and robbers. After lively fight the reb-
els retired in great haste with a loss Of tfty
men on the field. The Americans did Eot
loose a man in this engagement.
While Colonel Anderson. of the Thirty
eighth Volunteers, and his regiment were
proceedings to south of Santa Tomas
they fell in with a large force OF insur-
