American commander Bowman H. McCalla secured Fisherman’s Point in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and a few days later 160 marines under Captain George F. Elliot and 50 Cubans led by Colonel Enrique Thomas attacked the Spanish on the nearby Cuzco Hills. Supported by naval shelling, the marines won a costly action and the Spanish troops fled towards Guantánamo City.
