 Capt. J. E, Gaujot of Troop K-, First cavalry. received notice of the battles opening at 2:35. A long line ol dust heralded the coming of the American cavalry. as it dashed down the international line from the city ball park headquarters.

At the line they were stopped by Ameri- can cavalry and disarmed. Rifles to the number of forty were stacked and guarded.
 With these deserting federals, besides two captains. were Lieuten- ant Martinez and sub-Lieutenant Er- rique Eineno. They were placed under guard of American cavalry and marched to the ball park. 9th CT federals deserted by the officers chose to defend the town. They ex posed themselves in doorways, fir ing also from corners of buildings and and from roofs. Four men carrying a wounded federal on q ! stretcher, passed into the open street directly within the firing line.

 We will not" was the reply. The rebel ranks drew nearer, both little armies fighting from door-ways and windows in the open. The barley continued. We will surrender if our captain returns and so orders,
 aid the federal force.

Moore escorted the federals who had feared slaughter if they surrendered to the American line. Their gun' numba1ng twenty-three, with bay onets and forty belts of cartridges were turned over to Lopez.
