With war in Cuba virtually over, American General Nelson A. Miles took 3,300 men against Puerto Rico, landing at the southern port of Guánica. Supported by General Guy V. Henry, Miles defeated the Spanish garrison, killing four without loss to himself, then started east towards Ponce. However, news of peace arrived and Puerto Rico was later ceded to the United States.
