Ths Initial nsht Of Col Woods rough
r11oro ana the troopers Of the First and
Ienfh regular cavalry viii be known in
history ~ the battle Of La ouasina. That
4 did not end IN the complete slaughter Of
~ Americans was not due to any miscal-
culation in the plan Of the SpaAish. for as
perfect an ambuscade az was ever formed
in the brain of an Apache Indian was pre-
pared. Lieut.. Col. Roosevelt and his men
walked squarely into It. For an hour and
Z halt they held their ground under q per-
foct storm Of bullets from the front and
nidea, and then Col. Wood at the righ and
Col Roosevelt at the left led a charge
which turned the tide Of battle and sent
the enemy flying over the hills toward
gaAtiago.
It Ii now definitely known that sixteen
men on the American side were killed while
sixty were wounded or are reported to be
missing.
The Spanish Losses
It is impossible to calculate the Spanish
losses, but 1t il known they were far heav-
Ter than those of the Americans at least us
regards actual logs Of life. Already thirty
seven dead Spanish soldiers have been
found and buried, whilc many others are
undoubtedly 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 re-
moved.
A complete list of the killed. wounded and
missing on the American side, revised to
