The Civil War in Spain: Carabiniers resisting the Carthagena insurgents at Aguilas, 1873. 'Five hundred of the Carthagena men landed at Aguilas, and the only resistance attempted was by a small party of twenty-four Carabinieros, or soldiers of the Coastguard. These fired upon a detachment of the invaders going round a street corner, but nobody was killed or wounded, and the Carabinieros, seeing themselves outnumbered, ran away into the country. The Intransigentes levied their forcible requisitions at Aguilas, to the amount of 16,000 dols. They did the same on the 12th September, at Torrevieja, which is a small town on the coast, forty miles north-east of Carthagena, and not far from Cape Cervara'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
