SECOND DISPATCH.

arrived day beiore yesterday, from
Havana. -
She brings the intelligence Of the
capture of Gen. Lopez, and the COM
plete suspension Of hostilities against
the Cuban government.
Gen. Lopez was executed on the
goth ult.
The excitement occasioned by this
news, in New Orleans, is easier ina
gined than told.
The opinion seems to prevail tha:
the revolution is at an end, particu-
larly as our government has taken
stringent measures to prevent the en-
barcation of forces.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. S, A. M.
As we promised, we send you fur
ther details from Cuba. Our city is
excited to the highest, and struck with
CONSERVATION at the result of the news
from Cuba. We have not been able
to get full and complete details at
present.
The steamer Cherokee arrived day
before yesterday, and brought the ex-
citing and startling news of the COM
plete suspension of the Cuban war.
The passengers of the Cherokee
Witnessed the execution of Gen. Lo-
PEI, and their reports are filled with
interest of the news from that quarter.
We learn that General Lopez died
manly, and as a true hero. His soul
was fixed for the freedom of Cuba,
and was doubtless misled by the re-
presentations of Cubans prior to the
invasion.
The failure of the expedition is at
tributed to the delay and separation
of Crittenden's command from the
main army.
The destruction of Crittenden's
force seems to have been the most fa-
tai to Lopez in weakening his army
and disheartening his men, besides
numerous other disadvantages occa-
stoned by the misfortune.
Several engagements took place
between the army of invasion and
Cubans, and the loss sustained on
both sides was heavy. We have not
been able to ascertain the loss by the
Spaniards, as that fact was cautious
ly concealed by the Cuban authori-
ties, but the best opinion seems to
place the number far exceeding the
loss by Gen. Lopez.
After the most desperate efforts to
succeed over the large number Of Gu
ban forces, the Patriots, except about
thirty men under Gen. Lopez, disper-
sed in various directions.
They left him alone, and he wan
dered about for some time without a
single friend, until ultimately overta-
ken by bloodhounds, which had been
put on his trail by the Spanish SOL
derry.
He was captured and brought to
Havana, and executed on the 3Oth of
August, which was Witnessed by ma
ny thousands with the most intense
interest. His last words were "Adieu
to Cuba"
We learn that Gen. Pragay was
killed at Pazos, but the particulars
have not reached us.
According to the Spanish reports,
of the number that went to Cuba on
the Pampero, SOS have been killed in
various battles and by execution, in
Guiding the Crittenden division.
The Cubans report that they have
now, as prisoners, 1896, and their des-
tiny is not known. Many here pre-
sumo they will be silently executed
though it had been announced before
the departure of the Cherokee, that
100 of those who are prisoners are to
be sent to Africa.
Before the execution of Gen. Lopez
he expressed himself, that he had
been promised aid in Cuba, and that
it had not been given him.
A meeting was held on board the
Cherokee before her arrival at this
port.
Gen. Lane of Oregon, presided over
the meeting. Speeches were made
and it was unanimously
Resolved, lst. That Mr.. Owen, the
American consul at Havana, has for.
feited every right and title as an
American citizen.
Resolved, I'd. That he has outraged
every sentiment of humanity, and de.
serves the execration Of every friend
of liberty.
Resolved, Sd. That the President ol
the United States be and is hereby re-
quested to rec all Mr.. Owen from the
further execution OF the office he now
holds.
New ORLEANS, Sept. 6, P. NJ.
The news from Cuba continues tc
engage the public with no less inte.
rest. Many think the war at an end
while there are others rash enough tc
engage further in the hopeless chase
The greatest solicitude is felt as to
what will he the fate nf the nrisnners
