LAST HOURS OF GEN LOPEZ

The New Orleans Delta gives the following as ar
" authentic" account of the capture and execution
Gen. Lopez, on the authority of citizen of New
Orleans, (Mr. Dugournay) who was in Havana du.
ring all the events Of the expedition
"Mr Dugournay was in Havana during all the events
Of the expedition, down to the execution of General
Lopez He says that the failure of the expedition was
due to the delay caused by the separation
of Crittenden's command, which kept General Lopez
for two DAYS PoZas and led his friends in the
try to believe that he had been defeated that subse-
quenly, Lopez had several actions, in which he was
victorious, placing at least thousand Spaniards
hors du combat and suffering loss himself. The
rapid concentration of the troops in the neghborhood,
cut off his communication and prevented the people
from joining him.
At last, by repeated attacks and marches. their
ammunition being exhausted, and reduced to the
lowest stage of suffering and starvation the men were
divided, but thirty remaining with Lopez. These
wandered about for sometime, until last they were
begged by the General to abandon him, they might
have some chance of making terms with the Govern
ment If they surrendered,-but there was chance
if caught with him. He also added that his fate was
certain-he would be garroted. it would doubt
help the cause-but he desired that they should es-
cape. Finally, he left them, accompanied by one
faithful friend. Wounded in the shoulder,-fant and
exhausted from fatigue and loss of blood, he wandered
about, until at last he pursued wi blood hounds
and captured by some sixteen Galatians. He
dered, eSclaimin ing Kill me, but pardon my menu
When captured, he had scarcely the strength stand
erect. He taken to Bahia Honda, and kept there
from that place. On the 3Ist he taken in the Pr
Havana, and the order for his execution is
sued. When he arrived there he was weak that
he could scarcely sit up. On the day of his execu-
ton large military force was drawn up, and all the
cannJns of the forts fully manned and directed
towards the place of execution. When the General
taken from the steamer and pa eed on shore, to
the surprise of his guards. he stood up erect, and
marched TO the place of execution, with bold and
manly port. His demeanor evinced the utmost COOL
ness, manlness, and dignity.
Just before his death, he made short address, in
which he stated that his intentions looked 10 the ad
vancemen and happiness of the people Of Cuba that
the mputation of plumber and piracy was calumny
that he had meditated greater crime than that of
seeking Free Institutions for that people,
and he willing TO meet his fate. Before, how
ever he had concluded he forced into the earotte,
and his last words, which uttered in loud tone,
were
"ADIos CUBA QUERIDA''-''ADIEU, DEAR CUBA"
Such is the relation 10 US of Mr.. Dugourney, whose
honor and truth will not be doubted in this city,
which he learned partly from actual knowledge and
observation, partly from of the prisoners, and
partly from the guards at the execution of the General
