Other details relating to this great-litte battle

tabllshed fort, desired to fire the powder, but the
soldiers opposed him. Dorregaray addressed many
kind phrases to him and allowed the officers to
keep their swords. The Carlsts nave captured GOO
guns, 70, 900 cartridges and 800 grenades. Nearly
ten thousand shots were fired against the walls Of
the FORT including rockets and shells. The garri-
