spaniards Well Prepared.
= That the spaniards were thoroughly
posted as to the route to be taken by
the Americans in their movements
towards Sevilla was evident, as shown
by the careful preparations xaey had
made. The main body of the Spaniards
was posted. on a. hill sons the + heavily
wooded slopes of which had been
erected two blockhouses, fanked hv:
irregular intrenchments of stone and
fallen trees. At the, bottom ,ofs these
hills run two roads, along which Lieut.,
Col.1 Roosevelt's l1nen. and @efght troops
OF the First and Tenth cavalry, with
battery of four howitzers, advanced.
These roads are but little more than
gullies, rough andtnar1row;;,ant1 at placesF
almost impossible. In: these trails the
fight occurred. Nearly half a mile sepa-
rated Roosevelt's men from the regu-
lars, and between them and ON both:
sides sof the> road in the ltliickff under
brush was concealed a force of Span
1ards that must have been large, sjudg-
ing from the terrific and constant fire
they poured in on the Americans.
Ihe light was opened by the First and
= tenth ! : cavalry, under Gen. Young. A
force of Spaniards was known tofbe in
8the vicinitySof La sQuasina and early in
the morning Lieut.. Col. Roosevelt's men
started off up the precipitous bluff back
