Since day before yesterday we have been
tbroyyn into great CONSERVATION, in consequence
Of The landing of Narciso Lopez, with large
number o. invaders. The first information re-
ceived was brought TO the Captain General by
the Capgm of - coasting schooner, who stated
that Narciso Lopez had taken two men. away
from his crew to serve Linn as pilots. Soon at
ter IN uffci. report was received from the Gov
ernor o. Mirel stating that steamer had been
in hat vicinity, end finally that she hgd landed
abou 400 men; likewise, two schooncrs with

TO grant no pardon, q feet Of which the invaders
are perfectly aware. fear It will cost great
sacrifice of lives, for they have no alternative
left but TO die The only man they have to
bring alive is Lopez. 1t is generally believed
that he will retreat to the mountains, ii he can
succeed, and from there direct his hostile move

had his horse killed under him. Col. Nadal, of
the regiment Leon, and several officers, were
killed. Gen. Emma soon perceived that it was
useless to sacrifice his men in such manner
without artillery; he therefore sent for more
troops, which soon after arrved-fve hundred
men of the regiment Galcia, and mountain
battery of four guns. The invaders. however,
did not await the second attack, but left the viii

Of them, taking prisoners and shooting them on
the spot. On Saturday they brought lilty-two
prisoners here, who had taken refuge in boats
all .of whom were shot day before yesterday,
near the fort Alares, in presence of an immense
number of spectators.
1t is said that about hro hundred and ff7y men
haze already been shot, and nearly that number
must have fallen in action !; the rest ofhem are
hunted dOuCn by the country people with their

and not a single indieidoal has gone over 10
them, which clearly proves that the invaders
find no more sympathisers among the people Of
this portion Of the Island than they did last year
in Cardenas.
