much inferior in force TO the Ameri-
cans. The Spanish transports were
fired upon by the Americans and were
stranded on the beach. The Spanish
sailors went ashore and occupied the
land trenches, where they opened very
lively fire upon the American ships, and
the latter withdrew. They had fired $50
shots OF various caliber. The Spanish
forces lost three soldiers killed and three
officers and IL soldiers wounded. Cap
tain General Blanco publicly congratu-
lated everyone who took part in the d.
fense, and notified the commander of
the garrison. Sanchez Parron. that he
must defend the place TO the very last.
The recent amnesty resolution adopt
