SUCCESS crowned the yea, and gallantry of our
troops, ably directed by their distinguished com.
mander, Brig. Gen. Shields; our.GJh victory In
the same day.
Shields took $50 prisoners, including officers !;
and il cannot be doubted that the rage Of the
conflict between him and the enemy, just in the
rear of the tete de pont and the convent had some
influence on the surrender of those formidable
defences.
AS soon as the tete de pont was carried, the
greater part of Wortlls and Pillows forces passed
that bridge in rapid pursuit of the flying enemy.
These distinguished generals, coming up with
Brigader General Shields, now also victorious,
the three continued to press upon the fugtlves
to within mile and half of the capital. Here,
Col. Harvey, with small part OF his brigade
of cavalry, rapidly passed to the 'front.' and
charged the enemy up to the nearest gate. The
cavalry charge was headed by Captain Kearney
of the LIST Dragons, having in squadron, with his
own troop, that of Capt McReynolds OF the 3D.
making the usual escort 10 general headquarters
but being early in the day detached for general
service, was now under Colonel Harney's orders.
The gallant captain not hearing the recall, that
had been sounded dashed W to the San Antonio
gate, sabering in his way all who resisted. OF
he seven officers of the squadron, Kearney lost
his left arm McReynolds and Lieutenant Lori
mer Graham were both severely wounded, and
Lieutenant II. s. Ewell, who succeeded 10 the
command OF the escort had two horses killed I'M

Wreck offhe British JfaH Steam
er IsOeed.-By the Yuostan schooner
Atrevido, from Campeachy, we have
received files Of papers from Merida
TO The 10th nit
|. The only item Of importance in
them, is the loss OF the British mail
steamer Tweed. from Havana to Vera
Cruz. The Tweed left Havana on the
9th, aud on the l2th experienced a
heavy gale, by which she was thrown
on the eastern side Of the Almanes and
wrecked. She had on board 65 pas
sengers, and her crew was composed OF
about so men.
According to the intelligence re-
ceived at S:sal, through Dir. John Da-
Wis, the supercargo, who had charge OF
the correspondence, over 60 lives were
lost. The Tweed had cargo of ITO
TASKS of quicksilver, which will proba-
bly, be a total loss.
The Spanish brig Emilio on her
way TO Havana. met boat from the
Tweed, on the 18Th, with persons on
board, about 10 miles from Sisal, and
took them on board, returned 70 port
with tbem-and notwithstanding the
rough sea and high wind at the time,
returned to the wreck, in order TO az
ford assistance to the persons that re-
manned on board.
Her return was snxiously looked for
at Sisai, as great fears were entertain
ed for the lives OF those who were left
on the wreck.

Tampico, Feb. 18th, 1917.

Eds. Delia:.-The rumor ! sent you
this evening relating to a battle be-
tween Santa Anna and Gen. Taylor,
although Mexican news, is credited
by almost every officer here. The
advance of Santa Anna from San Luis
to Saltillo has prepared every one for
the receipt of the news of a battle,
at that place or Monterey, and from
that they more readily credit the re-
port The force of the Mexican COM
mander must have beenlarge, Judging
from the notices Of their departure
from San Luis, and he had enough in
his own mind, to overcome the A or
5,00o-if that many, of Gen. Taylor.
Independent of this, the fact of the
Mexicans reporting the news, which
lis against themselves, induces me to
attach some credit to it-for, as | have
said, there is generally some fire from
where this sort of smoke arises. The
account, as | gathered it last evening,
is little more in detail than is set
ava "a iAt al i1oN lSLtGT.
On the approach OF Santa Anna to
Saltillo, Gen. Taylor fell back on the
road to Monterey, followed by the
Mexican chief In eagerness to out
flank Taylor and cut off his retreat, he
extended his line too far, and so wea-
kened his centre, that the ready eye
of old Taylor Immediately discovering
the advantage, and, wheeling his col
umn to the right, by quick move,
cut through their centre, and made
such work Oh the advanced half, that,
before the rear could render them any
essential service. they were cut up and
dispersed. The number Of killed on
the part Of the enemy, is represented
by the Mexicans to have been greater
than at any other battle. Amongst
the dangerously wounded, | hear the
name of Gen. Arista mentioned, but
do not learn whether he is a prisoner.
| could mention 10 you the names of
several distinguished officers who place
implicit confidence in TIE news, bot il
is unnecessary.
If you have not received the news
Of this fight look Of your last dates from
Monterey. 1t would take this news
seven or eight days TO reach here. and
il may be as many more before it
reaches your city.
