pany of 6remen. Manzanillo is de-
Tended by Gerana and Searagoza castles
and nine towers. The war steamer
Vanditti and two gunboats in the bay
assisted in the defense. The defense was
obstinate, but after half hours fighting
theCabans pressed the Spaniards back.
The Cubans then entered the city and
occupied the market place aud chief
streets. The eight became general, last
ing from the afternoon uRtil three
clock next morning. The Cubans then
burned the chief buildings.
The war vessels kept up a IRE, but
instead of iDjuring the Cubans, they
only helped to burn the town. After
destroying half the city by fire and cap
turing twenty-five stands of arms, 5000
rounds of ammunition aud considerable
booty in gold, notes, clothing, provision
and horses. valued at over a million
dollars, the Cubaus evacuated the city,
