JURAGUA, Cuba, June %, per Dis
patch Boat Dandy, via Kingston, ia
maica, June 27.-The initial fight of
Colonel Woods rough riders, and the
troopers of the First and Tenth cavalry,
an account of which has appeared in
these dispatches, will be know in his
tory as the battle of La Quasina. That
it did not end in the complete slaughter
Of the Americans was not due to any
lniscalculation in the plan of the Span
iards, for as perfect an ambuseade as
was ever formed in the brain of an
Apache Indian was prepared, and Lieu
tenant Colonel Roosevelt and his men
walked squarely into it. For an hour
and a half they held their ground un-
der perfect storm of bullets from the
front and sides, and then Colonel Wood
at the right and Lieutenant Colonel
Roosevelt at the left led charge which
turned the tide of battle and sent the
enemy flying over the hills toward San
tiago.
It is now definitely known that s16
men on the American side were killed,
while 60 were wounded or are reported
to be missing. 1t is impossible to cal
culate the Spanish losses. but it is
known that they were far heavier than
those OF the Americans, at least as re-
CARDS actual loss of life. Already 81
dead Spanish soldiers have been found
and buried, while many others I'M
doubtedly are lying in the thick under
brush on the side of the gulley, and on
the slope of the hill, where the main
/ body of the enemy was located. The
wounded were all removed
