A small Cuban village and Spanish American War battlefield where modern weapons in the hands of a small Spanish force held up the advance of the vastly superior numbers of the 2nd Massachusetts Infantry equipped with black powder 45-70 Springfield single shot rifles. Less than 600 Spaniard held up the American advance of over 7,500 men for 12 hours before withdrawing. The US force had over 450 casualties. Smokeless powder had made the difference.
