A3HIsToRY OF THE EXPEDITION
BY ONE OF THE PRIS ONERS.
The Gaceta Extra contains tho following
arrohpt Of tho expedition extracted from one
az the prisoners at IIayann:--
On the Both Of August, Francisco AleXan-
der Fame, ono of the pirates, was cross-cxam-
iitcd before the Military Commission as to
Lopczs expedition Tie declared that he was
4 native Of Cuba, and was in charge of the
property belonging to his mother, lie de
ClRred thar he left the Island, about February
:, 1919, with the intention Of going to Cali
forhia having previously gone over 10 New
Orleans, on domestic matters, and that not
receiving there the the pecuniary assistance
he expected from Cuba, he devoted himself
20 giving lessons in Spanish; he made the he-
uuaiuranGc OF I.opc2 ON his return from his
expedition to Cardenas, and as a native of
Cuba, was we'll received by hun. Lopez
promised to see him and 10 advise him and
u 3; other patriots WHEN the Expedition is
ready 10 sail, all of which patriots are dead
except one, who on the eve of the steamers
departure, was taken from on board 10y his
wife.

Lopez that what lie know OF the designs OF
the expedition were limited that the steamer
Pampcro sailed from New Orleans with about
600 mon; many remained behind for want Of
room others remained at the mouth OF the
Mississippi because the captain of the Steam
or declared thnt the steamer only drew eley-
en- feet Of water; thus all who had reprntcd,

which is the number that was landed on the
shores of Morilla; that his object Was TO go

artillery Which ne there expected, and thence
