When the Colonel began to talk Of sur

cut out. They were not willing to succumb
without a little fun. / informed them that
the sih and 9th Mich. Cav. were armed
with Colts navy revolvers, Spencer rifles,
and good sabers, and if they were aiming to
cut out, wanted to be placed somewhere in
the rear, for I did not care about being
killed by our own men. At that time and
place they decided to surrender. They di-
vested themselves of their arms and the
plumber they had gathred in on the march,

Movement.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I notice
that history makes mistake in the dates Of
the Lopez or "Fifibuster" expeditions from
the United States to Cuba.
The one from which the "Filibuster got
his name took place in the year 1850, during
the Administration Of President Fillmore.
The word FiIibuster," as applied to the
adventures in that expedition, came from
the Presidents name. "Fili," from Fillmore,
expedition. The first expedition was made
up from Ohio, Kentucky, and the States
along the Mississippi River. About 200 Of
us sailed from New Orleans, in the night,
sometime about last of March or LIST of April,
in the bark Georgiana, followed by about
400 more, all Americans, in the steamer
Creole, about two weeks from the time Of
the departure of the Georgiana. The Creole
oyertaking the bark at or near the coast Of
Yucstan, Mexico, took the Georgiana's load
of filibusters and steamed for Cardenas,
Cuba.
The second, OF, ! might say, the third,
expedition under Lopez (the first called
the Round Island Expedition y" never got
to Cuba, and Col. Critsenden, who was not
in the expedition Of 1850, went over to Cuba
in 1852, and landed at Bahia Honda, in the
western end of the island.
This last expedition Zone in which Col.
Crittenden tosk part) was defeated by q
storm of wind and rain, that 80 disabled
them that when attacked by Spanish SOL
diers they were unable ito make any resist
ance. 81 -
The expedition becoming separated by
the storm, and their ammunition being wet,
they were easily captured, and Col. Cfftten-
den, with 81 Of his followers, were ordered
to kneel down to be shot.
The 81 were ignomipiously shot by tho
Spanish soldiery. All lkneeled save Col.
Crittenden, who, when, ordered to kneel,
answered: /" kBeel to no one but my God"
Gen. Lopez was followed with bloodhounds
and captured in the house of his friend, and
was afterwards garroseds
The cause Of the failure Of the first expe-
diti0n, or the one Of 1850, was not because
the Cubans did not rise in response to the
movement, but was because the expedition
was only on the island for, 10 or IA hours,
and in leaving Cardenas in the night to go
to some other part of the island for certain
reasons, ran aground in trying to escape .
Spanish man. Of-war. We had to unload
nearly everything loose to get off, and we
thereby were not in condition to 60 to any
other part of the island.
After releasing the Governor of the Prov
ince, whom we had captured, and returning
the public money-box, which We also cap
tured, we struck out for Key West. / know

In the second one did not reach Cuba, but

mouth of the st. Mary's River, between
Georgia and Florida, the boat on which
we were to go bdng, anchored in the water

A RECORD BREAKER.

A number of fast runs have been made
over Southern railroads this year and
there seems to be quite a rivalry between
the fines operating in North Carolina as
to which can make the best time. The
Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air;
Line are principal rivals and in the con-,
test first one is ahead and then the other,
The A. c. L., now holds the palm for the
run made last Friday between Florence
and Rocky Mount. The distance is I73
miles and the total running time was ISo
minutes, or exactly three hours. From
this is to be deducted seven stops of two
minutes each, which makes the actnal
time required to cover the distance I66
minutes, making an average speed OF
more than mile minute. This is the
most remarkable run ever made in the
South. Engineer John M. Donlan held
the, throttle ;wAeu the flying trip was
made.
