spOndent had an interview with Garibaldi.
He says His quiet simplicity and dignity
of manner much impressed me. His Coun-
tenance was sad with work look in the
eyes. He informed me that he made his
escape from Caprera in fishing smack pro-
vided by his friend Colonel Bondini, who
accompanied him.
He asked many questions relative to the
merits OF the Whitworth, Schneider and
Enfield rifles, with the view of finding
which is the best. After expressing a de
termination to remain with the French to
the last, he added, why will not the
noble American Republic the glory and ad-
mlration OF all free people, send material
aid to the young and struggling Republic of
France! Italy, France and Spain an xiously
await one determined word from America
to cast off forever their detested chains.
The General spoke with remarkable
earnestness.
