thc alaujrbttr-bouae. Thc fate of thcir eom
Minuna aoon became known to tha rap
tivea in priaon, and tbey trembliugly awaited
the devclopmente whirh were hourly expected.
Thrce daya latcr tbeir ranka wcre njrain dimished,
aud Capt. I"ry and hia brave rompaniona went forth
todcath. From thia time forward tbc priaoncra
were in bouily fcar for tbeir own aafcty. Thcir

tbeir death arrived, none of tbc Spar.iarda appeared
to load tbcm forth to exccution. and tbey were led
toauppoae that the day for thcir dcath bad becn
po'-tponcd. Again aud again waa tbia torture in
llKtcdupon tbcm, and cvery posaiblc means for in
< re.it.mg tbeir mcntal auffenug waa reaorted to.
In an interview with Commamler l'rainc of tbe
Jui.iata, Gov. Pc La Itoia of Hautiago plwlgcd hia
honor that none of the priaonera ahould kt r?moved
or executed until thc coinmander <,f thc Juniata had
n ceived duc notitication. (m tbat very uight tbc
prisonera wcre atealthily taken from the jail and
inarcbed with thc greateat haate to a poiutaeven
nnleabclow the city in the viciuity of the Mcrro.
Tbe road lay thxougb a roiigh tractof c<niLtry, and
thc journey was moat weanaomc, wbile aoine of tha
l : ,-.?.< i* were a/. aiik aa to be aluioat unable to
atand. Tbe autfcrinira of soine of the number
wcre intenae, and no pity waa In the
hreaate of tbe Spaniarda. At tbia point on
tbecoaat they were placed on boartl the ateamer
liaaan, which at once aet aail for Havana. At Man
ranillaitwae inet by the rnail ateamer eoming in
theoppoaite direction. On board tbia atearner waa
Ocn. Hurrid, who at once OTdered the Hazan to re
turn to Santiago. She tnrned t?bout, but aoon after
ran Tound, aud tbe paaatngext wtrt trai.^crred to
anot i r veaael.
U'-re they auffcrcd horrorf heretofore nnknown.
Tbcy were erowded in the hold of the reeeel, wbere
acaxcely a ray of aunhght conld atrnggle tn. Thc
air waa poiaon; the darkneea waa almoat rontinn
oua; the food thcy ate waa wretched in qaality and
inFnfficient in quantity; the wator they drank waa
what rcmained in tbe bocketa after tbe
ilumb animala on board wcre aatiaAetl.
Theae animala conciated mainly of horaea and mulea.
Tbey were kept on the deck above the Virginina
pnaoners. and were t hu* a oonstant aoorce of annoy
ance to the belpleaa creaturea confined below. It ia
aaid that in the midat of all thia filth and anffering
tbe phaonera were not allowed to waeh while oa
board thc Bazan for a period of 10 daya, and that
their arma were pinioned behind tbcm tbe btrger
portion of the voyage. They were occaaionally
beaten on the alightest provocation and aometimea
on no provocation at all. Theae puniahmenta. how
evc.r. aeem not to have been of a nature ao aericoa aa
to produce any laating effecto.
On the retorn to Santiago thay were remanded to
jail, and Commander Grimea waa allowed to viait
aome of the American priaoneie to make them aome
aligbt preaenta and to extend to them hopea of apeedy
reaene. Evcn thia privilege, bowever, waa aoon
withdrawn, and oo oummumcatiou waa afterward
allowed. A ahort time beiora tbeir delivery the
priaonera were removed from the jail in Santiago to
the Morro, aeveral milea below, where their treat
uicnt waa no better than before. Thia march of a
balf doren milea waa alao performed by night,
and many of tbe prieonera aufiered aeveTely on the
way. Tbe motive leading to tbia roarae of artiou
waa undoubtedly the fancied inaeonrity of tbe pro
onera in the Santiago jail. Tha United Statea raen
of-war Juniata, Kaneaa andWyoming, and the Niobe
of tbe navy of flreat Bhtain. were lying in the bar?
bor, and tbe tbreata ma<le by their (.ommandera
were received with reapect by tbe aaailydauuted
inbabitanU of tb* city.
Tbc gpaniah aoldieraare regarded rhthercontempt
uoualy by DtJttJ Hutea Navy offitera. and tbey bave
not fearcAl to exprea* tbeir opmiona freely. It wa#
feareil by tbe Hpaniarda tbat tbe tbreata of tbe
i.avai offitera migbt|be carned into executiou. and
tbe prieonera could eaaily have l>etn reacued from
their ionuer quartan. In tbe Morro their treat
meut waa aimilai to what had preceded.

