1t was then the American fire became
most deadly. Man after man could be
seen to fall in vain rush for shelter.
The easy victory put the command in
high spirits. The little black Cuban
warriors waved their machetes and
howled curses at the Spaniards in saw
age fashion. Their firing had been wild
throughout. but they all displayed the
utmost contempt for the Spanish bull
lets, apparently being absolutely with
out fear. AS the Spanish retreated the
Americans moved slowly forward firing
as they went and by the time the camp
was reached the enemy had all got
away. taking their wounded and prob

were found scattered through the brush.
