I.ater from Haxnna.

By the steamer Cherokee Capt. Windle, from
New Orleans via Havana, we have papers from the
latter place to the 10th mat inclusive. They con-
tain letters of congratulation and loyalty from va
rous parts of the island, and especially from the
points recently visited by the invading expedition.
The Gdceta of the 10th says:
'sAbout nine O'Clock last evening his excellency
the 01yeFnor Captain General, Jose de In Concha,
arrived here in the railroad train, after visiting the
towns of Cabanas, Bahia Honda, Las Pozas, San
Cristoval, Candelaria, Guanajay. and San Anto-
MO, in all of which he was received with the most
expressive demonstrations of enthusiasm by the
faithful inhabitants"
A Spanish frigate sailed from Havana on the 10th
with one hundred and fifty of the American prise
ners. At the same time there were left twenty
six sick and wounded in the hospital and twenty
seven others confined in the punta. Eight of the
latter taken in the mountains, in a complete
ly destitute condition.
A few days previous to the sailing of the Chero-
kee the British consul had nterceded for the pris-
oners, and had procured mitigation of punish
ment 30 far to get the chains taken from their
limbs.
Forty five of the American prisoners remain
still in the prison at Havana. They had published
card of thanks to the officers of the United States
sloop-of war Albany, to the manager of the prison
the British consul, and to the resident Americans
in which they express their gratitude to each for
the kindness and sympathy expressed, and the
measures taken in their behalf. But in another
card they condemn, in the strongest terms, the
conduct Of MIR. Owen, the American consul.
Cuba was perfectly quiet, and the prospects o.
business were getting better.
The inhabitants of Havana have raised about
eighty thousand dollars for the benefit of the
widows and orphans of the Spanish soldiers who
fell in the engagements with the troops under
Lopez
The subscription of one of the Havana firms
amounts to the large sum of twenty thousand dol
lars.
The funeral obsequies Of the slain were celebrated
at the Cathedral, at Havana, the 9th with great
pomp.
At benefit at the Tacon theatre over eight
thousand dollars realized. On the 9th grand
TIE Deum was performed at the Cathedral in honor
of the deceased On the same day the troops were
reviewed, and General Concha decorated many Of
the participants in the late engagements.
Don Francisco Gonzales Gorantes and Don Jose
MEGA have been outlawed for secreting arms.
