Every house on the terraces of the town served as a masked trench, from_ which concealed 'rideinen raked every avenue of approach l°° the b1`id8'¢~ On a. prominent hill stood _ the church, a stone structure, whose solid walls and tower formed a veritable castle, commanding both cities and the surround~ ` 1118 country to the utmost range of the guns. on the IiiII@.`,beI1Ind au, rms pits and

ling, when Major Johnson, with two com- panies of the Forty-six, at-tacked these trenches. He succeeded in getting with- in three hundred yards of them before' being discovered by the enemy. The lat- ter expected to see their attackers it thous- _ and Yards away, and had their sights set

suddenly rose,apparently from the ground and came on with a rush, they forgot to change sights, and sent their first volley far into the air. Before they could change them, they went down before the rush of the Americans, and fled thorough Lemeri, acrossthe bridge to the protecting bul- warks of Tsai. `

Lemeri was thus won at little cost, but

the taking ofthe mountain stronghold be- yond was a different thing, altogether. I The foe was awake and alert, and had the range of every point from which the Americans could appear. And the made good use of that knowledge. From their sharpshooters came a hail of bullets every time a soldier appeared. From the church, particularly, the

blighting fire was most effective. The angel of death seemed to ride on the blast that poured from its loopholed walk upon the besiegers. To appear in the open I meant death; to rush' the bridge meant destruction by wholesale.

\Vhile daylight held, the force kept back

the attackers, and the fighting was con- fined to sharpshpoters on both sides.

But as the sun began to drop toward

I the long, sharp line between sea and sky, thi-owinga flood of light upon the hills and into the eyes of their defenders, the

I1 inch rifles upon the trenches and their defenders.

For an hour the big guns did their

.wot-k, while all looked in awe upon the. havock they wrought. The bursting shells threw up columns of dust, while mangled bodies and trunkless limbs, cast high in air, gave awful proof of their effectiveness.

\Vhile that was going on, the marines

, from the ships were landing, to join the |` land ftrce in the attack. This took place ' as soon as darkness fell, shutting off the view from the sharpshooteisin the church and hills.

The first move was for the American

sharpshooters to gain the protection of the wingwalls of Leineri and of the-

Q bridge. From this point, in the early

dusk, they picked of? the lookouts of the foe, and paved the way for the final rush across the bridge. This came after dark, with only the stars to light the way.

The position on the other side was 'not

Won without a struggle. The foe werea. determined lot, and fought with the des- peration of a last stand. They had staked their hopes on this position and would not yield it without a test. Their cannon ` were played upon the bridge ,but to little purpose. Their large smooth bores were for days when wooden ships grappled each other, side to side, and not a solid shot were fired through the cnemy’s ports

open air, at longer range, the bolts and scraps of iron with which they were

they could do was bruise. _

Still the foe fought stubbornly. They `

bridge only when the muzzles of the rifles were almost at their heads, and then only fell back to the next line, where the game stand was made.
