for two days and then the rebels managed
to ignite the roof Of the church, and il
burned away and finally fell upon those

intact, however, and were used as a shel-

it is estimated that over 200 of the

having been removed from the scene Of the
fighting. After Eve days resistance by
the Americans, a lieutenant and eight
