The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 2olh; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. BARMAN, K<"t-r nrH Publisher LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20. 1698. The First Land Fight. Compiled From It? ports. Juragua, Cuba, June 21?Dismounted American cavalry men forced their way over the rough mountain * oil ?>vc nr nmire and eLcountered the v an ~ - o . SpaDisb infantry in a deDse thicket on a high plateau almost overlooking the city of Santiago de Cuba, and routed them after a sharp battle, lasting oDe hour. This afternoon, strongly reinforced by the arrival of additional forces, the cavalrymen held a position a little more thaD five miles from the Spanish stroDgbold in Southeastern Cuba, preparing for a general movement on that city. Today's victory was not gained without the shedding of American blood. The initial fight of Colonel Wood's Rough Iiiders aod the troopers of the 1st and 10th regular cavalry will be known in history as the battle of La Quasina. That it did Dot end in the complete slaughter of the Ameri cans was not due to any miscalculations in the plan of the Spaniards, for as perfect an ambuscade as was ever formed in- the brain of an Apache Indian was prepared, and Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt and his men walked squarely into it For an hour and a half they held their ground under a perfect storm of bullets from the front and sides, and then Colonel Wood at the right and Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt at the left, led a charge which turned the tide of battle and sent the enemy flying over the hills toward Santiago. It is dow definitely known that 1G men on the American side were killed, while GO were wounded or are reported to be missing. It is impossible to calculate the Spanish losses, but it is known that they were far heavier than those of the Americans, at least as regards actual loss of life. Already 37 dead Spanish soldiers have been found and buried, while maDy others are undoubtedly lying in the thick underbrush on the side of the gully, and and on the slope of the bill, where the main body of the enemy was located. The wounded were all removed. Tilt AMDUSCADE That the Spaniards were thoroughly posted as to the route to be taken by the Americans in their movement toward Sevilla was evident, as shown by the careful preparations they had made. The main body of the Span iards was posted on a hill, 011 the heavily wooded slopes ou which had been erected two block houses. Hank ed by irregular entrenchments ol stones and fallen trees. At the hot torn of these hills run two loath along which Lieutenant Coloue Roosevelt's men and eight troops o the 1st and 10th cavalry, with a bat tery of four Howitzers advanced These roads are but little more thai gullies, rough and narrow, aud al places almost impassable. In I best trails the fight occurred. Nearlj half a mile separated Roosevelt's mei from the regulais, and between then and on both sides of the road in tbc thick underbrush was concealed i force of Spaniards that must have been large, judging from the terrific and constant fire they poured in 01 the Americans. GEN. YOUNG OPENED THE FIGHT. r"? j i it.. i?i me ngnc was openeu uv mo x?i and 10th cavaliy under Genera Young. A force of Spaniards was known to be in the vicinity of Le Quasina and early in the morning Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt's met started off up the piecipitous blufl back of Siboney to attack the Span iards on tbeir right Hank, Genera Young at the same time takiDg tb( road at the foot of the bill. Aboul two and a half miles out from Sibo ney some Cubans, breathless and ex cited, rushed into the Spaniards who were strongly entrenched Quickly the Hotchkiss guns cut in the front were brought tc the rear, while a strong scouting line was thrown out. Then cautiously and in silence the troops moved forward until a bend in the road disclosed a hill where the Span iards were located. The guns were again brought to the front and placed in position, while the men crouched down in the road, waiting impatiently to give Roosevelt's men, who were toiling over the little trail along the crest of the ridge, time to get up. SPANIARDS FOUGHT LIKE MEN. At 7:30 a. m. General Young gave the command to the men at the Hotchkiss guns to open tire. The command was the signal fur a fight that for stubboruuess has seldom been equalled. The instant the Hotchkiss guns were fired from the hillsides commanding the roed came vollef ?fter volley from the Mausers of the Spaniards. IIAKD TO OSLY. "Don't shoot until you see somel thing to shoot at," yelled GeneraYoung, and the men, with set jaws anH orleftmin.rr eves, obeved the 01 del'. e>"~ O -^ ---> - - 4 Crawling along the edge of the road and protecting themselves as much as possible from the fearful tire of the Spaniards, the troopers, some of them stripped to the waist, watched the base of the hill and when any part of a Spaniard became visible, ibej fired. TRUE AMERICAN GRIT. Never for au instant did they falter. Ooe husky warrior of the 10th cavalry, with a ragged wound in h s thigh, coolly kuelt behind a rock, loading and firii g, and when told by ooe of his comrades that he was wounded, laughed and said: "Oh. that's all right. That's been there for some time."' In the meantime, away oil' to the left could be heard the crack of the rifles of Colonel Wood's men and the regular, deep toned volley filing ol toe SpaiJiKti. COURAGE S.\\ ED THEM. Over there the American losses were the greatest. Colonel Wood's men, with an advance guard well out I iu front, ami two Cuban guides before tbem. 1 tit apparently with 110 flnLikers, went sqoarelv into tin- trap se., for tbeiu by tbe Spaniards and only tbe unfaltering courage of the men in the face of a tire that would evon mak? a veteran quail, prevented what might easily have been a disj aster. As it was. Troop L, the ad, vauce guard, under the unfortunate I Captain Capron, was almost sur! rounded, and, but for tbe re inforce incut huriiedly seLt lorwaru, every man would probably have been killed or wounded. WHAT KOCSLYLLT SAIL*. ' There must have been ncai ly 1, | 500 Spaniards in front and to the j sides of us, said Lieut. Col. RooscI velt today vvheu discussing the fight. I "They held the tidges with title pits | and machine guns, and had a body j of men in ambush in the thick jungle j at the sides of the yoad over which we were advancing. Our advance ! guaid struck the men in ambush and I drove them out. But we lost Capt. | Caprou, Lieut. Thomas and 15 men : killed or wounded. "The Spanish Hring was accurate, i so accurate, indeed, that it surprised j me: and their filing was fearfully j heavy." "I want to say a word for our men," ?

