SPANISH AIM GOOD.
ENEMY DID REMARKABLY AC-
CURATE FIRING FRIDAY.
Had a Perfect Ambuscad e-Roosevelt
and His Rough Riders Walked Square
Iy Int It-Sixteen Americans Killed,
Nine Missing and Sixty Wounded.

Friday four troops of the First cav
airy, four troops of the Tenth cavalr!
and eight troops of Roosevelts rougl
riders, less than 1000 men in all, dis
mounted and attacked 1000 Spanish
soldiers in the thickets within tiv
miles of Santiago de Cuba.
General Young commanded the eN
petition and was with the regulars
while Colonel Wood directed the oper
atoms of the rough riders, several
miles west.
Both parties struck the Spaniard'
about the same time, and the fight
lasted an hour. The Spaniards opened
fire from the thick brush and haC
every advantage of numbers and pc
sition, but the troops drove them back
from the start, stormed the block
house, around which they made a final
stand, and sent them scattering over
the mountains.
The cavalrymen were afterwards re-
inforced by the Seventh, Twelfth and
Seventeenth infantry, part of the Ninth
the Seventy-frst New York.
The Americans now hold the position
at the threshold of Santiago de Cuba
with more troops going forward con-
stantly, and they are preparing for a
final assault upon the city.
1t is probable that at least ten in the
list of wounded will die.
