(Signed) GEO. WKINLEY.
Head-quarters at Santiago, 3lay 13.
Santiago is in our possession :—the enemy, con.
misting of 3000 infantry, with 14 pieces of amid. I
Ivry, and 300 horse, came out to meet us, and
attacked us on our march in the plain called De la
Estrella. Our scouts haviog fallen in with their
vultigeurs, and exchanged some king, brought
me the information, and I ordered the divisiois to
fora in the best position that could be taken. Tbe
enemy attacked with vigour, but were unable to
gain the smallest advantage. Our artillery was m
gond as theirs was bad, not a man being wounded
on our side by a cannon-ball. After an hour's
firing we became impatient of suffering it, and I
ordered Don Pablo Murillo to charge them on
their right flank, whilst I advanced is front with
the three other columns. The enemy twice took
up positions, and were as often dislodged. The
wit:vs:sums of the groused favoured their escape,
in effecting which they shamefully blew up two
ammunition chests ; two others, with two of
clothing, upwards of GOO mu•kelv, and some
horses, and other articles, which I have not yet
examioed, fell into our handi. Alusillo entered
the city, and pursued the enemy through the
streets to the distance of more that* a league from
hence. lam nut yet informed of the number of
slain, nor of that of the prisoners, of whom
there are many. Their General, Maquian, has
been severely wonnded by two musket-shots ;
the second in command was killed in the field,
whose insignia have been brought me by the sol-
diers. Our loss has beers trilling ; the troops arc
in high spirits, and I may expect much from
them. I am, &c.
