CAPTURE OF CANEY
Continued frcm First Page.)

ridge, which sloped away from the Spanish
side, afforded good protection with no dam
ger from the bullets which at times came
that way and tore up the earth or 1attened
against the stones.
BY this time the engagement was gen
elaL The troops were making their way
forward in squads under such shelter as
they could find. voliey firing was universal
broken only by the roar from the artillery.
Necessarily the shooting by the troops was
blind. for as Che Spaniards did not expose
themselves to reach them was like finding
hidden targets From the loopholes in the
block houses and the rife pits surrounding
the stone fort they returned a steady and
telling fire They also had crack sharp
shooters posted in trees, who picked off
men at will. The main fire was to cut off
the sharpshoOters in the rifle pits. Occa
siCnally one of them would be seen with
his head just above the earthworks. and
would fall back suddenly a victim. At in
tervals some one would run from the pits
to the forts, and though a thousand rife
balls would pelt the earth in a solid hail
he would apparently escape unframed.
Neither earthworks and forts nor their de-
Tenders can be materially damaged by rife
shots from the open.
| watched the movements from the hill
top for several hours, and saw, what the
commanding generals already knew, that
the infantry would have to take the in
tIenched positions by storm. AS the troops
closed in they were beginning to suffer
from the eneHy's fire. The artillery was
not succeeding in destroying the fortifca-
lions and intrenchments, which sheltered
the Spanish marksmen. This was as true
of Poso and the Santiago outworks as of
Caney. l the shots pouring from the
guns at Poso and the answering fire of the
Spanish forts. Without seeing much it was
easy to know that the fighting in that di-
rection Was severe and General Kent's d.
vision on the eS treme left was exposed to
a concealed fire. 1t was no surprise to
learn later that some of the hottest fight
ing of the day had taken place here, that
the 18th had been badly cut up by shrapnel
in rushing the hill in front of the outer
intrenchment, and that the other regi
ments were also in the midst of constant
shooting. AS a tactical move, the feint at
Poso Was not successful, because the Span
iards were ready and forced a real COM
bat, where only a demonstration was
meant causing much greater losses than
they received. They yielded by nighttime
their outlying biockhouse and drew their
line closer in toward the city. but thelc
batteries still cannonaded the approaches.
Temporarily they succeeded in preventing
the junction of the two divisions between
Caney and Peso They were less success
full in repulsing the cavalry division, which
occupied the center and which, under Gen.
Wheeler, participated in some sharp Skin
mishes.

General Ludlow's command was easily
visible. 1t had first come upon the enemy
at an angle on the Santiago road where
the attack was opened on it from intrench-
ments concealed IN the manigua or thick
brush From there it had=volleyed its path
till within close range of the outposts of
Caney. L saw the squads making their
way through the woods, stealing along at
one place, rushing at another, until they
were ready TO take part in the general as
sauit. Meanwhile the line had closed from
the extreme left to the right and had been
strengthened on the tanks. The ridges and
hills where the companies had been sta
toned for picking off the garrison were
abandoned and the companies ordered fur
Their in. The assault began towards 3
o clock in the afternoon. 1t really lasted
faH an hour. During all that time the
troops pressed steadily onward. gaining
point after point, though their ranks were
thinned every pace forward they made
The stone fort was the point to be gained
1t returned a vigoI Gus reply to the troops
but now their greatest losses came from
the other block houses. These kept up
fearful cross fire. 1t caught the troops in
the front, the rear and on both sides
There could be forward movement with
out this exposure. In reality two rushes
were made. The first brought the com
panies taking part up to the base of the
hill. They were ainly from the 18th and
18th, while the It'll and the 18th protected
them as far as possible from the forts
The second rush carried them right to the
earth works, which they stormed in mo-
ment. By this time all the Spanish rife
men who survived had taken refuge in the
fort or had run down the gully towards
the village of Caney. Eight or ten distort-
ed corpses were lying on the ground while
half dozen of the garrison were writhing
in death agony. The commandante of the
fort and seven of his men were taken pris-
oners, and the Spanish flag pulled down.
In its stead the American flag went up
The act was seen by the thousands Of SOL
ciers who were in the engagement They
cheered wildly and madly, all the time
pressing forward. The stone fort was
taken and II was now only a question of
time when the other defenses would yield
They soon ceased firing, but none of them
put up a white flag and caution had yet to
be observed. However. the troops moved
with freedom over the field, and the wound
ed were cal rted to the rear. The procession
was long one and the badly wounded
were many. 1t was also possible to take
account, of the dead. Men who all day had
seen their comrades falling began to in
quir' who were left The mortality among
officers was unusually large. On the field
the lack of regimentai surgeons had been
seriously felt Away from the fighting the
field hospitals showed a painful lack Of
facilities. They were utterly inadequate.

Admiration of ForeiRner..

The foreign military attaches who rode
up to the fort to make closer examination
were full of admiration for the gaIiantrv
show in the action, but some of them
thought the artillery should have succeed
ed in destroying the fort and the earth
works and not have exposed the infantry
to the necessity of making such a charge
That was the opinion Of others. The at
taches complimented the American officers
for giving decent burial 10 the dead Span-
iards who were inferred In trench dug

While the Spanish soldiers who had fallen
IN the rife pits were receiving burial, men
were seen running from the blockhouses in

was given not to fire. Later The garrison
