was 10 JOIN Aatorre that day but seeing that their
movement had been discovered prepared Tor

Tho revolutionsts numbered 3, 500 men, while Ala
had only 500 This officer, however, determined
10 attack tho enemy In their position. He ordered
two columns 10 advance simultaneously but from
different points, upon the formidable position occupied
by tho rebels the top OF tho Jazmin Mountain. The
charge made by these columns very gallant. hut

miles from Alatorre's headquarters. He took posses

repused two attacks made on II. AZ night came on
tho enemy ceased hre, but surrounded the place.
Corella, finding himself surrounded and being Of .
rather lmpetuous disposition, determined
TO CUT HIS WAY OUT
He divided his command into two columns and rushed
ON tho encmys limo in opposite directions Both col
umns got through. CorellA and hrs column reached
Yanhunn the next morning but tho other part OF the
