He had Just received and read orders from General Mena when the enemy's nearest Maxim, having moved farther to the left, began raking tha hitherto half-sheltered spot. General Blandon's body wa.4 accompanied to the rear by Colonel Tloche, who declared that Mena had ordered Blandon 'to abandon the right wing and reinforce the left wing, which had been unable to make any progress against the government's position.

Colonel Conrad dismounted the gun and the column began to move for a new, position in plain sight of the enemy, which quickly took advantage of the situation. General Mena saw the mistake and galloped to the front of the moving column and ordered It back to its original position, which it was intended to hold at any cost. But the time lost was fatal.

The retreat to Moogan, ten miles distant, was conducted in perfect order, the'enemy pursuing.

The loss to the government troops is believed to have been considerable. Four of Gordon's Americans were the last to leave the position of attack. Had General Zeledon with his four guns and 200 men arrived Mena undoubtedly would have taken the aggressive, but Zeledon being late, Mena attempted only to hold the enemy's attention, deceiving them as long as possible as to the size of his force and thus weakening the resistance to General Chamorro.