From another ofiicer who took a prominent part in-the figbtiDg more details were obtained. "When the filing began," said he, "Lieut Col. Roosvelt took the right wing with i Troops G and K uuder Captains Lewelen and JenkiDS and moved to the support of Captain Capron, who was getting it hard. At the same time Col. Wood and Maj. Brodie took the left wing and advanced in open order on the Spanish right wing. Maj. Brodie was wounded before the troops had advanced 100 yards. Col. Wood then took the right wing and shifted Col. Roosevelt to the left. "In the meantime the tire of the Spuuiads had increased in volume, but, notwithstanding this, an order for a general charge was given, and with a yell the men sprang forward. Col. Roosevelt, in front of his men. | snatched a rifle and ammunition belt from a wounded soldier and filtering and gelling with lfis men. led the advance. For a moment the bullets singing like a swarm of bees all n o # around them and every instant some poor frllow went down. On the light wing Capt. McClintock had his leg I broken by a bullet from a machine 1 gun, while four of bis men went ! down. At the same time Capt Luna I of Troop T lost nine of his men. j Then the reserves. Troops li and E ; i were 800 yards away, aud Col. Uoosci J velt 800 yards on the left, charged a I I block house at the same time. l"p | the men went, yelling like fiends and ? i never stopping to return the tire of I i the Spaniards, but keeping on with - : a grim determination to capture that 1 i block house. I??srEllATE CIIAKUE ?VICTOKW ' j ' That charge was the end. When within yards of the coveted point 1 the Spaniards broke and ran, and foi ; the first time we had the pleasure which the Spaniards had been ex 1 periencing all through the engage .( ment, shooting with the enemy in > I sight."

Captain C tpron's body was brought into Juragua this afternoon, but it was deemed inadvisable to send the remains north at this season and the interment took place on a hillside near the seashore, back of the provisional hospital. "After a brief service, a parting volley was liied over tue grave 01 the dead captain and a bugle soundid'taps'as the sun sank over the mountain tops beyond Santiago." UjVS OK TIIK NAVY RECEIVE NEWS OK THE RATTLE. The tidings of the first land fight in which American soldiers took pait in Cuba was quick to reach the camp at Juragua, and to travel thence to Daiquiri, then to the cruisers and battleship5, and within a few hours to the land and sea forces at Guantauamo. The interest aroused by the fighting was very great, aud the almost universal query was "Did we win?" Great regret was expressed ' for those who fell. LATEST REIVKTS. To General Shafter: "I have just seen two negro boys, who lett Santiago this morning (Saturday). They report that the scl dicrs and citizens are very short of 1 food. The soldiers and officers have seized all the food in the shops. They are killing young horses for ' food and in the hospitals are subsisting on bread made of rice Hour. Three Spanish generals took part 1 in the fight at Sevilla yesterday. Five wagon loads of wounded were cariied into Santiago and many f others wounded got there on horses ! or afoot. We can see Morro C.istle ; and the Hag very distinctly from our ' ? position, j ne uunans cuuunu iuc reports as to the line character of . the fortifications around the city. , Seven lines of bat bed wire are stretched around the trenches.

The armies of the United States and of Spain at e almost face I to face, and less than four miles apait. To-night the picket lines at certain points are within bailing distance uf the enemy. It seems certain that the battle of Santiago must come within a week. ncm&ek of on: i?eai? 1nceask1). General Wheeler in his official report places the number of dead in the engagement at Sevilla at twentytwo and the wounded as between seventy and eighty. rr** i e ii :?i : o lue Domes 01 ujiny nine djjuuiards have been found The Spanish loss in killed aud wounded was doubtless much heavier than that of the Americans.
