Colonel Dasgett said that from the
general appearance Of the FL Carney for

that the garrison numbered 1900, The
Spanish estimate was 1900, The colo
mel said that the lesson Of FL Caney Is
that in modern warfare places may he

numbers in assault exaggerate slaugh'
ter, but do not add to strength. An otti
cial Spanish estimate gave the loss at
Ell Caney as 400; killed and wounded

After the battle the dead and wound
ed were gathered, and at p m. the
