SANTIAGO DB CuBA, August 18, 1869, During the whole insurrection no auch sensation has occurred here as that caused by the news spread on arrival of the steamer Villa Clara from Manza- nillo, with regard to the prisoners sent from here as already reported in my last communication, The story is somewhat long, but the denouement is so atrocious that I will give it at full length in order that it may be clearly understood In the Unitea States, that no one’s life is safe here, and that neither justice nor hqmanity will be exercised so long as the government 1s controjled by a clique of robbers and assassins who respect nothing which stands in the way of the gratification of their fero- ctous instincts, About two months ago several prominent citizens were arrested here and put in solitary confinement, The arrest took place at the direct instance of Gen- eral Valmaseda, acting, it {s said, on the information of acertain Casanova. Valmaseda every one has heard of, Casanova not being so generally famous I may mention that up to the beginning of the prea- ent troubles he was known as a professional robber and assassin, At the commencement of the ingur- Tecsion he espoused the Cuban cause, but not finding himself comfortable with the msurgents he deserted them, aud after a tme succeeded in finding @ con- genial asylum in the ranks of the Contra-guerilla, a body put together by General Valmaseda, and of which Casanova might be considered a specimen type. The prisoners above mentioned, after being about three weeks in prison, were released, nothing what- ever having been proved againatthem. After beng at lberty about @ month they wero rearrested on the same charge, and at the mstance, as before, of General Valmaseda. After three days the prisoners were ordered to make ready to go to Manzanillo, from whence to proceed to Bayamo, where the wit- nesses would be produced, and here begins the shameful story, resulting in the most awful tragedy which the insurrection has produced, The prisoners had been already three weeks in prison and Vaima- seda het been unable to produce any proofs against them; th: crimes of which they were accused were ulleged t» tiave been committed here, for none of the prisoners had been to Bayamo, and yet they were on suspicion sent from here, the caplial of the aepart- ment, to an obscure town to be submitted to the greatest of all farces of military justice, On receipt of this order the fear of death seemed to have fallen on the unhappy men, and they could read their doom as plainly as if it were printed; but, hoping that if extreme publicity were given to their case it might avert Weir impending fate by bringin: into play the fear Ry opinion at home an abroad, they addressed separate communications to Messrs. E. Arnaud, 6. A, Phillips, ©, Reiners and F. Ramsden, the French, Dominican, North German and British consuls, requesting them as frienas to visit them in the prison. This réquest was naturally acceded to, the moré 80 as no special permission was required to make the visit. The prisoners asked the consuls if they could do warping to save them from being sent to Bayamo, alleging fear of meeting in- sargents ou the road, when in aby skirmish they would be the first to suffer. The consuls informed them that they could not interfere, The prisoners then begged them fi friends of theirs, and at the same ume of the Governor, to present to him, in their private capacity and ag mutual friends, a ne- mortal from them ae Mage Pm praying to be tried here or in Manzanillo, or, if sent to Bayamo, to be escorted by an officer chosen by themselves, This Was done, and the last request was readily complied with by the General, and Major Amadi Salazar was ordered to take charge of the escort and deliver the ies sately to Sonera Valmaseda, ‘The prisoners, eight in number, were on Friday afternoon, 30th uit., per Vila Clare rks were Dr. Espin, Dr. Perez, Don José Antonio Col- Jazo, Den Brano Collazo, Don Joaquin Ros, Don Ascencio de Acenzio, Don Salvador Benitez and Don Andres Villasana, Don Gonzaio Villar being very NI could not be removed. The prisoners’ were escorted by the oMcer they had chosen, Don Amado Saigzar, and arrived safely at Bayamo ander nis midance. From thence Major Salazar returned to fanzanillo, and came on here by last tri aleamer, but none of the prisoners Came, ht thoug, mothing oficial is known, it is reportes gene nd raily believed that from Bayamo they were t Jiguanit by Valmaseda, under escort of clone, Palacios aud @ strong body of troops, and on the road the eight prisoners and some friends and ser. vants who seccompanied them, twenty-o rsOns in all, weré deliberately assassinated by Beioner Palacios, although ie prisoners had not been tried, aud the friends aud servants accompanying them were actually not even accused of any offence, ‘There is almost no doubt about this atrocions crime having been committed, aa letters from Bayamo and Jiguani report il, and in Manzanillo it was gene. rally believed, The butchery took glace on the 7th, and on the &th Colonel Palacios ‘embarked from Manzanilio, with two cannons, for hevana, which cannons lad been fonnd two daye previously, and surrection has brought forth. At the same time It is fair to newer se got ae has also like ee hye upon by pal Moiroule expat ere, W body ts said to be in correspondence with Valma- seda, and this idea is the more probable from the known and well proved bioodthirstiness of a ciique of its members, which includes such notorious ruMans asthe Priest