and captured by some sixteen Catalans.-
He surrended, cXclaiming-''Kill me, but
pardon my men!" When captured he had
scarcely the strength to stand up. He was
taken to Bahia Honda, and kept there until
the garrison could be reinforced. On the

and the order for his execution issucd.-
When he arrived there he was so weak that
he could scarcely sit up. When the Gene
raj was taken from the steamer and placed
on shore, to the surprise of his guards, he
stood up erect, and marchcdto the place of
execution, with bold and manly port. His
demeanor evinced the utmost coolncss. man

Just before his death he made a short adj
dress, in which he stated that his intentions
looked to the advancement and happiness Of
the people Of Cuba; that the mpntation Of
plunder and piracy was a calumny; that he
had meditated no greater crime than that of
seeking to secure Free Institutions for that

.R0ndoy Morning, Sapt.-Oa Board the
Ctrokee-I have just witnessed the last mo-
ments Of Gen. Lopez. At precisely fifteen
minutes past he was launched into eterni-
ty, by being garroted, before an assembled
multitude OF at least 5000 persons. At I
o'clock he was led from the Castle, accom-
panied in person by his confessor, and led
| bya rope, with his arms tied behind him.
He walked with bold step, and answered
with firmness the confessor. He was fol-
lowed by some eight or ten of the priests in
black gowns; Lopez himself being dressed
in white pants, kind OF white frock, reach
ing to just below his knees, with a white cap
upon his head. He asccnded the scaiiold
which was ten feet high, and sat himself in
the seat of the garrote. His confessor pre-
sented the cross to him; he took it, and arose
and addressed few remarks to the people
in Spanish. Iknow not what they were; the
only words did understand were his last
words which were, ''Adois Isla de Cuba. -
He then sat in his seat; the collar was lasten.
ed around his neck and in one moment he
died without a struggle. So thus ends thi,
brave Lopez.
AS soon as he was garroted the low rab.
bic commenced cheering and rejoicing. Thi.
was not done among the troops, stooc
in the midst of them, and not one word o
cheers passed from the soldiers; obscrv
ed the officers shake their heads and swords
at the troops to keep silence when the cheer
ing was going on.
The execution took place on the '.Funta,
in the midst of a hollow square about th'
size Of Lafayette Square, in the middle o
which the scaiIold was built, where the bod,
