A short timo boforo tholr dolivery, the prisoncrs woro romovad from thoe jall in Bantisgo to tho Morro, soveral milon befow, whero their iront. mont was no better than boforo. This march of & half dozon miles was also parformed by night, snd mavy of the prisonors suffored severely on tho way.” Tho motive, leading to this course of nation was undoubtedly tho fanciod insecurity of tho prisoners in the' Santingo {nil. The United States mon-of-war Juniats, Kuuses, and Wy- oming, and tho Niobo of tho navy of Gront Britnin, wore lylng in tho harbor, and tho throats made by thoir” commendors wore rocoived with n}:peal by tho onsily-daunted inhabitants of tho city, 1 I'he Spanieh soldiers aro regarded rather contemptuonsly Dby United States navy oflcors, and lmf hove not fonrod to oxprose their opmlons freoly. It was feared by .the Spuniards that the throats ,of the naval oflicors might bo carried into execution, and tho prisoners could easily have boon rescuod from their formor quartors. _In the Morro their trentmont was similar o what had preceded, though thelr exporionco horewas short, The orders from Madrid demanded thut thoy should bo delivered on tho 16th of Decembor.

They bind been told that morning to prepara for death; tho priosts had- enterod the prison, and had sdministored tho solemn duties of Lheir ollico, and thioy wero then led forth in the samo menuer aa Ryan and Fry had boon a fow weeks beforo.

Even on the merch to tho water's cdge, the Bpaniards continuod their thronls aud devived new means of torturo. They wero at length ull placed ou board a scow or lnrgo raft and slowly towed out into the stream. The Juniata wns lying u short dislanco away, with tho Stars sud. Siripes floating abovo ke, Iler alilcers woro crowding tho decks, and with pow- erful glasses wero straining their eyes to cateh tho changes on tho countonances or the prison- er. ‘They snw the stenmor, but for o long time soomed 1ot to roalize that thoy were destitied o spoedily to sland npon hor deck, Slowly the Spanish_tug dragged itself long, and nssho ap- proachod nearer aud nearer the faces of tho pris- onera were ucen to change. Still, howevor, it soowed. ralber tho iuspiration of the Stars and Stripea than the hupo of spoedy frecdom that moved thom. A moment later, and. tho stupondous scow swang uround undor the storu of tho United States stonmer, aud the prisoners wore no longer masters of their own owotions, As ono of their number stood out prominently among his com- rades, and as tho truth flashed u, him, ho govo one triumphant shoat, nnd swung bis hat “wildly in tho air, - It wasthesingle spark needed to firo a magazine, aud his «hout had not died on tho air when it was taken up and echioed and res. echoed by. bis companious, and the shores nud tha harbor-of .Bantiago rang:with choers for the | g of o Usiled Siates..
