els Joseph of Austria, and the Emperor Napo-
leon, announcing Maximilian's execution. The

who called to condole and to obtain the latest
intelligence.

Secretary of the Navy to-day giving news OF
the event:

FURTHER CONFIRMATION OF THE NEWS.
information received here yesterday, from
what is regarded as a trustworthy source, Is to
the effect that by decree of the Juarez Gov
eminent Macmillan was shot on the 18th
inst. at 7 o'clock, a. m, and that the friends OF
Macmillan asked the privilege of removing his
body for the purpose of sending it to Europe,
but the request was refused. Gen. Grant also
received private telegram from General
Sheridan last night containing substantially
the same statement 1t is believed that Juarez
reluctantly consented to the execution of Maxi
milan. When the messenger bearing dis
patches from our Government relative to
sparing the life of Macmillan delivered his
packages to Juarez, the latter Informed him
that he (Juarez) was disposed to spare the life
of Macmillan, but the pressure from Mexican
leaders and people for his execution was so
great that it would be almost impossible to
resist il.
