Of the old Spanish settlers The phalanx
was recruited up TO 80 men By companies
OF the same stamp rs the original s. Col.
Wales natives also increased TO about 800
Granada was near the lake and was
guarded by fort on the water side. The
Democrats sailed to the point at night,
landed under cover Of darkness and picked
their way itealthily, the phalanx marching
In front, rs usual. The outskirts Of the city
were reached about sunrise, and a peal OF
bells burst FROM the towers OF the gray old
cathedral and the churches here and there.
The assailants supposed that sentinels were
ringing alarm bells calling TO arms and
quickened their steps, the phalanx scaling
barricade in front OF the chief plaza with
their thrilling western warwhoop But the
garrison OF the town was trifling: few
were killed, and the rest ran away
The fort beyond the town mounted three
cannon ard was manned by 40 men. A
charge by 25 Americans drove the garrison
to their boats; and in atwinkling Granada
venerable, naughty, aristocratic Granada
was revolutionized. A decidedly new
role was then forced upon the Americans
by the conduct Of their allies. To kill and
rob the enemy is the time honored privilege
Of tho victors In Central America, and
