HAVANA.
The Murdered RmeFeaa---Tas Remains
Buried in Nude state.
Tho Assasslns Still at Large, and no Efforts
Made for their Arrest.

From the New York World ofthe I6th.l
HAVANA, February I0.-No arrests
have as yet been made Of the yolun-
teers who on Sunday murdered Mr..
Isaac Greenwald, and so severely
wounded the two American citizens,
Hugh johnson and Thomas X. Foster,
and l still believe none will ever DC
made. CaPtain-GeneraI Rodas is
ANXIOUS to have the guilty parties
brought to Justice, but, instead Of be-
ing seconded by the volunteers,
have good reasons for saying he is
opposed by the majority OF them. He
har offered a reward Of $1,000 for the
arrest OF the man who first assaulted
Mr.. GreenWald, but has neglected to
put in his description of the man that
he wore upon his nat the cockade OF
the volunteers, an omission that in
part justitie5 the volunteers in screen
ing their guilty companion.
THE REIEF OF MR.. GREENwALD's
FAMILY.
As Mr.. Greenwald has left a wife
and seven children in New York city
in rather Strengthened circumstance,
General ROdas has contributed 81 900
toward their assistance, and the CdsjaO
EsD0HdI has started a subscription To
treble the sum, for there is a minority
OF highly respectable Spaniards who
deeply regret the murder as well as
all the other laWless and blOOdthirsty
proceedings Of the volunteers. And
well they may! The more the attack
OF last Sunday upon our cOuntrymen
Is silted, the worse it appears.
AN EFFORT TO SAVE FOSTER.
The Marquis of Forbyn Janson, the
French Consul General here, was pass
ing near by in his carriage, as the vol
unteers were engaged in their bloody
work. He tried to save Mr.. Foster,
who stepped toward the carriage, but
was brought down to the ground, by a
couple OF bsyOuet stabs from as many
infuriated volunteers, before he could
reach the Consul. Mr.. JansOn says
the whole affair was of the most dis
graceful, outrageous and unjustifable
nature on the part Of the volunteers,
and other witnesses, including the es-
timable lady Of the British Consul
General, repeat the statement.
REFUSAL TO DELIVER Up GREEN
WALD's BODY.
But worse than the murder, or at
least meaner and more scandaiizing,
is the after proceedings Of some of the
Spanish officials. Mr.. GreenWald's
liteless remains were first taken to the
Office Of the Alcade of the TacOn
Ward. There the official mentioned
declared he must have sort ofau-
topsy OF the body held, before it could
be delivered up to his friends. These,
OF course, had TO agree to this, but be-
fore departing from the Office notified
the AIcsde that the body was wanted
Tor enbalmment, to be afterwards sent
to New York. The Alcade made no
reply, which was OminOus of what
was 20 occur. When the friends re-
turned for the body they were sur
prlsed to learn that il had already
been buried. They thereupon asked
for a permit to disinter the body, but
this was bluntly refused, and they had
TO report the case to Captain General
ROdas, and get an order from his Ex-
to the Alcade before the latter
would give the permit. Then at the
cemetery the priest in charge in his
turn became an obstacle, refusing to
consent to the disinterment, so that
General Roda5 had again to be applied
to.
AN UNCHRISTIAN BURIAL.
On Tuesday the body was disinter-
red, and then Mr.. Greenwald's friends
were Mortified not only at finding the
body buried in that part OF the grave
yard reserved to paupers and male
factors, but that it had been buried
1ncQJi7e9 and StGrk mated. When
Mr.. GreenwaId had on new
and fine clothing. This had all been
stolen by the Spaniards, and a knOwl- /
edge of this fact no doubt was what
.mpeiled the AIcade and the priest to
50 strenuOusly oppose the disinter-
nent.
MORE OUTRAGES OF THE DEAD.
l understand that nearly all the per-
sons murdered of late by the vOlun- /
.eers have been Inferred like Mr.. |
jreenwald-hnrriedly, among GRIM |
mails, uncoffiued and naked. AS the !
American citizen. Vicente Danny,
murdered on the ID, is Of the number, /
his case, Joined to that OF Mr.. Green |
valid, should at once induce the /
government to exact eXpla- |
nations from that of Spain as to these
horrible proceedings. Mr.. /
body having been en-
)almed, leaves tO-day per steamer
3lenville for New York, where, let
ne hope, the Americans will turn out
n mass at his funeral as a protest
,gainst the outrageous conduct of the
Havana volunteers and certain Span
5h officials.
ISDIGEATIOE AT HAVANA.
Captain Barker says that great in
ilgnati0n was expressed BY all classes
Il persons In Havana at the perpe-
rators of the crime. The firm which
Employed Mr.. Greenwald say that his
amily shall never suffer from poverty,
nd there is no doubt that although |
NIr. Greenwald's family can never be
omforted for his loss, it will be placed
,eyond the reach Of want.
IR. GREENwALD's RELIGIOUS FAITH.
The murdered man was of the Jew
sh faith, and the Jewish society of
which he was a member, the ]. O. b.
B., takes charge Of his funeral. Ac-
'ording to the Jewish custom, which
the constant watching of
.Orpse from the time of death till that
# burial, a delegation from his socie-
y sat up all last night beside the
