ing others back. This was done TO cover
the operations Of the main rebel column.
The attack vas made before daylight,
when the guard we're mostly abed.
Two hundred prisoners are reported to
have been captarsd, mostly Of the 18th
Pa. cavalry.
The lst District Of Colombia cavalry,
on duty near BY, soon attacked the rebels,
