Madrid. June 24.-rhe minister for
war. General Gorrea. received an Of
ficial dispatch from Santiago.
Ing that the Americans first attack on
Puenta Berraco has been repulsed after
"a hard fought and bloody engagement"
tPucnta Berraco is situated a short dis
lance from Baiquiri. where the United
States troops landed. 1t is nearer the
coast and therefore more completely un-
der the guns OF the American feet, from
which 1t can be judged that II is highly
improbable that the army a been re-

by from 500 to 700 recruits. Everything
Is moving smoothly at the park. The
men are all contented and are working
with a good will. The quartermaster's
department has been thoroughly sys-
tematized, so that there is no longer the
slightest difficulty for the men to get
plenty Of good and wholesome food. The
regiments are nearly all equipped with
new uniforms. and are being armed as
rapidly as the guns can be turned out
OF the arsenal. Other needed equip
ments are being added daily.
For the first time In the history of h
army of the United States an ambulance
corps is being organized as an adjunct
to its cheney. The object OF this or
ganiz. n is to facilitate the proper
handling Of the sick and wounded on the
field. The corps will have attached to
1t skilled physicians. surgeons and
stewards. which. with a full supply of
attendants. will number $50. They have
