CAMP WASHINGTON, J
(NEAR VEKA CRUZ.) /
April Ist, 1847. 3
On approaching the town I was struck
by its admirable defences. 1 can only
speak of the Northern side, but suppose
it presents the same appearance on all sides.
Jmiwediately around the town there is a per
fectly level space of about six hundred yards,
of perfectly open ground, and if we had been
obliged to storm the place, as I at one lime
expected, at least two thousand men would
have been cut down before we could have (
reached the ditches. The town is surround
ed by a continuous wall, probably fifteen feet
high, in front of which is a shallow ditch, made
shallow, 1 presume, purposely, in order not
to offer shelter to our men when in there
from their musketry; sufficiently deep and
wide to prevent us from leaping over, or gel
ling out witli facility when in them. At short
distances, perhaps fifty yards apart, are works
projected out from the walls, works called
Demi-Lunes, for the purpose of having a
cross tire and sweeping the ditches. They
have two faces and two flanks, ami are some- |
what of this form. [Here is a diagram.] ;
The tops of the buildings near the walls are ;
crowned by sand bag parapets to protect those j
using small arms. There are any number
of forts both within and without the walls of
the city. The lower part of the city, that is
the portion next to our batteries, is very
much riddled by our shells, several going in
to one bouse sometimes. The loss of life
was principally among the women and chil
dren, the slaughter among whom is said to
be immense, and this, [believe, produced the
surrender—the commanding officer being de
posed for his wishing to hold out. Among
those killed was the wife of the French Con
sul. All the female elite of the city were
assembled in the house of the Spanish Con
sul, hoping that flag would protect them, but
u. shell came into the room where they were,
and by its explosion killed dozens* All the
foreign Consuls are very much to blame
for persisting to remain after having been
told that we were about to open our batte
ries and that they had better depart, 'The
English Conors daughter is not killed, as
w-e at one time heard. At one lime during
I lie bombardment a parley was sounded, and
a request sent to Gen. Scott to allow the wo
men and children to leave the city, which he
properly refused, thinking that the retaining
them there would expedite the taking of the
place. When the bombardment was at its
height, we could hear distinctly the cries of
the helpless portion of the population, three
wiles off; and the gates bpitig opened a per
fect torrent of them poured out, and sal down
under the walls on the outside—thus avoid
ing our missiles.
It is a place of immense artificial strength,
and should uever have knocked under
without a desperate struggle. The non
combatants knew we were coming and
should have left; not doing so, the place
should have held out, even if every woman
and child was killed and every house level
ed with the dust. This, I consider, the duty*
of the soldier. What was the use of its
splendid armament? Not one twentieth part
of its guns were ever fired a shot, and the
quantities of ammunition are untold. To give
you some idea of its armament, the Castle
alone had upwards of two hundred pieces of
ordnance. I had almost forgotten to say that
} was very much disappointed by the appear
ance ot the famous Castle San Juan, it is a
lort that docs not overhang the town, as I
expected, but is on a level with it, perhaps not
ao high. It is only terrible to a naval force,
and cannot betaken by all the Navy of the
world, so Naval officers say.
