u.sgracing position ii the Federal army,
South American adrenturcrt did his best to
get permission from Gen: Weltzel to cross
over with his regiment aud y1ndicate the In
suited flag Of the United States. This is as 1t
WAS communicated to us.
Now for the facts. The gunboat In question
did not and could not haye fired In that dlrec-
ton; and II n shot was fired In that direction
It came from the OUTLAW gun playing on the
say, that when Maj. Gen. Neltzel wants to
have the flag Of the United States indicated

blot as this South American RENEGADE, who
seAs uoasted Ia this city that during tte great
struggle between the North and South lie re-
fused to take prisoners, but, contrary to law
and The pllglted faith Of the United States,
be murdered all who fell into Ills hands.
