2. Battle of Gonzalez
On the morning of October 2, 1835, Lieutenant Castañeda requested the cannon be returned to the Mexican military-a condition on which it had been loaned to DeWitt's Colony-but the Texians pointed to the gun which stood about 200 yards to their rear, and said, "there it is-come and take it." Soon after the conflict began, at the request of the Anglo-Celtic leaders, the ladies of the settlement hastily made a flag to fly over the cannon.
…Castañeda, finding himself outnumbered and outgunned, ordered a withdrawal toward Bexar. He may also have been mindful of his orders not to participate in actions that were likely to bring about a conflict. In his report to Ugartechea, Castañeda stated that "since the orders from your Lordship were for me to withdraw without compromising the honor of Mexican arms, I did so."

5. Battle of Goliad
[Added by Urrea]: When the white flag was raised by the enemy, I ordered
their leader to be informed that I could have no other agreement than that they
should surrender at Discretion, without any other condition, and this was agreed
to by the persons stated above; the other petitions, which the subscribers of this
surrender make will not be granted. I told them this, and they agreed to it,
for I must not, nor can I, grant anything else.22
I am informed that there have been sent to you by General Urrea, two
hundred and thirty-four prisoners, taken in the action of Encinal del Perdito on the
19th and 20th of the present month; and, as the supreme government has ordered
that all foreigners taken with arms in their hands, making war upon the nation,
shall be treated as “pirates.” to devastate with fire
and sword, as has been the case in Goliad I trust that, in reply to this, you will
inform me that public vengeance has been satisfied. I transcribe the decree of the
said government for your guidance [23 March 1836, A.L. Santa Anna].32
