ROUGH RIDERS BATTLE
INITIAL BATTLE FOUGHT IN INDIAN STYLE.—THE DEATH
LIST INCREASED.
-
(8IXTEEN AMERICANS KILLED AND SIXTY WOUNDED.
UKWKV AOAIM HKAUV »HUM SITUATION AT MA.11LI.A
The initial light of Colonel Wood's rough riders and troops of the
First and tenth regular cavalry will be known in history as the battle of
La Quasina. The baitle took pluce Saturday, June 26th. That it did not
end in the complete slaughter of the Americans was not due to any miss
calculation in the plan of the Spaniards, for as perfect an ambuscade as
was ever formed in the braiu of an Apache Indian was prepared, and
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt and his men walked squarely into it. Koran
hour and a half they held their ground under a perfect storm of bullets from
the front and side, and then Colonel Wood at the right and Lieutenaut-Col
ouei Roosevelt at the left led a charge which turned the tide of battle and
sent tbe enemy Hying over the hills toward Santiago.
It is now deflnitely known that sixteen men on tbe American side were
killed, while sixty were wounded or reported to be missed. It is impossi
ble to ealculutc 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 thirty seven dead Spanish soldiers have been found and buried,
while many others undoubtedly are lying in the thick underbrush on the
side of thegull>, where the main body of the enemy was located. The
wounded were all removed.
Thai the Spaniards were thoroughly posted as to the route to be taken
by the Americans in their movement towards Sevilla, was evident, as shown
by the careful preperutious they bad made. The main body of Spaniards
was posted ou a hill, ou the heavily wooded slo|iesof which had been er
reeled two block bouses Hanked by irregular intrenchmeuts of stone uud
fallen trees. At Ibe bottom of these hills ruu two roads, along whieb Lieu
tenant L'olnuel Roosevelt's meu and tne troops of the First and Tenth cav
alry with a battery of four howitzers advanced. These roads are little more
than gullies rough uud uurrow and at places almost impassable. Nearly
a half mile -o perated Roosevelt,s meu from the rrgulurs and between them
and ou both sides of tbe road in the thick underbrush was conceited a force
of Spaniards that must have lieeu large, judging from the terrible aud con
slant lire they poured in on the Americans. The Bring was opened by tbe
First and Tenth cavalry uuder General Young. A force of Spaniards was
kuowu to be iu the vlei nil) uf La Quaaiua, aud early lu the morning I.leu
I maul Colonel Roosevelt's, men started off up the precipitous bluff back of
Hits n •) to attack the Spaniards on their right Bauk, General Young at the
same lime taking the road at the foot of the bill.
Alioul two aud a half miles out from Sibouey some Cubans, breathless
aud excited rushed Into cautp with the announcement that the Hpauisrds
were but a little way In front aud were strongly entrenched. Quickly the
Hotchkiss gnus were brought to the rear1 while a strong soouttug division
was thrown out. Then cautiously aud lu silence the troops moved forward
ouiil a I wad in the road disclosed a hill where tbe Spaniard# were located
The guns were agaia brought to the front and placed lu position, while the
men crouched down iu the road waiting impatiently to give Roosevelt «
men, *bo were toiling over the little trail along the crest of tbe ridge,
lime to get up
At 1:1V a. m General Young gave the command to the men at the
Hoti-okla* guns to often Art The command was tbe signal for a Aght that
for stubbornness has seldom b<*an a fueled.

I
ootid be* heard the crack of the rifle* of Colonel Woods’ men and the regu
lar, deeper toned volley firing of the Spanish. *
Over there the American losses were the greatest. Colonel Wood's men
with an udvance guard well out in front arid two Cuban guides before them
but appcarently with no Hankers, weDt squarely into the trap set for them
by the Spaniards, arid only the uufaiiltering courage of the men in the fact
of a (iglil that would even mtikcu retern quail, prevented what might eus
ily have been a disaster. As it was troop L, tbe advance guard under tin
unfortunate Captain Capron, was almost surrounded and but for the re en
forcements hurriedly sent forth every man would probably have been kill
ed or wounded. There must of been nearly flfieen killed or wounded.
In tbe meantime the fire of the Spaniards had increased in volume, but,
notwithstanding this, un order for a general charge was given, and with s
yell the men sprang forward. Colonel Roosevelt, in front of his men,
snatched a ride and ammunition belt from a wounded soldier and cheering
and yelling with his men led the advance. For a moment the bullets were
singing like a swarm of bees all around them and every instant some pool
fellow went down. On the right wing Captain McCIlntock had his leg
broken by a bullet from a machine gun, while four of bis men went down
At the same lime Captaib Luna of trdop K lost nine of bis men. Then
tbe reset ves, troop K and F, were ordered up. Colonel Wood, with the
right wing, charged straigut at a block bouse 800 yards away and Colonel
Roosevelt, on the lett, charged at tbe same time. Up tbe men went, yell
ing like fiends and never stopping to return the fire of tbe Spaniards, but
keeping on with a grim deteimin%Mon to capture tbat block bouse. That
charge was the end- When about &o(Tyards of the distance was covered
the Spaniards broke and ran and for the first time we had the pleasure
which the Spaniards had been experiencing all through the engagement,
of shooting with the enemy in sight.
