and L tell you things were warm for a
while.
The Spanfards stood their ground

But we were no sooner through with
the Span1ards than oHr troubles began
with the insurgents. We were ordered
to keep them from rushing in to sack
the city, which they We're willing to

for sixty hours straight. The insur-
gents were very angry when refused
admittance to the city, and they feel
ugly about 1t yet. We will surely have
trouble with them before we get
through.
