There is little doubt that the cause
of the patriots is gaining ground, al
though the vigilance of the authorities
has thus far done much to prevent the
truth from transpiring The moment
the enterprise of Cuban freedom assumes
form of probable accomplishment
thousands will flock thither who are now
deferred by the possibility of being shot
as pirates. There are now 700 patriots
under arms, and the Echo learns that

Havana. There they were tried, SEN
fenced to death, and shot in an open

Gen. Lopez marched against the Gu

miles from Havana, he was met by n
large body of troops. A battle ensued,
and a large number of the Cubans were
killed, among them the Commandant-
general,
A very strict vigilance is kept over
all Americans on the island, and pass

1t is also stated that the Spanish sol
diers, not content with the blood of the
Americans who were executed, brutally
stripped them, and placing their hats
and clothing upon slaves, carried them
through the streets, with shouts of in

probable that, despite the vigilance of
