From Cuba.

The Boston papers of Saturday evening, pub
iished extras stating that intelligence had been
received from Savannah by the arrival of the
steamer Isabella, Capt. Rollins, announcing the
capture by Lopez of custom house treasures at
Cardenas, amounting TO some $50 900, and its
transmission TO the United States, the landing
of another regiment of 600 of the patriots near
Sagua la Grande, 20 miles from Cardenas, and
the rising of the inhabitants and troops in ia
yor Of Lopez, and focking to his standard.
This news was published both in n ew York
and Boston. The telegraph to the Evening
Gazette of Sunday reports it to be entirely
false.
The Isabel left Havana on the 22d. Gen.
Lopez, accompanied by one of his aids, Jesa-
chez Esnagn, took lodgings at the city hotel
From his statement, 1t appears that the landing
at Cardenas, and taking the town, was accom-
plished much in the manner before stated but
the troops being dissatisfied with their warm
reception, and having lost time in getting fuel,
and conveying the wounded men on board the
Creole, which was to return for reinforcements
they became disheartened, and insisted on go
ing to Key West. They were closely pursued
bp the steamer Pizarro, but fortunately es-
capped.
A letter in the n. Y. Journal of Commerce,
dated Havana, May 10th, states "the troops
are all held in readiness for march at a mo-
ment's warning, and to supply their places the
government has commenced organizing mill
tia or volunteer force The Condo Marisor is
said to have the lead and organization of this
force.

reached town that Gen. Lopez, with 1900 men,
had landed at Cardenas on the night previous,
and before ten, special train left Havana with

morning and l observe squads of we'll dressed
citizens passing the streets with muskets, ap-
parently on their way to some point of organi
cation for the duty already suggested
