SummaryResumen
Colonel Harry Betancourt, who served under the anti-government banner, recounts the machete cavalry charge at the battle of La Vega, where about a hundred men on each side, half-clad rebels with spurs strapped to naked ankles, fought hand to hand with cane knives in place of sabres. He says seventy-five per cent of the combatants on either side were killed or disabled, that he was the only United States citizen holding a command, and that three battles were fought that day around La Vega, with an interval of two hours between each.
El coronel Harry Betancourt, que sirvió bajo la bandera antigubernamental, relata la carga de caballería con machetes en la batalla de La Vega, donde unos cien hombres de cada bando, rebeldes semidesnudos con espuelas atadas a los tobillos descalzos, lucharon cuerpo a cuerpo con cuchillos de caña en lugar de sables. Dice que el setenta y cinco por ciento de los combatientes de cada bando resultaron muertos o incapacitados, que él fue el único ciudadano de los Estados Unidos con un mando, y que ese día se libraron tres batallas alrededor de La Vega, con un intervalo de dos horas entre cada una.
