FURTHER DETAILS or THE SURREN-
DER or WALKER.


DER or WALKER.
From n gentleman occupying an official position
who has just arrived from Gen. Moras camp in
Nicaragua, we have obtained the following additional
particulars in relation to the surrender of Walker and
his forces day two before the surrender, Gen.
Moras scouts Intercepted letter from Walker to
Capt. Faysoux Of the little schooner Granada direct
ing him the arrival of the steamer Sierra Nevada to
sieze her await his coming with his and that they
would then proceed at to Punta Arenas Costa
Rica and after sezing upon all the available property
then to set fire TO the town. Puna Arenas is the prn-
cpal seaport of Costa Rca and at the time there
were over 100 GEO quntals Of coffee stored there await
ing to be conveyed away and force present pro-
tect 1t. Gen. Moras fears were excited lest this
scheme should succeed Willie he celebrating upon
what cour.e to pursue in the matter Capt. Davis at
the request of Col Titus, arrived at the allied camp
to make arrangements for taking Walker and his men
away He made various propositions TO Gen. Mora,
and the allied Generals were called together TO consult
upon the matter Still fearing the success of Walkers
scheme TO seize the Granada and the fact of the
allied troops having suffered much from the cholera
and by the deserton of the Nicaraguan quota since
the battle Of Rivas, and believing Walker would be
able to cut his way through 70 San Juan del Sur Gen.
Mora agreed finally to allow Walker and sixteen of
his officers to go on board the slOop.of-war st.
Marys as prisoners of war. Capt Davis
then went to Walkers camp at Rivas and
informed him that he had orders from the
American Government to seize the schooner
Granada and deliver her up to the allied Generals
that Walkers only hope of escaping was to accept
the terms proposed as the allied troops daily
pectng additional reinforcement. Walker at this tine
was reduced TO three mules and two dogs for food.
Walker objected strongly to the terms Of surrender,
but finally complied He insisted that this surrender
should be made in the form of a convention. To this
proposition General Mora replied that he would not
degrade the name Of Central America, by putting his
name as Generalin Chief of the allied forces upon
paper with that of Walker if Walker chose to accept
his word of horror pledged to Captain Davis, that
hi. offer would be carried out honoraby; he
would give it and see him and his men safe
ont of the county. If not he would continue the
siege Walker accepted the terms and was sent down
to San Juan del Sur under the escort of Cen Zavaa
of the allied troops who saw him and his officers placed
| on the St. Mays as prisoners Of war. The Allies
then entered Rivas and seized all the munitions of
war there, including a large quantity Of arms and sew
eral pieces Of ordnance &c. During the progress of
| the capitulatoD, Gen. Hennugsen led blind
folded by Capt Davis to the house which forms the
| Headquarters of Gen. Mora, at Cuartro Esqunas.
| Capt Davis, in the interview with Gen Mora, was
exceedingly pressing that Cen Mora should come out
| and receive Hennngsen but he refused, saying he
| could not receive bandit chief, and he desired to
avoid any unpleasanness which might arise by telling
Cen H. that to lis face. There at the present
| time over 800 of the flbustcTs in Costa Rca mostly
sick and wounded They are dependent entirely upon
| the charities of the Government and people there.
Arrangements have been made by the Costa Rcan
Government to keep the San Juan River, and the
whole Transit route opes future for Commercial pm-
poses. All the old points along the river have been
refortiied and rev Notifications being erected at
other places, all Of which will be sronly garrsoned.
1t is almost certain that all that portion of Near
aqua south OF the River san Juan Lake Nicaragua,
and line west of Granada 10 the Pacific will soon be
annexed 10 Costa Rica the people being DESTROYS of
thus accomplishing this result and already the Costa
Rican Government gives material guarantee to the
world at large that she viii hold the river and prevent
in future any further aemps to establish fbusterism
| in Central America.
We learn that Mr. Webster the agent of the Costa
Rican Government in this country and through whose
prompt, energetic and udicous action and executive
ski the Costa Ricans accomplished their successful
coup de man in the seizure of the San Juan River,
and who has since ably attended to the interests OF
that Government here has received special dispatches
fom President Mora, announcing the termination oil
