The Alamo, encircled Sunday by a fence, was built around 1718 by Franciscan fathers. It became a bat tleground in 1836 when Mexican general and President Antonio Lo pez de Santa Anna rode north with thousands of troops to squelch a brewing revolution in Texas, which was part of Mexico. Santa Anna prevailed in an 18- day battle that killed the Alamo’s 189 defenders, including William Travis, James Bowie and Davy Crockett. A month later, Santa Anna was defeated by Sam Houston in south east Texas. Texas eventually became a republic and “Remember the Alamo” became a familiar battle cry. The Daughters of the Texas Re public now operate the Alamo, which is in the heart of a downtown area that is marked by stores and businesses that have taken its name. Many of those stores displayed signs Sunday that said, “Welcome Pope John Paul II.” •"Mexicans brave new insurance rule for visit .VAiYTEI erprisi SAN ANTONIO (AP) — While thousands of Mexicans who were expected to see Pope John Paul II stayed behind, at least a few thousand camped out early at the site of the outdoor Mass. ^speranza Aquirre Garcia made the eight- hour trip from Gustavos Diaz Ordas, Tamauli- pas, with six friends Saturday afternoon. £• . i , didn’t see him in Mexico, my children did, so now it’s my chance to see him,” said the 70- year-old woman, referring to the pope’s 1979 visit to northern Mexico.

About 1,500 members of a youth group from Monterrey also were in attendance Sunday. “We wanted to come in a bus, but the cars were just fine.
