no knowledge of arrested rebels or sus-

at will and that his son sleeps with him
nightly. The insurrectionists, who thus are
convinced that they were betrayed by san
gully, claim now to have learned more of
the collection Of funds by sanguilly. Manuel
would have had naught 10 fear from a new
government by insurrectionists, and hence
desired their success in the present effort
for freedom. 1t is now stated by man just
arrived here that the rebels have learned
that Garcia soon before his death. early
