up tho line not TO follow the Spaniart,s.
The day was very hot. His men were
very tired and were wet through from a
heavy rain that had fallen the night be.
fore Tho line was rearranged in the ex-
pectation of n counter attack.
The Spanish largely outnumbercd the
Americans at Las Guasinas. Their pa.
pers boasted that 2, 500 of their men
had checked the whole American army.
Cubans asserted that the Spaniards
numbered 5000 that day. Other csti-
mates placed it Mt 2, 500. Young total
force was 0G5.
After the battle General Young ad-
mitted to Wheeler that he (Young) had
made one mistake after all. He said
that that was in the matter of deploy-
ment rs his column advanced. One troop
had divergcd to the left instead Of 20

II have watched the game from start to
finish, and if l had it to do over would
not change one iota of your plan. new.
er witnessed "A battle that was carried
out so entirely without change of plan. "
The only interference on the part Of
General Wheeler was TO urge General
Young personally to keep under cover.
General Young is u giant in stature.
His exposure that day, noticed and COM
mented ON by all. was not done for
bravado. He did il to set an example to
officers and men who had never been
under fire before. He thought that il
they saw their general taking the usual
risks it would have good effect.
General Young said to Wheeler that
he had throughout the utmost confidence
Of success, adding: General. if had
lost this battle and still lived, you
would have my resignation. NY object
Of fighting this battle was to get Las
Guasimas for the arrays camp"
The total loss in General Young's
command was 60 killed and wounded.
Tho strength Of the squadron of rough
riders was about equal to the strength
of the squadrons of the FIRST and Tenth
cavalry present. The rough riders lost
eight killed and the regulars eight. In
the regulars Major Bell and Captain
Birom were wounded. Seven ont of the
eight killed ia the regulars belonged to

ascending the difficult hill. General
Wheeler intimated TO Young that he
was overmatched. His three troops Of
tho Tenth cavalry We're close up in sup
port of the First. There was only ono
troop held in reserve. General Young
called Wheeler's attention to the firing
on Woods line, which indicated that
Wood was advancing as fast as the reg

that he had the utmost confidence in
success. Captain Wainright's troop of
the First was of ON the extreme right
Of the regulars, following a road north

turn the Spanish right, 1t seems from
reports of General Young's aids that
the Spanish TANKS were turned stimuli
taneously, and the Spaniards retreated
in rout. Captain Beck's and Captain
Galbraith's regular troops eormed n
junction with Wood, and then tho line
of battle was continuous from end to

The fight lasted about hour and 90
minutes from the time the Hotohkiss

were turned. There was some firing for
