The California news brought by the Georgia has
been Anticipated by the arrival of the Cherokee.

pendant Of Commander Tatnall, entered the harbor
previous to the sailing Of the Georgia, and TO

the same time and anchored at the mouth Of the

confined in the Moro Castle, and all access TO them
has been denied the American Consul. 1t is gen

easily taken off from Cardenas It was reported
in Havana that they were the picked men of JEFF

allowed to land. The Captain Of the steamer got
ON shore with much difficulty. The Captain OF the

soldiers (slthough he had passport) and paraded
about the streets for some time.
Out of the persons captured from the Lopez ex

some reason unknown. These men, it was said,
were not soldiers but sailors who had wandered
from the boat and had been left behind. They
were returning leisurey to the shore when they
were arrested and shot.
All the officers and men engaged in the fight
against Lopez were literally rewarded The Off
