sf,er o'clock in the morning, when some shots were
Cred IN the Plaza of Santa Ana, apparently to intiml
date some persons from the inside who had gone out to
ee what was going on. AT that time there was force
OF some three hundred people IN or near the Santa Ana
sousre armed with guns muskets, rifles, lances. or
whatever weapons were available. The Government
force including soldiers, police and the volunteer
militia, amounted, probably, to two hundred; Inc
firing outside was the signal for the Govern
