The fight on General Young's side
was very much the same as that de.
scribed between the Spaniards and
Rough Riders, only General Young
had several machine guns. The Span
iards concentrated their fire on these !;
but without much effect. The guns
were too much for them, and they had
to give way, finally retreating to the
blockhouse with the result already
described.
After the fight the wounded were
gathered up and carried to a field
hospital half mile to the rear, prepa-
ratory to removal to more comfortable
quarters. Thirty-seven dead Span
iards were discovered during the
search for killed and wounded of the
Americans; but no especial effort was
made to ascertain the loss of the
enemy. 1t was sufficient to know that
he had been driven off the field. AS
many as so are thought to have been
killed.
The heat was terrific during the
fighting and many of the soldiers were
overcome from this and lack of water !;
but after the battle several cool springs
were found in the vicinity and all en-
joned much needed rest.
In the opinion of General Young,
after the battle, there would be no
more fighting until the city of Santa
90 was reached. He though that the
Spaniards would make their last stand
there. Before night, reinforcements
and supplies came in from Juragua,
and the victorious troops encamped in
and about the Spanish blockhouse only
about five miles from Santiago.

ed and missing on the American side,
revised to 4 o'clock Saturday, is as
