Sketches at Cartagena after the Siege: scene of explosion of Artillery Park, 1874. 'The prolonged resistance of the Intransigentes or Red Republican insurgents of Spain to the military and naval forces of the Madrid Government at Carthagena is now an affair of the past. Some interest may yet belong to the subjects of our present Illustrations, which are from sketches made by Mr. Algernon Yockney, assistant paymaster of H.M. S. Torch, showing the condition of the gates and batteries, and outlying forts, immediately after the surrender of the town and the entry of General Dominguez. The place seems to have been a good deal knocked about, but there was not much loss of life. It will be remembered that the rebel leaders, with several hundreds of the men they had engaged in the defence of Carthagena, made their escape in two of the Spanish frigates. They arrived at the French port of Oran, on the coast of Algiers, where they were allowed to land, but were disarmed and placed for a time in confinement. The ships were, upon demand, given up to the Spanish Government'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
