Inc reports IRON CuDa ior week
or two have been so contradictory
that it has been impossible to form
any satisfactory idea Of the condition
Of affairs there. One days report
says the force under Lopez had been
dis persed; another announces q
Spanish army defeated, Spanish
General killed, and the Cuban Gov
ernment struck with CONSERVATION /;
the third heralds the total destruction
oi the expedition, with the death ol
Lopez,
The schooner "Merchant," which
arrived at Savanna on the lst, repor-
ted that since the 18th uItimo, Lopez
and his army had encountered the
Spaniards in several contests, in all
of which the latter had been defeated
with a heavy loss, that Lopez was
marching upon Havana at the head
Of an army of 1900 or 1000 men,
which was daily receiving large ac-
cessions from the surrounding coun-
try.
Gen. Emma was killed in the battle
of the 9Th, at CaramboIa. His body
was sent by Gen. Lopez, with flag
of truce, to the Spanish camp. The
whole city OF Havana turned out at
his funeral on the 2lst. The Hava-
ma Hospitals are crowded with the
wounded. The Spanish officers were
dismayed at the rapid and fatal firing
of the Americans, saying they fired
four times to their once. The Amer
leans in Havana were greatly incen
sed against Mr.. Owen. The SaUdn-
nah Netos says the Spaniards admit
that Lopez army is now rapidly in
creasing, and the Creoles are greatly
eIated. One hundred guns were
fired in Savannah on the receipt Of
this news. which the Savannah pa
pers say is reliable.
The ast accounts are those
brought by the steamer Cherokee and
are to the effect following. This
despatch comes from New Orleans.
The steamer Cherokee arrived with
passengers who witnessed General
Lopez execution. They say he
ended his life manfully. The. total
failure OF the expedition was attribu-
ted to the DELAY occasioned from the
separation of Crittenden's command.
The Patriots dispersed to the noun
tains, only 80 remaining with Lopez.
They left him without single friend,
and he wandered until run down and
taken by blood hounds. His last
words were, "Adieu, dear Cuba 7"
General Pragay has been killed at
Pagas. The Spanish say of the
number in the Pampero $50 have al
ready been killed, and 436 are in
prison. Lopez declared himself de-
ceived in regard to aid in Cuba.
A meeting was held on board OF
the Cherokee, General Lane, OF Ore
gon, presiding. The following reso-
luton was passed.
Resolced, That Mr.. Owen, the
American Consul, forfeited every
right and title of an American citizen,
outraged every sentiment Of human
ity, deserved the execration Of every
friend of Liberty; and requesting
his recall by the Government.
Another despatch says:
The revolution in Cuba is failure.
All who left on the Pampero have
been killed or made prisoners. Lo-
pez was arrested and brought into
San Christoral on the 29th, and taken
to Havana on the lst, at 7 A. M.
One hundred and fifty-fve prisoners,
mostly Americans, are in the posses
sion OF the Government. The In
surgents are still in possession Of the
mountains near Principe. Laborde,
the Spanish Consul for New Orleans,
arrived in the Empire City. He says
he would have been Lynched had he
remained. Lopez was garrotted on
the lst, I55 men sentenced TO the
chain gang for ten years, and 100
sent to Africa.
