A Monster.

The Panama papers bring US an accounts of
the execution at Valparaiso of man named
CambiasO, for series of most cruel crimes. I
He was a Lieutenant in the army stationed at
the Straits of Magellan, where the CHILEAN
government had its convict colony. On the |
29th of November, at the head of band of
insurgents, he rebelled against the govern
ment, and presently after he captured two
American vessels, (the Florida and Eliza
and cOldly murdered every person on board
ofthem. He is charged with committing an
unknown number ofmurders since; of burn
ing hospital and every person in it, of leav-
ing fifty menin a sterile place, where, but
for the accidental arrival of vessel, they
F would have persisted with hunger His fol-
lowers swore fidelity to'a red flag with skull
and cross-bones) bearing the motto 81 give
no quarter !" When he sliced possession of
the colony at the Straits of Magellan, he took
the Governor, clergyman and several 9TH
ers, and burned them to death, his followers
while this horrible sacrifice was proceeding,
dancing around the pyre singing the national
: hymn.
. For these various crimes he was tried con-
= victcd and sentenced to be degraded and shot,
! his body to be afterwards cut in pieces
Six of his followers were also shot. The ex-
ecution took place at Valparaiso on the 18th
: oflast month, April
! Cambaiso showed the greatest indiffer-
u ence to his fate, and from the place of execu-
e ton addressed an immense multitude. He
} freely confessed the crimes imputed to him.
It This monster was only about twenty-five
: : years Of age. The Panama Herald says CHS
q forehead was open, his complexion fair, his
, u hair dark and profuse. He had fine aqui
/ line nose, and red lips adorned with an am
pie mustache His face was almost covered
Of with beard. His stature was of the middle
a size, and more thin than stout, But his eye
d revealed the secrets of his heart and tolC
n. what nature hid under the beauty of his per
I'd son. He could never meet any ones gaz
as with frank and open look. His eyes wer
u viewless by his eyeashes, from underneath
er which he cast covert and piercing glance
like those of bird of prey. He appears
al fearful of fixing his gaze, lest he should re
de veal his secret thoughts"
