The efficacy of dynamite guns for artil-
lery purposes had a striking illustration
here day before yesterday. Under orders
of Gen. Brooke. the engineering corps was
sent forward on the road to Cayey, sup
ported by a battalion of the Fourth Ohio
Volunteers under command of Col. Colt to
examine an important bridge on the main
road to San Juan. 1t was reported that
the bridge was mined, and that it was to
be blown up to check our advance
Our forces marched slowly, with only
an advance guard thrown out. 1t was i'm
possible to deploy skirmishers, because Of
the nature of the country. A high noun
tain embankment ran along our left, and
a sudden descent of nearly 800 feet was
on the right of the road The soldiers had
gone about three miles along the steadily
ascending road, and were within half a
mile of the bridge, to reach which was the
object of the expedition. There was a
sharp turn in the road and when the
troops were about 300 yards beyond 1t, in
the most exposed place met thus far
there was a ShTil whistling of bullets. The
Spanish force was in ambush and knew
the range,
The spot in the road was visible from
all of the surrounding hills. Our men
could not tell where the bullets came from.
Fortunately there was small ditch three
feet wide and two feet deep on the side

to fix the stronghold Of the Spaniards.
After few minutes our men crawled back
to the turn in the road and awaited devel-
opments The enemy kept up an inces-
SAINT fire for an hour, the United States
forces during that time not firing shot
Soon Col Colt found an opening in the
hills to the left. He sent some troops to-
ward it, and formed a firing line up the
steep ascent. Meantime messengers had
been sent to the rear to bring up the dy-
Mantle guns of the command. The men
on the firing line did some shooting, but
il was not of serious effect. The ambush
OF the Spaniards was found after a time,
and the dynamite guns arrived within two
hours They were quickly placed in posi-
