me Nurder OF the Ftfty-twO.
The first narrative of this dreadful affair was
the true one, and the after accounts have been
trumped up. The following memoranda, pub
lished in the New York Express, tell the story
plainly, and the writer is entirely responsible:
"Arrived at Chagres, and left on the U. s.
Mail steamer Falcon, on the eve of the 18th of
August. On the morning of the 10th instant,
about ten o'clock, was shot at three times by
the small steamer Habanero, brought to, was
boarded, SC. The demand made of what ship
we were, where from, bound, sc. On bringing
to, the insolent minions of the Spanish govern
ment took the lead in taking off their hats
shouting, halloong, &C., at their success in
stopping U. s. Mail steamer with her ensign
and mailbag aloft. A request was made for
Captain Rogers to return with the officers on
board the Habanero, which he very coolIy de-
clined, stating that he was "going into Ha-
vana." Arrived Mt Havana on the same even
ing, about three o'clock. Boarded by the usual
officers, &c. Was Immediately informed tina,
ffty-two men were shot, at twelve o'clock, on
that day, forty of whom are represented as
Americans,) run down upon the high seas,
twenty-five or thirty miles from land, by the
same steamer the survivors taken into Ha-
vana, and in q few hours conveyed to the place
Of execution, insulted on their way repeatedly,
by both officers and men, and then butchered in
a most inhuman manner, several having been
shot at from ten to fifteen times, and then only
relieved from their misery by the use Of the
butts Of their muskets; thence dragged out like
dogs by the heels and thrown together, their
clothes being divided as spoils among the noble
(?) victors
