Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ...and deficient, being confined to the few available guns mentioned, and as for protection, it was limited, as stated, to parapets of sand and earth, merlons of barrels tilled with cement, and sandbags.1 The effects of the fire from the United States vessels were very slight, in spite ot their powerful guns.

On July 2 a sbjell disabled the carriage of a Hontoria gun. Many small projectiles struck the works and guns without doing much damage. The metal-roofed building, which was used as an ammunition magazine at the Socapa, was not touched. A 10-centimeter Hontoria shell of the Socapa battery struck the Texas near the bow, entering and exploding in the berth deck, killing one sailor and wounding six others. A 21-centimeter shell from the Morro hit the lotca2 and exploded in the officers' cabin without wounding any one. ' For these works of fortification special credit is due to Col.
