The Surrender of the VirgJnius Pris-
OnerS.
NEW Yonx. December

NEW YORK. December ~
The New York 7ribstae's Key West
telegram gives an account OF the surren-
der Of the Virginius prisoners to Lieut..
Com. Braine of the Juniata. II appears
that the authorities to the last moment
kept the poor wretches in ignorance of
their prospective release, and with base
inhumanity led them to suppose that they
were to be executed. Priests were with
them, taking their confessions and dying
declarations, and imploring them to look
to God for pardon. They were taken out
of prison in despair, but on their way to
the slaughter-pen, as they supposed, their
eyes fell upon the Juniata, flying the flag
OF the United States. When they realized
the truth scene occurred which beggars
description. Their enthusiasm knew no
bounds. They were speedily transferred
to the deck of the Juniata, and gave vent
To the most eytravagaT:: bat touching
demonstrations of joy, embracing each
other, some crying, some kissing, and
others offering thanks 10 the Almighty
for their dcliyerance from the horrors OF
their dungeon and the prospect of an
ignominious death. On the night before
the surrender, the officers and crew of
the Juniata were stationed at their quar-
tiers, her guns being turned on the city.
The Spanish volunteers having been ex-
cited to an open riot by the rumor that
the surrender was to take place, a large
number of them went in a body to the
Governors palace and begged permission
TO attempt the capture of the Juniata, say
ing that they could do 1t with knives alone
The Governor refused to grant permits
sion. Our officers believe that the appli
cation was made in earnest, and not few
regret that it was not favorably entertain
ed, as the Juniata alone, not 10 speak OF
the Kansas and Pinta, would have been
more than match for their assailants.
On the arrival of the Pinta at Santiago
orders came to the ship from Commodore
Braine for the paymaster to issue. all the
blankets and peajackets in his depart
ment to the prisoners, who were hardly
fit to be seen in their rags This was
speedily done, but, as there was still
great restitution, orders came for every
