BATTLE AT s. NTIAoo.
4 Thousand u. s. TROOPERS Drive 1000
SPANISH Soldiers into Santiago.


Washington, June 25.-A battle oc-
Cured between eight troops OF Roos-
velt's rough riders and four troops OF
the Tenth and four of the Eighth cav
airy, less than 1000 men in all, and
2OOo Spanish soldiers in thickets,
within FIVE miles of Santiago. The
Spaniards were driven into the city,
/ leaving a number of dead in the brush,
and carrying many killed and wounded
away.
Thirteen Americans we're killed and.
fifty wounded, including six officers.
The killed are:
Rough riders-Captain Allyn X. Cap
ron, troop IL Sergeant Hamilton Fish,
jr., Privates Tilman and Dawson of
troop L; Private Dougherty of troop
A, Private w. T. Edwin OF troop f.
First cavalry-Privates Dix, York,
Bejork. Kobe, Berlin and Lenmock.
Tenth cavalry-Corporal White.
General Young commanded the ex-,
petition, and was with the regulars,
while Colonel Wood directed the oper-
ations of the rough riders several miles
west. Both parties struck the Span
iards about the same time, and the
fight lasted an hour.
The Spaniards opened fire from the
thickets and had every advantage Of
numbers and position, but the troops
drove them back from their station,
stormed the block house around which
they made final stand and sent then
scattering over the mountains.
The cavalrymen were afterwards re-
by the Seventh, Twelfth and
Seventeenth infantry, part of the Ninth
cavalry and the Second Massachusetts,
and the Seventy first New York.
The Americans now hold the position
at the Threshold of Santiago de Cuba,
with more troops going forward con-
stantly, and they are preparing for
final assault upon the city.
The success of the troops against
numbers, whose position was
has created new enthusi-
Ism. A decisive engagement is immi-
lent.

Washington, June 27.-Details OF

The fight was opened by General

Every officer and man did his duty

From another officer who took a
prominent part in the fighting, moro
details were obtained.
When the firing began, Lieutenant
Colonel Roosevelt took the right wing,
with troops @ and X, under Captains
Llewellyn and Jenkins, and moved to
the support of Captain Capron, who
was getting it hard. At the same time
Colonel Wood and Major Brodie took
the left wing and advanced In open

Brody was wounded before the troops
had advanced 100 yards. Colonel Wood
then took his right wing and shifted
Colonel Roosevelt to the left.

Spaniards had increased in volume, but,
Notwithstanding, an order for general

tain McClintock had his leg broken by
a bullet from machine gun, while I
four of his men went down. At the
same time Captain Luna, of troop f,
