eAO OOIuIuu Vi MdISndl Martinez de
Campos, between Manzanillo and Ba-
vamO, on July 11th. The more that is
known Of the action, the more it is seen
that the Captain General and his forces
were in a position Of extreme peril, and
that it was only by the personal leader
ship and military skill of MarAal de
Campos himself that the day was saved
and made an especially
GLORIOUS ACTION
for the Spanish army.
Marshal Martinez de Campos left
Mananzillo July 11th for Bayamo, ac-
companied by fifty cavalry. He arrived
at Veguitas, about half way between the
two towns, at two o'clock in the after
noon, and received an enthusiastic re-
ceptiOn there. He united the column of

Immediately formed a square, making
a great and heroic defense against the
fierce attack. He ordered mules and
horses killed, and with them and with
the baggage of the troops, he formed
barricades to obStruct the insurgent
cavalry charges. The latter were not
able to resist the firing Of the Manser

this weakness and he Immediately
charged with cavalry. while the in
