The steamship Cherokee arrived !
about s O'Clock this evening, in four
days from Havana; she brings San
Francisco dates Of the 18th Of July;
81, GAO. $50 in gold on freight. and
SI65, 900 in hands Of passengers, Of
whom there are 200; she also brings
the California mails. She passed the
Empire City going into Havana.
The accounts from Cuba are OF the
most serious character. We are in
debted to the purser of the Cherokee
for the following fearful narrative.
The steamboat Habanero, while
cruising off place called Bahia Con-
Eda, forty miles West of Havana,
captured a party Of fifty Of the Pa
triots. who were in boats unarmed:
report saws they were steering for
New Orleans. They were brought
to Havana by the Frigate Habanero,
on Saturday morning. the 10th inst,
and were shot about l. o'clock the
same morning, on the public road in
Havana, in the presence OF about
%. 900 spectators; their corpses were
:hen dragged along the streets by
negroes, and then left to the mob.
who commenced stripping them OF
their clothes. and carrying them on
sticks through the city, yelling like
demons. 2sr as a
II appears the Patriots were Amer
leans, and many Of the Passen-
gers of the Cherokee, who were on
the spot and witnessed the execution,
were insulted in the streets in a most
shameful manner, and reminded, that,
their being Americans, they were all
; of a party who would meet with a
similar fate one OF these days. Such
was the excited state OF the poPuIa-
ton, that it was dangerous Tor an
American to be in The streets alter
night. The following are The names
of those executed:

e The steamer Falcon while on he
p way up the coast Of Cuba, fron
,r Chagres, was fired at three times b.
y the steamer Habanero, and was obi
ged to heave to, when she was boar
- ded by the Spanish officers. This
the third time the Falcon has bee
served in this manner.
The u. S. sloop-oi-war Albany
> was at Havana.
g We learn from the passengers o
q the Falcon that on the morning o
: the 10Th, when off Bahia Handa, tn
! Falcon discovered a large steam fri
gate in chase Of her, standing direct
IS Is across her bow; but she kept ol
is her course, and soon left the irigat
of s or 10 miles, astern, which proves
!. to be the Isabella Cathalica, former
. Iy one of Cunards steamers, Caledo
MIA; while she was still, in chase
= another steamer hove in sight, whicI
n also gave chase, and succeeded il
heading off the Falcon, and at frs
{. fired two shotted guns to the leeward
!. Of which the Falcon took no notice
n She then ran along side and fired
o third gun across her bows, thougI
+ she had the American colors flying
:. the chase then ordered the Falcon e
e heave TO, which was done, when In
A officers boarded her.
