a. m.-TThe initial fight OF Col. Wood
rough riders and the troopers OF the
First and Tenth regular cavalry, Will
be known in history as the Battle or
La Quasina. That it did not end IN
the complete slaughter Of the Ameri-
cans was not due to any mlscaIcula-
ton in the plans of the Spaniards, for
as perfect an ambuscade as ever
formed in the brain of an Apache In
dian was prepared, and Lieut.. Col.
Roosevelt and his men walked squareiy
into it. For an hour and half they
held their ground under a perfect
storm of bullets from the front and
sides, and then Col. Wood, at the
right and Lieut. Col. Roosevelt at the
left. led charge which turned the
tide of battle and sent the enemy fly
ing over the hills toward Santiago.
1t is now definitely known that six
teen men on the American side were
killed, Wullc SlAty "SiS "S"~N -
are reported to be missing.
1t is impossible to calculate the Span
ish losses, but it is known that they
were heavier than those of the Ameri-
cans, at least as regards actual loss of
life. Already thirty-seven dead Span
ish soldiers have been found and
buried. while many others undoubtedly
are lying in the thick underbrush ON
the side of the gully and on the slope
of the hill where the main body OF the
army was located. The wounded were
all removed.
