That estabishment-a large adobe building, situated at

others contiguous, was partially barricaded and occupied

OF General Walkers arrival the orning of the 18th
From @ commanding position II became the point Of
assault from little force in Granada. II was
with few men, to drive the enemy the morning
the 9Th. This they partially accomplished by gaming
nranos into the adjoining building on the vest side, and
digging hole through the wall large enough for
rance into the "Walker House," After charging In

Rumors had been rife during the past few days, that
the enemy about 70 evacuate MassayA and retreat 70

the kind has been made, needs confirmation. Such will
probably be their shouk Genefa 81 Walker receive

ARTILLERY TROPHIES TO NEW YORK-RIFLE SHOTS
AT THE 0REASERS.
BY the steamer which leaves 10 day, there will be for
warded 70 New York. the two beautiful large brass field
pieces, which have 20 long occupied positions on tho
plaza At Granada These understand, are BY order OF
President Walker 10 be recast into OF smaller
cabre, Tor the use Of the Ncaraguan army Such would
be Of great service In the operations OF General Walker
muniton. There seemed 70 me 10 be an unnecessary
waste Of the latter article In the battle Of Granada and
that many fred at random apparently with other OBJ
ject than 70 bow much noise they could make had
number OF very fair chances the greasers bat whether
bit any OF them, Is In my mind rather problematch.
