HAVANA, Feb. 10.-No arrests have as yet
been made of the volunteers who on Sunday
murdered Mr.. Isaac Greenwald, and SO severely
wounded the two American citizens, Hugh
Johnson and Thomas X Foster, and 1 still be-
keve none will ever be made. Captain-General
Rodas is anxious to have the guilty parties
brought to justice, but instead OF being seconded
by the volunteers, he is opposed by the majority
OF them He has offered reward of $1,000 for
the arrest of the man who first assaulted Mr..
Greenwald, but has neglected to put in his de-
scription of the man that he wore upon his hat
the cockade of the volunteers an omission that
IN part iustifes the volunteers in screening their
guilty companion
AN EFFORT TO SAVE FOSTER.
The Marquis of Forbyn Janson, the French
Consul General here was passing near by in his
carriage, as the volunteers were engaged in
their bloody work. He tried to save Mr.. Foster,
who stepped towards the carriage, but was
brought down to the ground by couple of
bayonet stabs from as many infuriated volun-
teers before he could reach the consul. Mr..
Janson says the whole affair was of the most
disgracefu outrageous, and unlustlhable nature
on the part of the volunteers and other wit
nesses, including the estimable lady of the
British Cousul-General, repeat the statement.
REFUSAL TO DELIVER UP GREENwALD's BODY.
But worse than the murder or atleast meaner
and more scandalizng are the after proceedings
Of some of the Spanish officials. Mr. Green
valid g lifeless remains were first taken to the
Office of the Alealde of the Tacon ward. There
IL
sort of autopsy of the body held before 1t could
be delivered up to his friends. These, of course,
had to agree to this, but before departing from
the office notified the Alcalde that the body
wanted for embalmment to be afterwards sent to
New York.
The Alcalde made no reply, which was omi-
nous of what was to occur. When the friends
returned for the body they were surprised to
learn that it had already been buried. They
4 thereupon asked for a permit to disinter the
body, but this was bluntly refused, and they had
TO report the case to Cdptain-General Rodas, and
get an order from his Excellency to the Alcalde
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 Rodas had again
. to be applied to.
AN USCHRIsTIAN BURIAL.
On Tuesday the body was disinterred, and then
Mr. Greenwalds friends were horrifed not only
at finding the body buried in that part of the
graveyard reserved to paupers and malefactors,
but that it had been buried uncoti'led and stark
naked. When murdered, Mr.. Greenwald had on
new and fine clothing. This had all been stolen
no doubt was what impelled the Alcalde and the
priest to so strenuously oppose the disinterment.
MORE oUTRAGEs ON THE DEAD.
Nearly all the persons murdered of late by the
volunteers have been inferred like Mr.. Green
wald-hurriedly among criminals, uncotfined,
and naked. AS the American citizen, Vicelte
Danny murdered on the I'd, is of the number,
his ease, Joined to that of Mr.. Greenwald, should
at once induce the American Government TO
exact explanations from that of Spain as to
these disgraceful, horrible proceedings. Mr..
Greenwald's body having been embalmed, leaves
to-day per steamer Bienville, for New York.
