Capture Of The FTlibmster Force under Col. Ands,
son by the Susqushanna.
The Aspinwsll correspondent of the New Yors
Times, under date OF the 4.h inst, gives the follow
ing account of the surrender of the last OF the fill
busters:
The most important news have to communjca,.
by this mail is the capture by Capt. Sands of III.
United States steam frigate Susauehanna, of the
balance of the filibuster force under Col Anderson
and their arrival of the 30h ut this port in the
| U. S. war steamer Fulton Capt Almy. This was
the party which assembled the Colorado into the
San Juan river and totk possession of Fort Castillo
Capt. Sands in the capture of this force, went to
still further extreme than did Commodore Pauld
ing in landing on Punta Arenas. He assembled
the river San Juan into Tie interior Of toreGR ma

came to an understanding on their differences aud
sent four hundred men to San Carlos at the en-
| trance to the Lake, and one hundred TO Castillo.
Anderson. finding himself closely pressed and lk Q.
ly TO be more so, his stores being short, prepared
the steamer Ogden, embarked his men on her, aud
then wrote to Captain Sands, asking his views in
regard to his surrender. Captain Sands replied
they came and delivered up their arms. Subse-
auently Anderson spiked his cannon, burned all
the buildings about Castillo, destroyed the nachi-
merry OF steamer at the Rapid, understood to be
the Virgin, and having killed all the cattle aud
plundered all the merchandise within reach, start
| ed down the river. Captain Sands came upon them
under these circumstances, nine miles up the river
in the steamer Charles Morgan, full of armed men,
and captured them without any resistance, of
course. The Ogden was placed in charge of Mr..
Cottrell, United States consul at Greytown, who
has also charge Of the Charles Morgan until right
ful ownership in them Is shown.
| Capt. Sands thinks there Is little irregularity
| in the extreme measures he took, but as he was
sent out 10 break up the fillibusters, he thought
this conrse tho shortest, and the likely
| trouble and suffering on all sids'.
| The hlibusters have sbeen transferred from the
Fulton TO the Wabash, and the latter vessel sails
with them to-day for the United States, calling in
at Boca del Toro and Greytown. Some twelve or
fourteen of them are sick from fever.
| The Fulton will remain in this port for the pres
| ent She has twenty-five men on her sick list
principally her working men, whose services she
could scarcely do without at sea. and this 10 the
main reason why she, instead Of the Wabash, does
not take home the filibusters. During the greater
part of the time that the Fulton has been on this
| coast the rains have been very heavy, and the
men much exposed. At one time Capt. Amy laid
eight days Off the mouth of the Colorado, the rain
falling two:thirds of the time In torrents.
| Col Andersen explains the matter of breaking
/ the machinery of steamer in this way. He says
he unscrewed the cylinder-head, packed 1t into a
box and took il into the woods and bid 1t, so that
the ''snemy" could not use the steamer, as he ex'
pected Walker might be able to return, and would
want her himself. The following is complete
