Santiago has called upon the troops in the
jurisdiction of the latter place TO assist him In ac-
complishng this object 1t is reported that before
the several detachments were collected Tor TINS pur
pose they burned several estates IN Ioarlba, ana
murdered great number of the inhabitants. Val
maseda may not however, succeed in efecting COM
municaton with Santiago by land since the attempt
will be attended with loss the patriots having re-
solved 10 give him battle. But if he cannot force
his way from Bayamo, he will proceed to Manzanillo,
and thence the Tiger, the patriots call him. Will
embark for Santiago. Not long ago the patriot COM
mander Fgueredo collected five hundred persons,
many of them old men, women, and children, who
were wandering in the woods, where. as they de-
clared. they preferred to face hunger and death
rather than be subject to the atrocities OF the Span
ish soldiery.

were 80 fouly murdered on the Jiguani road by the
Spanish officers and escort were denounced by one
Pedro Casanova, and Hortenso Tamayo. CASA

the influence Of the gold of his fathern-aw he was
released by the Spaniards and again let loose upon

Cuban but he has lived fourteen years in Spain, at
which place he had not very high reputation.
Knowing the character of Tamayo the Provisional
Government sent him to Cuba TO I'LL the post OF
Judge in one of the Jurisdictions, and after his
arrival he was chosen by the then Captain-Genera,
Dulce to proceed to the insurgent camp, under nag
of truce to negotiate with the Cuban leaders. But
the latter refused TO receive such an envoy and the
residents of Santiago themselves expressed dsappro-
baton that such character had been chosen for 80
important and honorable position. Yet it was on
the statements of two such persons that twenty-one
Cubans were put to death by the Spaniards, and at
the very moment when they were assured OF safety.
