ESCAPED IN A HOGsHEAD-HO,c q Cuban
Patriot Got Array From the AuthOritieS.-A
few days ago there arrived in this city man
who left Cuba on the 9th of December last,
and who served four years in the patriot army.
He was captain in the I'd regiment, I'd brigade
of cavalry, under the command of Maxine
GOmeX, the present commanders in chief of the
patriot forces, who now number Is, 900 men, of
whom 1900 are Americans, principally eX-
confederate soldiers. This captain was one of
the Stonewall Jackson men during the period
of our civil war, and shortly after its termina-
ton he enlisted in the ranks of the patriots.
Under orders from his superior officer his COM
pany, numbering eighty. men, was detailed to
destroy plantations belonging to a Spaniard
near the city of CardenaS, but being betrayed,
the entire command was surrounded by
force of 600 Spanish cavalry, and all of them,
with the exception of Captain w. and another,
were killed. After a series of thrilling adven-
lures and narrow escapes, Captain w. made
his way in disguise into CardenaS, and through
the assistance of an American at that place he
was brought to the Office of the American con-
sui, who had him placed in an empty hogs
head rolled along the wharf and put on board
of an Italian ship bound for Antwerp. The
captain of the ship hove to and put him ashore
at Key West, and from that point he made his
way to this city, where he is now awaiting the
receipt OF letters and funds from relatives in
Wisconsin and Baltimore. Captain WIS de-

SLIPPED FROM HIS MOTHERS HAND.-A

carried a lantern in her hand, and the two
rick run. The little fellow slipped and fell
through the trestle into the stream below,
leaving the mitten that he wore in his mothers
hand. During the excitement the light went
out, and the frantic mother waded up and
down and across the stream in search of her
lost child. Before assistance arrived and he
could be recovered life was extinct. His body
was at last found five rods below the treStle in
the driftwood. The unfortunate lady is almost
crazed by her loss, and is quite ill. The father
has been telegrahed for in vain, as he is absent
