O iLONKIa WOOHS' ADVANCE. Csptaln Grimes' battery pound a stea.iy llro lino the Spaniards to protect Colonel W,kk!s' advance. The dismounted cav alry paused on their way through the tangled grass and undexbrush and half way down Ihe hillside selected a good spot to halt, and from there opened and maintained for twenty minutes a hot fire. The opposing battert.s banged away, Captain Grimes ending a storm nf lend down Into the outer fortlfl.atlons and the Spaniards pounding away at the hill top with vicious persistence. Most of the Spanish shells went over the hill lops and fell In the ravine beyond. Here srvrnil detachments of the Cultan troops were stationed aa reserves and hefnr ihry could be moved seven In surgents were seriously wounded and several slightly hurt. At th same t.me two Americans were k.lled and nino wounded. Thr Spaniards us.-d smnki-lesb powder and shot with much more, ac curacy than during the previous engage ment. The wonder Is that many more lives were not lost, us the opposing bat teries were less than two miles apart. Colonel Woods' command behaved with great bravery, firing steau.iy and with deadly volley, with the enemy's shells sereet'hlng nnd bursting over their heads. Twenty minutes of fearfully hot work silenced the Spanish batteries. CA.NJi TAKEN. A way tt) th left General Lawton's divi sion, with Chaffee's nun and Capron's battery, was lu the meantime fighting fiercely with the enemy entrenched In and aNiut Caney. The Spaniards contest ed every Inch of tho ground bitterly and fought with unexpected coolne.- and outrage, but tho Irreslstubie onward movement of the Americans slowly forced them back on and beyond Caucy. About It o'clock a terrible lire from Capron's guns and the muskets of the men broke the Spanish line nnd a retreat began towards the line of the outer formica tions. The enemy took the trail known as the main Santiago road and Captain Grimes' battery linniedltitely beg-an pitch ing shells In ahead of tho retreating men, while a detachment of 2,000 Cubans, head ed by Garcia, wero started to cut off the retreat. No report has been received from them. A largo detachment of Gen eral Kent's reserves were sent to tho aid of Garcia In this work and It Is probable that llerco lighting occurred.
