''On the night of the 18th, they advanced, in
number about $50, to attack this CITY Fortunate

population to prepare for such an attack. By the
aid OF two small guns, loaded with grapeShot, the
assalants were repused with the loss of four killed
and twenty wounded. As the night was rainy and
very dark, and as our force in regular soldiers
very small, most OF our men being volunteers from
the youth OF the city, 1t was not deemed prudent

larger than Puente Dentro. But it is all open in

defend it from an attacking fore. SO all its pOpu-
iatlon has rushed to Puento Dentro, and all our
houses are crowded with people, while those of the
outer towns are abandoned. The owners go out to
thef houses IN the morning, but return to sleep in
Puente Dentro, for fear of being massacred in the
night by the negroes, who come in small bands
from all our outer villages.
''How long this state of things will last cannot
tell Several columns of troops are in pursuit OF
the insurgents, but they fly to the woods as
they approach, and resume their rayages when they
disappear. 1t Is feared that if we relax gi-
