which lpll this island with II curtum-
house clearance for IimOli Bay, Costa
lIica. So lar the circumstances and
locality Of the Nirglnius surrender ARE
not actually known In Jamaica, ~ no
kilograms between this colony and
Santiago relating 10 this subject have
been permitted to pass out OF the tele-
graph Office there.
We only know through kilograms
from the Government of Santiago, adj
dressed to the Spanish Consul NJ King
stou, that the Nirginius was captured
on the 3lst ult., and five OF the lenders
of the expedition were shot. Every
effort to elicit iucts through the cable
have proved abortivc. There was no
concealment made of the actual en-
rand of the Nirgin!us while here. II
was notorious that the officers had
dancing parties on board and public
meetings were held in honor of Gu
| ban independence, ut which the con-
signec Of the Nirgnius occupied the
chair.
The steamer was repaired while in
port and coaled atthc expense of Cuban
refugees. The Nirginius first attempt
ed to effect landing, on the 18th OF
October, three days after she left
Kingston, but was driven Off by the
Spanish troops and chased 10y Spaii-
ish frigute, but escaped and reached
Port-au- Prince on the 9th. While
there several Of the Jamaica mechan-
les (all colorcdJ on board, being alarm
ed by the chase, ran away, but were
forcibly taken on board by the Vir-
ginius' officers and put in irons.
saThe acting British ConslS, being cut
off from immediate communication
with the British Consul General al
Havana, by the interruption of the
cable between Santiago and Batahano,
Commodore DeIl0rscy dispatched the
gunboat Niobc, at midnight on the Ih,
to inquire into the matter, ana to all
wise the Consul to request delay in car
rying out any hasty sentence that
might be passed upon the JamaicanS
who were captured.

left Santiago, on the evening of the
5th, reports that just before he capture

fall into the hands of the Spaniards
but the Captain persuaded him that
being under the American flag and III
neutral waters, they would not dare
touch any man on board. Narona ant
his followers thereupon became salts
fled, and shortly after an officer from
the Tornado boarded the Nirginius ant
demanded her papers.
After an inspection he stated thai
they were correct, but he made all OF
board prisoners Varona replied that
he surrendered under the protection o
the American flag, and said he was I;
prisoner because there was not an Eng
iish or American man-of-war near tc

nations.
