CAMP MoCALLA, Guantanamo Bay, June
lathe assault of the Spanish guerrillas,
which caused Lieut.. Col. Huntington to
strike camp on Sunday and remove his
headquarters to the foot of the hill near
his original landing place on Fisherman
Point. was continued at dusk on Sunday
night, and wasprosecuted with,determina-
tion all night. The firing was all but In
cessant from sunset to daylight. Two men
were killed. They'wero:
Sergeant-Major HENRY GooDE, shot
through the right breast.
Private TAUMAE, wounded, and fell or
the cliff and was instantly killed.
Seven Americans were wounded.
The despatch boats were holding their
last communication with the shore as
darkness set in. They were too nearly
within range Of the guns of the ships,
which, 1t was seen. would have to be
boats or the men or officers on the war
ships to enjoy the situation. Launches
were sent to hurry the newspaper boats to
other positions.
The guerrillas made their presence known
by their fire from various directions. The
marines were kept busy replying, firing
into the push on all sides and aiming
wherever the last sound of a rifle came
from. They were unable to see the enemy
and had no other trace Of them than when
they saw in the open patches of thicket
the flashes of exploding cartridges.
The battalion had held the hill, although
they were removing their camp. Their flag
had been planted on the site-of the destroyed
Spanish blockhouse, and was not to be for
sAken or taken down. Trenches had been
dug around the crest of the hill, and on the
slope barricades were erected out of the
tents and camp luggage, backed with earth
and lumber, and screened on the outer side
by leaves and green branches from the
bushes.
Tho SpaniardS made themselves the color
Of the fields and woods by covering the
upper parts of their bodies and hats with
green leaves, and as they approached hold
ing palm leaves before their faces. These
woodland deckings the men defending the
hill did not detect, but scouting parties
discovered the ruse through one Of them
