For this paper, and these particulars, we are indebted to Captain Gamson, who was upon thegiound when these unfortunate men were slaughtered within five minutevS after tlieir capitulation took place. Bflore we conclude our reinaiks we will add that we arc further infoimed that Geneial Lopez, with 1700 men under command, was within thirty miles of Havana, upon which he was advancing; and Ind his ioices so disposed as to cut oft" all communication with the interior, and that the native Cubans were daily flocking to hit. standaid in such numhers as to leave but little doubt that the whole population was with him. It is the impression of Captain Garrison that Lopez is this day in possesMon of the city of Havana, rs it was well known, when he left, that a Kiench war steamer was detained for the express purpose of cairying 'iway the Captain-Geneial of the Island, who, despairing of the support, ol the soldieiy had ii^igned his office.