from Santiago de Cuba. having touchcd at Matanzaa.
Shc reports all n'i'ct at both placeo, and that the
oaVaBJ wbo wcnt aakava were civilly treatcd by all
whoin thcv mi t. When thc Fortunc arrived at Fan
tiago Bnrriol was making prcparatinns to salute tho
American flag on Christmas Day, accordiag to tho
proviMons of tho Waabington protocol. He winhcd
to fir? the ealnte at the Morro, four miles below San?
tiago, but L'apt. Lowery of the CanaDdaigua inaisto*!
that it nbould be (ircd from fbe Spanirdi ?ar venacls
in thc barltor. Thc disagreement causcd eome difl
cusBion and correnpondence, which was happily
endcd by tbc amval of CaptCirecnoon the Fortunc,
with information from Wasiungton tbat thc salutc
had baag diaaagaad with.
Whcn the Fortunc wan at Matanra*". on Hatnrdav
laati thcic waB much excifcincnt mit thc oflicial
VtaM of Goloelal MiniHt?r Sdlcr. Fl.igs were dis

city. The Fortnne bronght ovcr I?udlcy Day and

Thc American Ogggg] at Syntlago gaUgfW that

1'inLa, iLicut.-Commandcr (Jorringc, returned from
Havana thia cvening. She arrived ihero on Ct?riat
miH Day, and remainod nearly four days. 8oon
afUT anchoring, a hoat approached with an ohTcer
from the Britishship Dan? ; then the Spanish llag
Bhip sent an ofheer on board with the eompliments
of the Admiral. These courtesiea were properly re
turnwl. Half an hour after the arrival of the I'inta,
a boat from the Engligh frigatc agnin approached,
thiB time bearing an invitatlon to the crew of tbc
Amcnran vcbm-1 to aChnstmaadinner on [the Dan.c
The invitation waa accepted by 12 of the crew of the
Pinta, and almott immediatcly another boat came
orer, with her bows loaded with good checr for thoee
AmencAn tars who were unable to leave the veaael.
Theae complimenta were fnlly appreciated by all on
board the. I'inta, and the Beamen ahowed thi ii ap
prociation of it by aeodiag to the British sallor*
liberal rations of pltig tobacco. The officcra of the
Pinta paid their reapeAta to the American Consnl.
and TJBited the opera and other places of mtereet iu
Havana, and some cvcn went to the Canino Kspaflol.
Their visit wae the subject of much Bpeculation, but
their reception was generally polito and kiud. The
Amerieana were ddighted to aee a veBsel of the
AmericAn Navy once more in the harbor of Havana,
aod were overpowenng in their attentiona to the
ofiicen wbo went ashore. The American reaidenta
romplain that no I'nited Btatea man-of-war except
the Pinta, which atopped there once befora for 25
minutea, haa ahown itaelf doring tho criaia, add they
Baythat the abaance of aaob attention fron onr
Qovernment hae not only emboldened the SpanlardB,
but inapind the Americaoa with the feAr'leat tbat,
in eaae of an upriaing, they wonld be unprotected.
It la thonght that eren now tbe>preaenc? of Bome of

No information baa been gathered aa to the
Rpaniah naval arrangemeata and the harbor fortifi
aationn of Havana beyond what haa already ap

expreae the opinion tbat their Uorernment will oer
