Extract ola letter dated Hapana, jane 20.
Last Friday. the 10th, the city wit
messed the most alarming and inhuman acts
ever committed. Not less than seven
peaceable inhabitants fell victims to the
poniard of band of assassins, who to the
shame Of upwards of 100000 inhabitants
still remain undiscovered. A friend OF
yours was arrested that night, and robbed
of his watch and what money he had about
him, and fortunately saved his life by
giving what they chose TO take from him.
We witness these scenes almost every day,
and no one has courage enough to de-
nounce the villains for fear of their re-
sentiment. Thus you see that the Span-
iards are not greatly enlightened, or amel-
iorated by the Constitution. Pint. Gas.
