New YORK, May 24th-7 M.
Gen. Lopez landed at Cardinals, about 90 miles
from Havana, on the 18th inst, with about 500
men, and took possession of the town. The gar
rson consisted of one company of so men, who
made but slight resistance They were driven
into a church, and after losing three men, sur
rendered. Gen. Lopez landed from the steamer
Creole, which left New Orleans on the 6th in
slant. Several other vessels, with 1900 men,
left New Orleans before the Creole, but had not
arrived. The greatest excitement prevailed ut
HAVANA; the city is under martial law, and sew
eral thousand men had been enrolled, and arms
distributed among them. The residents foreign
ers were all called upon to enroll.
Therelwere 800 troops at Man;anzas: 800
men were despatched from HAVANA to reinforce
them, and march against Gen. Lopez 1t is ru-
mored that the force under Lopez had increas cd
to 5000 men. He was already half way to Man
tanzas. On the 10th, news was received that
large force was collected on Woman's Island,
near Catospe, 1ucatan, and the Captain Gener-
al of Marines, with several vessels and 5000
men, Immediately started for that point.
The Ohio arrived at New York to-day. Just
before the Ohio sailed, il was known that some
ten or twelve vessels were i'll different parts of
the Gulf, probably to land simultaneously at diff
ferent points 1t was reported that Gen Lopez
had broken up the railroad al Cardinals, in sever
al places. The merchants and bankers at Ha-
wanna were removing their money to the fort for
safety.
The Ohio, Georgia and Falcon were compelled
to anchor at the entrance of the IIarbor. Capt
Schenck protested through the American Con-
sui to the Capt. General, and demanded safe
anchorage, which was refused and told he might
go to sea as soon az he pleased. None Of he
passengers except those who had got passports
were allowed to go ashore. No communication
was allowed between the passengers,-no ven
| between the officers until permit was obiaine i
| from the Capt. General.
The Ohio was obliged to wait fifteen hours
for permit to transfer her passengers. She
brings no late news from California, there hav
ing been no arrival at Panama since the Geor
ga left. She brought lat PASSENGERS Of whom
| 6 are from HAVANA. Sh" also brought $50 ,00t
dollars in gold dust and specie and $4,000 doub
looms brought from New Orleans TO Havana

LATEST FROM CUBA-The n. Y. Journal o
Com. has a letter which states that 500 meI
had been sent from HAVANA to Mantanzas tc
meet Lopez Commissions had been offered tC
citizens officers by military head, but it il
thought only intended to act in case the regula
troops are oyerpowered, The writer though
they would be poor defence. A call for NEE
ting Of the Cuban citizens in New York to da,
appears in one of the papers, on account Of tn
