I ty o'clock Con.

Despite! tho heavy tiring of the American troops, they were aldo to make but little apparent progress during tho morning, although eventually they steadily drew in and enclosed tho town on all sides. At noon it evident that the lire from tho covered way could not he stopped hy I he artillery alone and that no permanent advance could he made until tho pince was taken, and Cen.
