitge for nearly three years and eight mouths, beginning in 177:'. Twice the garrison was on the point of falling because of the starvation of its defenders. Line and Staff Officers.

BURIAL AT SAN FRANCISCO Impressive Scenes Mark Occasion of Services in Texas City. Emporia, Kas., Feb. 20. General Funston's mother, Mrs. E. II. Fun ston, will leave here at 1 o'clock to morrow morning for San Francisco, where she will attend the funeral of her son. She will be accompanied by her youngest son. Relatives said tonight that the general's mother was much disappointed because efforts to bring the body of her son to Topeka had failed. Mrs. Funston, whose home is in Iola, Kas., recently has been ill. San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 120. A funeral service of military simplicity, in which regulars at Fort Sam Hous ton, national guardsmen at Camp Wilson and thousands of civilians from San Antonio joined, was held this afternoon for the late Major Gen eral Frederick Funston, commander of the southern department, whose sudden death occurreel last night from a heart atfectieut. The culminating honor paid the dead general here was the placing of his body within the Alamo, the first time that historic structure has been used for such a purpose. The only religious services hole! to day were at General Funston's ofii cial residence at Fort Sam Houston, Chanlain Barton V. Perry of the Third field artillery read the regular army burial service. "'Leael Kindly Iis' t," was played by the Nineteenth infantry band. A procession form ed at the residence after this brief service in order as follows: Police, mounted orderlies Nine teenth infantry band, Thirty-seventh infantry, Battery E. of the Seventh field artillery; Squadron A of the Alabama cavalry; Jleneral Funstm's body, carrieel on a caisson. Genera rum-dons horse, pahbearers oihccrs of General Funston's staff and of the southern department. A continual procession tiled m am; out of the building and many were unabie to gain entrance. At S o'cloc accompanied bv an honor guard of Company C, Thirty-seventh infantry the casket was taken to the Southern Pacific station, where it was placet in an observation car. In the car surroneled by flowers and with two soldiers standing at attention by the casket, the body will make the jour ney to San Francisco. Captain Fitz Hueh Lee, General Funston's aide, a sergeant and nine enlisted men wil accompany the body. The specia train consisting of the observation car and a sleeper, left the station at S:l" o'clock tonight. The route of General Funston's funeral train for more than 1,000 miles will skirt the international bolder over which the late command er kept a watchful eve for eleven months past. Some time tomorrow the train will pass the edge of the Big Bend country, later reaching the route taken by the first troops rush ed to Columbus, after the raid of last March. I lie private soldiers standing at attention beside the casket will be re lieved every two hours so that a con stant guard will be maintained until the train reaches San Francisco. At the service this alternoon not an ollicer attending was in full dress. Like the enlisted men, all wore the regular Khaki service uniform, the only distinction being the designating stars, or bars, and the side arms that the officers wore. This was done by regular officers out of consideration for officers of the national guard, many of whom had only service uni forms here. The only incident distinguishing the funeral service of the honored leader fi'om that of any army officer, came just as the chaplain finished reading the burial service at General Funs ton's residence. At that moment thir teen carmon boomed out the major general's salute. The band of the Nineteenth infantry then began play ing softly, "Lead, Kindly Light." Only once on the two-mile march from Fort Sam Houston to the Ala mo did the band play a funeral march. 'The remainder of the "way, only the solemn beat of- mufTled drums marked the progress of the long pro cession. At the Alamo perhaps the most touching incident of the funeral oc curred when Brigadier General Henry A. Greene, commander of the Twelfth provisional division at Camp Wilson stepped apart from the group THE or CONDITION The Bank of CassCounty of Flattsmouth, Nebraska. Charter No. 642.
