Government Started Battle.

The government troops approached
from four directions, General Angeles
from the west General Cauz from the
north General Mas from the south
and General Delegado from the east.
Towards the end of the battle they were
crowded close together, and from his
position in San Diego street General
Cauz sent hundreds of solid shot against
the arsenal. one corner of which was de-
stroyed
Early in the action General Daz saw
to il that his men held their fire The
quantity of ammunition both for the
big and the light arms used by the fed
erals was far greater than by the rebels.
Apparently the less frequent fire from
the rebel positions was more effective
and calculations are that the rebel loss
in killed and wounded was considerably
smaller than that of the government.
The cannon of the federals were event
ually sileneed by the rebels but the ex-
tent of the damage to the rebel artil-
lcry is not known outside their own lines.
Ambulances of the Red Cross and
White cross were early seen whirling
away from the federal rear with loads
of wounded. many of whom were citizens,
including boys and women of the lower
classes.
Not even the imminence OF battle was
sufficient TO keep many Of the curious
from exposing themselves. Others among
the injured came from houses into which
shells and bullets penetrated, there find
ing victims who had been unable TO
escape.
