The Vincta and the Fake were close
together during the attack, and nearer
the fort than the Panther. The first
two vessels at a range Of four and a
half miles poured In a continuous rain
Of shell upon the fort, and only
stopped firing with the advent Of dusk.

troops in the village Of San Carlos,
situated at the base of the fort.
Later a newspaper correspondent,
accompanied by a government tel

President Castro to the commandant
Of San Carlos, landed on the island
and entered the fort.
The walls were terribly battered and
there were many evidences Of the
fierce engagement. 1t was seen that a
