NEw ORLEANS, Sept A.
The steamer Cherokee arrived this morang
from Havana. The passengers witnessed the
execution Of Lopez. They say he ended his
life .nanfully.
The totrl failure of the expedition is at
trbuted to the delay in receiving succor. From
the separation of Crittenden's command, the
patriots had dispersed to the mountains, only 80
remaining with Lopez. They left him, and
without single friend he wandered until run
down, and was then taken by blood hounds.
His last words were--S ADrEU, DEAR CUBA"
Gen. Pragay was killed at pogs
Spanish accounts say that of the numbe- in
the Pampero, [50o] IS have been already killed,
436 are IN prison, Of whom one hundred are to
be cent - Africa.
Lopez declared himself deceived with regard
TO receiving aid in Cuba
A meeting was held on board the Cherokee,
Gen. Lane, Of Oregon, presiding, and the follow
ing resolution passed.
sResolued, That Mr.. Owens, American consul
at Havana, has forfeited every right, and title OF
an American citizen--outraged every sentiment
of humanity and is deserving the execration OF
