OUR HAVANA CORRESPONDENCE.
HAVANA, May IL, 1855
Catalan Sense of Honor-Reedrd of Traitor-TAe Din
Given to Aunos, Chief of Police-His Atrociou.
Conduct to Pinto-Case of Mr. Thompson Ranored Is
cape Of Prisoners from the Ponton.
One of the numbers Of the Cronica published in your
city received per last steamer contains letter dated
from here which gives account o! dinner recently
given at LIE Grands restaurant to Munoz the Chief OF
Police AS however no mention made of the conduct
of Senior Munoz which procured him this high honor,
take Ieavethere being any of importance this
mornipgto recsptuate few Of this mans recent
acts which will go far to show how well worthy he ia Of
the compliment paid to bim.
Permit me to premise that the murdered Ramon Pinto
and MunoE were terms of intimacy much that
on the morning Of the Of the former Munoz seat
up hs to Pinto, who had not left his bed. He,
however instantly arose. and, hastily dressing HIMSELF
went down receive the whom he conceived to be
his friend speedily, though, he undeceived, for
as he entered the he arrested and placed 10
the cuatody of some of the harp;es of Muaoz,
who then commenced to search the house, betray-
ing by his want OF delicacy an absence of every
thing like genIemanly feeling. He not
ly tore open the private drawers Of Mrs. Pinto,
and with vulgar gaze examined into those little m,nu
tie OF her toilet which the refined cesms so
sacred "a to keep them from her husbands eyes,
but he compelled tie Misses Pinto to rise tneir
beds and with sheets their night ATTIRE to
witness this monsters search into all those little secret
OF which young ladies' are 80 partial each billet
doux and gage d'amour he found was narrowly scanned
in the hope of discover ng word or thought
pressed that might give him clue bY means OF which
he might make some important dis :overies
Then his conduct TO Pinto in the last hours OF
his hfe-hs constant desire induce the unfortunate
to betray those connected with him IN his alleged
within ave hours Of the time when Pinto knew that
must de then-asI mentioned IN a former letter-he
offered Pinto his life If he would betray hs supposed
confsderstes. But IL all in "Do not poster
me-" nobly replied the doomed et me die as ho-
morally as have lvedp' But Munoz, although thus
fooled Old leave his victim hut with him until
he ascended the fatal scaod For this conduct these
Caalaps have given Munoz public dinner and give
him Joy OF the honor done him.
Instead Of the Lieut.. Governor OF Ssgna IL Granie
having been dismissed reported some little tins
since, appears he has en- fsted and had high honor
done Kim by the authorities here He has returned t.
sagua Ia Grande where, suppose, it will be scarcely
possible for Mr. Thompson longer to reside Ia not this
pretty commentary upon Ms conduct of the present
administration of the government. OF the United States
is commonly reported that three or four prisoners
have made their escape from the Ponton have been
unable to obtain their names but hope TO 10 per next
steamer.
An order has been given that Spanish only is to be
spoken by the prisoners in the !onton.
Four days since, understand, the serseaots and
poras of the coOred and Of volunteers
ordered to obtain rscruits-vounteers, of
