As we promised, we send you further
details from Cnba. Our city is excited to
the highest, and struck with CONSERVATION
at the result of the news from Cuba. We
have not been abe to get full and complete
details at present.
The steamer Cherokee arrived day before
yesterday, and brought the exciting and
startling news Of the complete suspension
of the Cuban war.
The passengers of the Cherokee witness
ed the execution of General Lopez, and
their reports are filled with interest of the
news from that quarter.
We learn that General Lopez died manly,
and as a true hero. His soul was fixed for
the freedom of Cuba, and was doubtless

prior to the invasion.

Spanish soldiery.
He was captured and brought to Havana
, and executed on the Both of August, whicl
was witnessed by many thousands with tn,

''Adieu dear Cuba"
We also learn that Gen. Pragay wa
