THE MEMoIRs
MAJOR GENERAL
ZACHARY TAYLOR.
Written expressly for the National wing.
CHAPTER Iv.-(Conc!udtd.)

The strength Of the marching force OF
the American army in The battle of the 9th,
was 173 officers and 2049 men--nggregate
5000 The actual number engaged With
the enemy did not exceed 100. The Ame-
,ican loss was officers killed and IL
wounded; thirty-six men killed and Al
wounded. Among the officers killed was
Lieutenant lnge Of the Cd dragons, who
fell at the head Of bis platoon while gallant
ly charging the enemy's battery Lieuten-
ant Cochrane of the 9Th, and Lieutenant
Chadbonrne of the 9Th infantry, who like
wise met their death in the thickest Of the
fight The officers wounded were Lieuten-
ant Col. Payne, Inspector General-Lieu-
tenant Dobbins OF the Sd infantry, serving
with the light infantry advance, slightly
Lieutenant Colonel Mcintosh Of the 5th
infantry, severely, twice-Captain Hooe Of
the 9th infantry, severely--Lieut. Fowler
of the 9Th infantry, slightly-Capt Mont
gomery Of the 9Th infantry, slightly -Lieu-
tenants Gates and Jordan Of the 9Th, Sc
verely, each twice-Lieuts. Selden, Maclay,
Burbank, and Morris Of the Sth infantry,
slightly.
Gen. Taylor had no accurate data from
which to estimate the enemy's force on the
9th. He was known to have been rein
forced after the action of the 9Th, both by
cavalry and infantry, to an extent at least
equal to his loss on that day. 1t is proba-
bic that 5000 men were opposed to the
Americans, and in position chosen by
themselves, and strongly defended with ar
tillery. The enemy's loss was very great.
Nearly 200 Of his dead were buried by the
Americans on the day succeeding the bat
tie. His loss in killed and wounded and
missing in the two affairs of the 9Th and
9th Of May, was estimated by Gen. Tay-
Tor at 1000 men, and the estimate was re-
garded by him as moderate.
lhe victory was decisive. "A small force
overcame immense odds Of the best troops
that Mexico could furnish-veteran regi-
ments perfectly equipped and appointed.
Eight pieces Of artillery, several colors and
standards, great number Of prisoners, in
GLIDING IA officers and large amount Of
baggage and public property fell into the
hands Of the Americans.
General Taylor, in his official despatch
to the War Department, announcing the re-
suit Of the battles Of the 9th and 9th Of
May, 1916, considers that the causes Of
these victories are to be found in the supe-
rior quality Of the American officers and
men.
