last moment kept the p Dor wretches in ignor-
ance of their prospective release, and with
base inhumanity led them to suppose that
they were to be executed. Friends 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 Oh 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,
a scene occurred which beggars description.
The enthusiasm knew 10 bounds They
were speedily transferred TO the deck of
the Juniata. and gave vent to the most
extrayagant but touching.demonstrations of
JOY, embracing each other, some crying, some
kissing. and others audibly offering thanks to
the Almighty for their deliverance 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 quarters. her guns
being turned on the city. The Spanish volun-
teers having been excited TO open riot by the
rumor that the surrender was to take place, &
large number of volunteers went in a body to
the Governors palace and begged permission
to attempt the capture of the Juniata, saying
that taey could do it with knives alone. The
Governor refused to grant permission. The
poor prisoners presented a most pitiable sight
i'll their tattered and filthy rage. aid every
heart was touched by the spectacle. They
report that their treatment was most bar
barous.
