news of this victory
A Cuban band was observed near

squadrons of cavalry to attack it.
After running fight the band,
which proved to be composed of Is
Texans, was chased into bottle"
a bit of hammock, having only one
opening. The Texans seeing that
they were in hole, retreated to the
farther end and fortified themselves
hastily behind some big boulders.
The Spanish troops dismounted and
surrounded them, pouring in fire
from all sides. The brave Texans
replied, and kept up the fight for
more than five hours.
By that time six of the fifteen had
been killed and four were wounded,
while twenty five Spaniards had bit
ten the dust. and ten or more were
wounded.
A flag of truce was sent in by the
Spanish, and the Texans were called
on to surrender but the Americans
refused with one accord to lay down
their arms. shouting: "We remem

This infuriated the Spanish and
they fought with renewed fierceness.
