Mora, in the despatch which we give elsewhere,
says that he dislodged the enemy from th4ir
position and in this particular he .aay DC
worthy Of credit. But in al else, in his des.
cription Of the fight of the fiIibusters, in his
sly aIlusioa to z the 500 Costa Ricans Sho en-
tered into action" in his est nate Of the results
Of the action. he needs confirmation. Our I'M
preston is that Schlessinger did abandon The
position he had taken On being attacked by a
vastly superior force that be fell back in or
der to pursue q new line of attack, and peri Nps
to leave 10 Gen. Walker the real glory Of the
campaign. As to defeat by the numbers given,
it is simply absurd.
Whether the twenty Tor nneteen) prisoners
we're shot by the Costa Ricans remains also
to be established on good evidence. Such
piece Of Darbarity would not only alien
ate from the Costa Ricans the good vii. of
every nation In Europe aud America. but
would rouse such a spirit Of vengeance
among the Americans in Central America a.
would very rapidly dispose Of General Mora
and his government. /. may possibly he &C.

modern Spanish character has los. nothing Of
its old bioodthirstiness; the unlucky example
OF Cuba, on the oocasi On o. the Lopez expedi-
tion may also have produced some effect. But
il ia to be hoped the story Is exaggerated

not need that bis enemies should place them
selves beyond the pale Of human sympathies
