PLAYA DEL ESTE, CUBA. June 81
Friday four troops of the First cav
airy, four troops of the Tenth cavalry
and eight troops of Roosevelt's rough
riders, less than 1000 men in all. dis
mounted and attacked 1900 Spanish
soldiers in the thickets within five
miles Of Santiago de Cuba.
General Young commanded the ex
pedition and was with the regulars
while Colonel Wood directed the oper
ations of the rough riders, several
miles west.
Both parties struck the Spaniards
about the same time, and the fight
lasted an hour. The Spaniards opened
fire from the thick brush and had
every advantage of numbers and po.
sitiOn. but the troops drove them back
from the start, stOrmed the block
house, around which they made 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
cavalry, the Second Massachusetts, and
the Seventy-first 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.
