Judging by the incessant noise of

hours, you might have supposed that
the streets after the battle would be
heaped with dead. l went about very
early in the morning after the Insur-
rectos had been repulsed and saw
wonderfully few Altogether there
can hardly have been more than
couple of hundred killed, counting all
parts of the field. Yet, in all, nearly
10000 men were engaged; for early
in the afternoon of the second day
the garrison was heavily reinforced.
1t was magnificent to see the relief
march into the city. The frightened
inhabitants came out into the streets,
which till then had been as empty as
in dead of night, to cheer and give
the soldiers all the food and cigarets
they had. | shall never forget the
emotion of that hour. But could not
help wondering why the enemy had
not made any movement to intercept
this force, and why, instead of march,
ing it into the city, it had not been
sent to catch the rebels in the rear

much more than what a grand jury

course there are some hard-fought
battles in the revolutionary cam

story of the battle of Monterey may
be taken by some readers as an indi-

probably knows how to shoot fairly
straight; but the veterans are not al

lack of an organized commissariat.
The wives and daughters of the sol
diers follow the camps and attend to
the feeding of the men. Mr. Fyfe
writes:
Troops are not handled in masses
at all. There is little strategy and
next to no tactics. Let me illustrate
this by what l managed to see of the
