" Agua Nueva was again seized and held. Colonel Belknap, with a reconnoitering detachment, went, March ist, as far as Encarnacion. Here were found " some two hundred wounded, and about sixty... Mexican soldiers. " General Taylor fur ther uses this significant, sadly pictorial expression : "The army [Santa Anna s] having passed on in the direction of Matehuela, with greatly reduced numbers, and suffering much from hunger, the dead and dying were strewed upon the road and crowded the build ings of the hacienda. " By hacienda is here meant the farms or small hamlets connected therewith. It is from this picture very evident that the victory was bloody and decisive. Santa Anna in his offensive advance had gone beyond his proper supplies of food, and hence hunger as well as the bullets of the Americans had fought against him.
