(via Kingston, jamaica, June &C. 10 a.
m.)-The initial fight of Colonel Wood
rough riders and the troopers of the
First and Tenth regular cavalry will be
known in history as the battle of La
Quasina- That it did not end in the
complete slaughter of the Americans
was not due to any miscalculatioa in
the plan Of the Spanish. 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 square
ly into it. For an hour and a half they
held their ground under a perfect storm
of bullets from the front and sides, and
then, Colonel Wood at the right and
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 10
men on the American side were killed,
while go were wounded, or are reported
to be missing. 1t is i'm .sSible to cal
culate the Spanish losses, but it IS
known they were far heavier than

CARDS actual loss of life. Already 81
dead Spanish soldiers have been found
and buried, while many others are IN
doubtedly 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 wound
ed were all removed.
