The Diario de Santiago DE CuLa gives an &C.
count Of the escape of the Alabama from the San
Jacinto, ont of Martinique but altogether it seems
a cock-and-bul story, without dates or probable III
cidents. Ii gives conversation between the COM
manders of the two vessels, in which semmes says
to the other, q" have but 100 men and II guns; yon
have 500 men ard 80 guns; but if you compromise
yourself not to use your guns, will attack you,
board you, and destroy you which challenge the
commander of the San Jacnto refuses. the &C.
count then goes to say that Semmes buit an
affair of bamboo and dry grass, placed lights &C.,
and on dark night steamed directly past the San
Jacinto which vessel did not discover the fact for
three DAYS, when they learned tina, the Alabama had
destroyed an American schooner from ~. Pierre.
That the Alabama was there una escaped Tho vigi'
lance Of the San Jacno is about all the truth can
sift ont OF the canard. She was reported the other
day TO have burned an American brig OF GARDENS,
but think there wac no truth III the report.
