Escandon, José-Continued. to Santa Dorotéa,' showing that he then knew of this removal. And a testimonio of this application is in the proceedings or expediente of the title among the ancient Spanish archives of Laredo, Texas." Also from an article by Zachary T. Fulmore, entitled The annexation of Texas and the Mexican war, in the same journal for july, 1901: "When José de Escandon, a military subaltern at Querétaro, was commissioned to subjugate, settle, and organize the Tamaulipas region, the extent of his operations north confined him to a distance which took him to the Rio Grande. When he reached that point he stopped, but permitted Basterra, one of his captains, to go on to the Nueces. This officer went as far east as the Guadalupe river to the old mission, La Bahía del Espíritu Santo. He dismantled this mission and re-established it at Santa Dorotea (Goliad), on the San Antonio river. Accompanying his official report was a map, entitled 'Colonia de Nuevo Santander,' with that river as the eastern bounds of his province. From this circumstance the San Antonio river was regarded as the boundary notwithstanding the fact that San Antonio, further up the river, was and had been the capital of Texas since 1715. This continued to be regarded as the boundary until the Nueces was put down upon the maps as such, it is said, about the year 1805."
