broken up-DetaIlS OF the Capture OF
the Men-Ryan's Flight.
From every direction reports arrive of
fresh disasters To the Cuban filhustering
movement which originated in this city.
The latest reverse which the patriots have
met with occurred on Monday evening at
West Hoboken, where Il camp of tilibusters
existed, having been established there on
Monday morning The camp consisted of
an old and unirequcntcd dwelling house, sit
uated ON the Waverton road and within a
few hundred yards of Shipney's floral park
on the Hackensack river. The distance
from IIoboken proper was about four miles.
1t was very good hiding-place and was APP
parently in little danger OF being discover
ed. At 8 O'clock on Monday night, how
ever, a force OF seventy five marines, under
command of a major, and fourteen sailors
commanded by two ensigns, embarked on
board of a steamtug at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, bound for the locality mentioned.
They had instructions from Admiral Godon
to aid Marshal Barlow to disband the camp
and arrest the tilibusicrs. The naval de-
tachncnt landed at the Elysian Fields, and
was met by Marshal Barlow and several OF
his deputies. Orders were then given to
have the force proceed against the camp.
After tramp of three miles the marines
came in sight of the dwelling and were then
separated in two squads, in order 10 APP
proach and surround the sleeping men from
opposite directions, and thus cut off all ave-
nues Of retreat The movement was str;ltc-
gicaliy accomplished, and at IA given signal
the united command gave the inmates of
the building notice of their presence. An
entrance was Immediately forced and the
aroused patriots were directed to dress them
selves and get ready to march. This the
latter proceeded to do in an unresisting
manner, without giving the slightest trou-
bic to their captors. During the excitement,
however, mere than half The prisoners man
aged to get outside of the Gordon of marines
and to escape TO the swamps, where they
successfully avoided their pursuers The
crowd of captives Which remained was sub
scquently inspected and found to number
fifty men. These were marched to Elysian
Fields, and at o'clock in the morning were
placed on board the tug boat which convey
cd them to Fort Lafayette, where they join
ed the Gardeners Island tiibusters who are
confined there. Later information has been
received in regard to the remnant of Ryan's
forces who were left on GARDENERS Island by
the marines, they being unable to find ther
hiding places. 1t it said that gathering of
the fugitives was held soon alter the depar-
ture OF the invaders, and that it was found
that forty-one men had escaped capture. A
consultation was held among them, when it
was decided to make "a hasty retreat from
the Island before the United States authori-
ties had time to make another raid upon
them. Dispatches were sent to the Cuban
Junta without delay by a courier, it being
desirable to have vessel sent to the island
TO take them off A vessel was obtained
which reached the island On Sunday even
ing. With the exception of Col. Ryan, Col.
Currier, and Lieutenant Colonel Basscy, the
officer which escaped from the tugboat
Chase with Ryans trunk, every one of the
filibusters took passage for this city. The
three named officers went on board small
yacht, but did not disclose what was to be
their destination. Previous to embarking
promised to joiu item in Cuba. They also
gave cheers for the owner oil the Island and
for his family. 1t was announced at the
time that the men were to rendezvous at
some quiet place in Or near this city, for the
purpose of ref,rg; nizlng. 1t was also whis-
pered about that Colonel Ryan and his two
companions intended to have Themselves
transferred from the yacht to an Havana
steamer, but it is believed that such rt-
port was circulated with the design of mis-
leading the Marsllal's officers in regard to
the real movements ot the Cuban officers,
who, il is conjecturcd, will soon land in this
city. District Attorney Pierrcpont returned
from Newport yesterday, and. devoted con-
siderable time to Marshal Barlow, who wish
ed to have him decide on the future course
towards the prisoners at Fort Lafayette. 1t
was found that it would be difficult to keep
them in confinement long. and equally diff
cult to allow their unconditional release.
They will probably be liberated to-day on
their personal recognizance not to violate
the neutrality laws or engage in another ex-
petition. Commissioners Shields and White
