I'Ppello and soiviCtOtiOusy for General Jbr-
tlan. According to'tlIe correspondent the
number OfSpaniarls killed and wounded
exceeded Tho number Of the OubauS eng1g-
cd in this battle, piece Of information
which the patriots acquired in part by hAv-
ing to llsinter the Spaniarts to get
their clothing. HG writes that the
Spaniartls buried all their dead
on tic field and retreatcd seven miles to
iOrti(y themselves ina strong position,
where they remained for two weeks with
out daring to leave their entertainments,
even for food, which became very scarce.
Their loss included 200 killed and buried
on the field and 1876 who died and iwere
buried in their refuge. Gen. Jordan foul ght
the battle with 5t9 men, including negroes
and Chinese, and some Of them so rugged
they lIad to strip the dead. Descrtcrs
confirm this Spanish loss and place their
wounded at 800, making thoir total loss
exceed tho number Of our men engaged
in the battle. Among their loss were
colonel and % officers. Our loss was 9
killed and 12 wounded. It's General JOr-
dams testimony that none fought better in
this battle than the negroes and Chinese.
