the fighting strength of the Americans now
operating near Ponce about 5000 men, equal
to the entire force of Spanish regular troops
on the island.
General Cfarretson's camp is temporarily
near the Second and Third Wisconsin res

brigade marched seventeen miles from Iau-
co to Ausby, where they arrived travel

some firing last night between Captain Aus

All the American troops are restless due
to false alarms Of the approach of the
Spaniards and they are anxious for an en-
