Wounded-The Spanish Loss.
Juragua. Cuba. June 25, via Kingston,
Jamaica, June Copyright, 1898, by
Associated Press.]-The initial fight OF
Colonel Woods Rough Riders and the
troopers of the First and Tenth regular
cavalry will be known in history as the
battle of La Quasina. That 1t did not
end in the complete slaughter of the
Americans was not due to any miscal-
culation in the plan of the Spaniards,
for as perfect an ambuscade as was
ever formed in the brain of an Apache
Indian was prepared, and Lieutenant
Colonel Roosevelt and his men walked
squarely into 1t. For an hour and
half they held their ground undera per-
feet storm of bullets from the front and
sides, and then Colonel Wood at the
right and Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt
at the left led a charge which turned
the tide of battle and sent the enemy
flying over the hills toward Santiago.
1t is now definitely known that sixteen
men on the American side were killed.
while sixty were wounded, or are re-
ported to be missing. 1t is impossible
to calculate the Spanish losses, but 1t is
those Of the Americans-at least as re-
CARDS actual loss of life Already thir-
ty-seven dead Spanish soldiers have
been found and buried. while many 9TH
ers undoubtedly are lying In the thick
underbrush on the side of the gully and
on the slope of the hill, where the main
body of the enemy was located The
wounded were all removed.
