Page "Battle of Las Guasimas" Paragraph 20

The position at Sevilla, briefly occupied by American forces, turned out to be of little value for the aimed advance towards Santiago.

General Shafter considered installing his headquarters at La Redonda once the landing was completed, moving it afterwards to El Pozo.

The Spanish retreat did unbar the way to the strong points that covered Santiago on the east side, mainly Fort Aguadores, San Juan Hill, Canosa, El Caney, and Fort El Viso, where a set of bloody battles would be waged on July 1.

Many of the Spanish officers and soldiers that fought at Las Guasimas de Sevilla were to be in the fight again at the bloody encounter of San Juan Hill.
