FROM THE SANE PAPER.
The Cuba News is the sole topic for reading OF
writing. We see by comparison this morning na'
all the accounts are to be received with more or
less sitting, as all come red with the passions
Of the narrators. The Spanish papers, one side
tells US, are not at all to be believed; but up 20
this time the fact is the Spanish papers alone nave
been nearest the truth, though no doubt tney .eh
only one side, and that is their side. They tell US
to-day that Lopez is on flight TO the mountains
give us particulars that look true, which are con-
frmed by the fact that his little army has been d.
vided, cut in two, and part Of it shot in Havana.
They DENY, too, any Of the atrocities our naFrators
report at the scenes of the great execution. They
represent without any Of the horrors we hear OF.
II may be, then, that these accounts are made up
but 70 indame passion in the United States 10

pediions. All these accounts are certainly 10 be
received with caution.
