prolonged and painful consultation with his
officers. concluded to enter into stipulations
with Capt. Davis, and he subsequently sur
rendered to him as an officer Of the T. S.
Government.
AT the instance of Capt. Davis, the women
and children, numbering about 10, were re-
moved from the camp on the Goth of April.
The formal capitulation took place on the 30th
of the same month, and the troops set out on
the march to San Juan del Sur on the lst of
May.
The whole number of Walkers men, at the
time of surrender was 475; of these $50, in
cluding officers, were effective, l75 were on
the sick and wounded list, and 40 were ma
tives.
Provisions had been exceedingly scarce du-
ring the whole month of April, and the men
had lived chiefly on mule and horse meat
nearly all that time. Dogs, cats and other
animals were sometimes killed to furnish a
novelty.
The surrender of Walker did not please
such heroes as Col. Titus and Sanders, as
they began making speeches to the men, de-
claring that Gen. Walker had sold the cause
and embarked with the money The men,
glad enough to get away, did not care much
about the facts, SO they got out Of the coun-
try.
The day before Walker capitulated, one of
the men went outside the lines to look for
something to eat, and returned again in a
short time to his quarters, but being dscov-
cred in the act, he was sentenced to be shot
When brought out for execution, he said to
the men who were told off to shoet him,
Boys, will you kill me, and we about to sur
render2" Wherenpon the guard raised their
musEets and fred over his head The man
then started up and commenced to run; but
Major Rogers followed him, and with shot
from revolver brought him to his knees; he
then ran up to the poor fellow, and placing
his revolver to his head, blew his brains out.
The following melancholy details are the
sad closing Of the tragedy:
''lt is estimated that, during two years, Of
$500 enlisted or holding commission under
Walker, about 1000 were killed, or died of
wounds or sickness, 700 deserted, $50 were
discharged, 43C were at Riyas ON the Ist MAY,
and so IL garrison or on steamers on the river.
Total, 2465-leaying SO unaccounted for"
1t is positively known that he received no
less than 5000 from the United States. and as
only 1900 of these are accounted for BY de-
sertion, discharge and surrender, the others
must have starved, or been killed or died of
disease.

FROM NICARAGUA.
End of iIibustering--Eating Mules, HOr-
ses, Cats and Dogt.

The siege of Rivas terminated on the first
day Of May, and before night Walker had
taken refuge on board u. ). vessel Of war
The Costa Ricans managed the whole matter
very skifully, and let the work of starvation
assist their arms in driving the flibusters out.
Having effectualy cut Walker off from com
muhication with the United States, either bv
the Atlantic or Pacific, they harassed him
continually with attacks, every one Of which
decmated the number of his forces, and star
yation and deserti0n did the rest The fill
buster chiefs are trying to pat the best face
on matters that they can, and tell magnificent
lies Of their ewn prowess, victorious in every
fight, and yet defeated in their only object.
Making all allowances for these exaggerations
OF egotism and mortified feelings of dsap-
pointment, and we have the following facts,
as related by Gen. Henningaen German
flibuster:
Since the last adyices received here from
Gen. Walker, the Allies made an attack ON
the intrenchments at Riyas with force of
2600 men. The assault lasted six hours, and
was hotiy contested throughout. As near as
could be ascertained, the Costa Ricans lost
400 killed (flibuster COUNT and wounded in
Guiding 30 prisoners taken by Gen. Walker /;
one cannen belonging to the Allies alse fell
into the hands of the hlibusters. Walkers
/ total loss in this engagement, in killed and
! wounded did not exceed SO or 60 men.
From this time until the second week in
April, when Gen. Mora arrived and assumed
command of the Allies, no offensive opera
tons, to speak Of, took place on either side.
On the llth of that month the Allied forces
LED on, 1t was said, by deserters from the fill
buster camp, made desperate attack on
zen. walkers lntrenchments, and succeeded
IN gaining possession at one time of the lower
plaza. About $50 had entered that portion
Of the town, when Gen Henningsen succeed
ed in bringing three guns to bear upon them.
which moved them down with great slaugh
ter. About half Of them escaped and the
remainder being surrounded were Obliged TO
surrender. After a good deal of hard fight
ing the enemy was finally repulsed but not
without contesting the ground inch by inch
l03 prisoners in all remained in the hands OF
Gen. Walker after the fighting was over
The hopes of the flibusters were greatly
sustained by the constant expectation of relief
from Col. Lockridge and party on the San
Juan river, who were daily locked for. But
as, day after day, no news came from the San
Juan, the garrison in Rivas began to despair,
and were fast losing their spirits, when in
formation was received that Capt. Davis, OF
the q. S. sloop of-war St. Marys, had seized
the schooner Grenada, containing half of Gen
Walkers ammunition. Gen. Walker, after q
