News From Walker.

The Steamship Adger brings news
from San Juan as late as the 18th. as fol.
lows:
Passengers from Nicaragua on the
James Adger give a gloomy account of
Walkers situation. The seizure Of the
transit route and steamboats, by Spencer
is confirmed. Spencer states that he
acted in behalf Of Vanderbilt. No iniu-
ry was offered to the passengers in the
captured boats, but they were escorted
10 Greytown, where the steamer was
boarded by an officer from British man
of-war, who ordered the baggage Of tho
men TO be put of Immediately. Spencer
kept the American fsg flying from his
steamer, although he made his captures
in the name Of Costa Rica. President
Mora had issued proclamation, granting
a pardon TO Walkers men and free pas
sage to the u s. Many of Walkers men,
officers and privates, were deserting =
They alltell hard stories of their suffering
from hunger and sickness. Walker was
at RivSs with 600 men. Another ae.
count says 1900 men. Spencer states
that the Costa Ricaas have 1900 troops
posted along the route. They are also In
strong force at Seragut, and have guns
posted on both shores. The report that
Gen. Henningsen had fought his way

hrmod, as is also the rumor that Gen.
Chiffon, with large body Of men, had
'pronounctd for Walker at Loon.
Walker, it is said, Fe.ook Rivas with
