company under this laiter captain were attack ed whilst refreshing themselves in lhe lavein but quickly jumped to where their muskets j : were slacked and returned t lie fire from the chaparral the firing from both sides was very animated ; from every bush ihere appeared lo pour oul a blaze of fire the spaniards held iheirposilion well though barged by the whole of our force several successive limes they finally however gave up the chapparral to re i inforce a party on an eminence about onequar j ter of a mile from us the parly which at j tacked us from the chapparral was believed to have been the flanking parly of ihe detachment on the hill having formed themselves upon lhe hill ihey poured in ihe tavern ard in which we had drawn up ourselves a contin ued stream of bullets we soon felt convinced that the yard was no place for us ;

when i turn back and think of lhe pro minence of lhe men in this expedition who ac led lhe same deceitful pari in the other and then look and see tilings as ihey actually are — peace plenty and quiet throughout lhe isl and lhe masses devoted lo the government and individually contented with iheir sacred homes where plenlitude is heaped up around ihem and want is a stranger — 1 bite my lips wilh anger to think thai these men cannot be made to suffer as ihose deluded young men have who lefl their homes from the purest mo tives to find themselves lhe followers of a trai tor deceived by their own countrymen lo re trieve his desperate fortunes it there is any one who wishes lobe convinced of lhe hap py and contented stale of the island let him but come and see for himself in all his trav els his purse-string will rarely have lo be un drawn ; ihe cuban whose heart is as liberal as his store-house will meet his every neces sity — he has nothing to do but come and he hold to continue my narrative which i will now shortly bring to a close we had been in lhe mountains about three days when on the morn ing ol the third day we made the lopez estate the farm itself is a most maguificenljme it once belonged to the lopez family but was confiscated by reason of his treachery to the queen of spain we were preparing our selves to dine when we were suddenly charged down upon by a body of about filiy or sixty horsemen whom we repulsed with a slight loss on iheir side bul iheir object it was ev ident was not to achieve any other advanlage lhan to cause us lo fall back where a large body of lancers awaited this movement on our part this we did not do ; bul immediately on the repulse of the horsemen we shouldered arms left our unfinished dinners and marched over into a large open field bordered on one side by a thick and busby wood before we had quite reached the margin of this wood a deslruciive fire was opened upon us we col lecled as rapidly as possible upon a utile knoll in lhe field and returned lhe fire with some spirit this engagement lasted but a short lime a number were killed and wounded on both sides and as if by mutual consent both parties reiiied fv«m the field we look lhe mountain road and commenced again ihe same old trudging up and down lhe mountains expec tin everyday from lopez's prestations to meet with lire patriots ou the seventh day of our tramp in ihe mountains we halted at a ranch about duik for ifre purpose of lakiag sup per and reeling for the night the ni^hl we j spent without molest tlion ; but in the mornitig ! whil-t preparing breakfast we were aliarkerj in front and on our right flank by a body of spanish troop finding ourselves iu a bad scrape we discharged our pieces and retreated up a mountain ihic-kly overgrown with lhe cof lee plant our retreat was covered hy one company which kept up a continual fire on the advancing enemy the hitter kepi up such a hoi fire on us lhat nolhing but the whizzittu of hullels could be heard we speedily aitied the top of the mountain and then such another tumbling down lhe other side never was seen before men horses and their riders all in one promiscuous mass went heller skeller down into the ravine beneath it was not tin lilyour humble servant could gather himself at lhe bottom lhal he could lell whether his feet formed the apex of his perpendi'-ular or his head the spanish iroops did nol pursue us to the bottom ; they contented themselves with plyin us with the contents ofa small howitzer ni"unl ed on lhe back of a mule and several volleys of musketry to the mountains we still clung : wearied and broken down the men commenced throw ing their guns and ammunition away ; ihey wanted lopez to leave ihe island he still pampered ih>*in up wilh lhe idea that there was ' no deceit in him no what he promised he made them believe would actually come lo pass alas ! loo lale they perceived the error of con fiding in his promises ! about four days after this defeat all of us came near being destroyed we were toiling our way lale in lhe evening along a most irksome road when the advance of lhe parly suddenly perceived two sentinels one on each side ofthe road we immediate ly retraced our steps but lhe sentinels gave the alarm and a large parly of spanish iroops at j lacked our rear we retreated quickly down each side ofthe road behind the thick under growth which is so luxuriant around lhe moun tains of this island some of our men were j killed and a few taken prisoners from ibis defeat lhe men became separated ;
