months and have met the enemy thirty-one
different times, twenty-eight of which We
have been successful. The severest Of
these was on the railroad from Havana to
Mantanzas, in Havana province, about
nineteen miles from the capital,
the battle of Moro del Rey. The enemy
left twenty-nine killed and fifty-one
wounded on the field, nine of whom were
officers. General Gomez lost thirteen
