"A few days ago Spanish dispatch from
Havana announced that the Cuban expedition
which sailed from New York two weeks ago,
ON the steamer George B. Upton, had been cap
tured. Letters to the Tribune and New York
Sun announce that the expedition was safely
landed on the coast FIVE days before the force
which the Spaniards say captured it left Neuvi-
tas The men and arms taken out by the Up
ton were undoubtedly well in the interior be-
fore the Spanlards knew of their arrival, and

tinue to perpetrate acts of cruelty upon per-
sons supposed to be In sympathy with the
Cuban cause. a number of families were re-
Gently arrested by the soldiers short dis
tance from Nueyitas. The men and boys sue
ceeded In escaping, but the women and small
children suffered much from their captors,
who respect neither age nor sex. The prison
era clothes and jewelry were all stolen, and
they were otherwise treated In most cruel
manner. They were forced to march with
the column six days, This was done with the
view of inducing the fathers, husbands and
brothers Of the prisoners to reveal them
selves on the line of march. Had they
done so they would have been killed.
The old ladies who were thus compelled to
tramp suffered terribly on the march. On the
23d the Spaniards shot six men near the pow
der fort After committing this barbarous act
they cut the heads from the dead bodies and
nailed them ON trees In the vicinity. 1t was
rumored that an American engineer had been
shot for being found on the plantation of Mon
teio, and Dr. Silva and wife had also been kill
ell for harborlng Cuban patriot The most
encouraging reports are given, however, of
the insurgent cause; arms are all that is want
ed; these once supplied, the Cubans will give
q GOOD account of themselves. There are
thousands of people not only ready but anxious
to take them mp.

black silk hat, black clothes, white gloves, and
white aprons tied under the coats. The ofi-
GERS wore the jewels of their rank. The column
was In ten divisions, composed of nearly $50
lodges, and numbering about 25, 900 men in the
ranks Over the entire line Of march the side
walks were crowded by well-dressed citizens,
Interested in the gsand display. After all the
lodges had arrived near the site OF the Temple,
and all were on the platform who were entitled
to thatprivilege, prayer was offered by the
Grand Chaplain, and after an anthem, the
