That the Spaniards were thoroughly
posted as TO the route to be taken by thu
Americans In their movement toward,
Sevilla was evident as shown by Oh,
careful preparations they bad made
The main body Of the spaniards wa
posted on n hill, on the heavily woode,
slopes Of which had been erected tw,
blockhouses, hanked by irregular en-
trenchments Of stone and fallen trees
At the bottom Of these hills run tw,
roads along which Lieutenant Colone

Palm leaves lined the trench and wer
heapcd in profusion over the dead h,
roes.
Chaplain Brown read the bcautifv
Episcopal burial service for the dea,
and as he knelt in prayer every troope
with barred head, knelt around III

most impressive rendering Of the music
