ceiyed Of her was that she gave food aud water
to the British brig Lola, on the 18th, forty miles
east Of the gulf of Campeachy The passengers
per the Lola report seeing, on the evening of the
18th, fire at sea, aud supposed it to be the

General Bueeta had started from the frontier

several skirmishes with the rebels, generally
beating them, but arrived at Santiago with only
few orderles owing to the heat aud fatigue. 1t

with Col. Capper's, and given battle to the rebels,
routing them.
The rebels are accused Of having entered un-
defended towns and murdered the detenceless
