During the hurried attack on El Caney and San Juan Heights, American forces, who had packed the available roads and were unable maneuvre, suffered heavy losses from Spanish troops equipped with modern repeating smokeless powder rifles and breech-loading artillery, while the short-ranged blackpowder guns of U. S. artillery units were unable to respond effectively.
Additional casualties were incurred in the actual assault, which was marked by a series of brave but disorganized and uncoordinated advances.
After suffering some 1, 400 casualties, and aided by a single Gatling Gun detachment for fire support, American troops successfully stormed and occupied both El Caney and San Juan Heights.