Lecanda, the Sub-Collector of Kermrapment tro aed Ormachea, the Governor of the con- vict establishment and others, ali of whom expressed joy and satisfaction on hearing of the which ig condemned and reprobated by every decent Spaniard in tne place. All the mur- dered men leave families who depended on them for thelr dally bread, and who are thus reduced to mi by this great crime, Last night a report was spread that the news was false and that the prison- era were safe and well and would soon be in Cuba. An immense crowd gathered at the entrance to re- are. them, but after some waiting dispersed quietly, The rebela under Marmol attacked a party of eighty troops and volunteers at Mayaryarriba, causing them a joss of eleven men. The govern- ment despatch, of course, claims that they killed a great mi ay Mmsurgents, and, as usual, trola out the one wounded man who figures in all the despatches. The Governor of Guantanamo had 1} with 430 men, to attack Marmol, but as yet there ia no ews of the result. AMUSEMENTS, Watiack’s THEATRE.—The announcement that Mr. John BE, Owens would appear in two of his favorite characters wag sufMicient to crowd this theatre last evening almost to repletion. The pieces selected were Mr. Tom Taylor’s most enjoyable three act comedy entitied “The Victims,” and Mr. Owens’ great specialty of “Solon Shingle.” Both pieces were exceedingly well mounted, and both enjoyed the advantages of strong casts. As Joshua Butterby in “The Victims,” Mr. Owens was Irresistibly funny. ‘This 1s one of his most popular and greatest charac- ters, and as it is so well and favorably known to the public, any attempt here to particularize either its droilery or mirth-provoking situations would fea be be a work of supererogation, ‘To say, however, that Mr. Owens nas lost none of the vim or fire which characterized his portrayal of this character years ago, [8 to award him all the praise which {9 at all necessary to satisfy him as an artist and the play- goer a3 to his present capabilities, From the com- Iencement of the play to its termination the house was musical with merry pea's of unresirained laughter, and as everybody present appeared to enjoy the performance, it is but fair to pre- sume that everybody waspleased and satisfied, In “The Victims” Mr. Owens was ably sustained by Mr. Ww. £. Floy as the poet Fitzherbert, Mr, Oliver Doud ag Merryweather, Mr, T, B, gold as Rawley, Miss Annio De Land as Mrs, Fitzherbver Florence Stanley as Mra, Merryweather and J. Hind as Miss Crane, the gushing Minerva who is desperately in love ‘with the bashful and biundering Joshua. As ‘Solon Shingle Mr, Owens if any- thing surpassed his Joshua Buteerby. Hig acting throughout was exceedingly refreshing avd enjoy- able. It pleased, it tickled and delighted those epaiear earned for the actor round after round of merited applause and brought him by command before tlie curtain several times during the evening. As the same bill will be repeated until further notice, those desiring to have a good, hearty laugh will do well to improve their opportunity and sec Mr, Owens in these two arent ‘specialties, “Solon Shingle” and Joshua Butterby in “The Victims.” GRAND OPERA Hovse.—The spectacular drama of the “Sea of Ice,”” which has been so long underlined at this place, and for the presentation of which there have been weeks of diligent preparation and lavish Outlay, was last evening produced with a splendor rarely surpassed in this city and a success wholly unexampled. There was everything to make lt a splendid success--new and superb scenic representa- Uons, fitting and elegant costumes, skilled and mar- vellous mechanical effects and a strength of cast rarely assembled on the boards of any theatre. It has been 80 long since this drama was produced in thus city that it was about as good as new, and in fact it was received with all the zest and enthusi- asm of an eitixely new performance. Miss Luctile Western, in the dual character of Louise de Lascours and Ogarlta, exited the best defined, if not the strongest, points of ber dramatic gentus. In none of her characters is her sktll in portraying the deeper passions swaying the soul an ving pulse to the most subtle emotions o! shown with more stirring amd thrilling effect, There is consummate force in her fideilty to nature. in the terrible ordeals through which she passes in her varied and tumultuous career, the grandeur of high- wrought passion ia both truthfuily and tonchingly delineated. The large and brilliant assemblage which filled the house showed their appreciation of her fine acting by frequent ovations of prolonged applause, The admirable support she recetved con- tributed of course materially to the grand success of the play. Mr. J. A. Herne as Carlos, the ad- venturer, and alterwards Marquis del Monte, the man of gold, was {%elicitously happy in his renditton of the twofold character. ‘With scarcely an exception, atl, in fact, played their parts well. ‘The lebleaus were very fine, ‘The rep- resentation of the breaking up of the icebergs and dazziing brilliancy of the aurora borealis was never better given, and tne gorgeous splendor of the wids of Mexico, in scenic effect, was almost equal to Churoh’s picture of the ‘Heart of the Andes.” For @ first presentation 1t-went off very smootily, pro- longed delays between some of the acts produced manifest symptoms Bd impatience pguaahd among the throng of noisy and ill-mapnered youngsters gc- cupying the upper tier, who, for the Comfort of tue Test of the house, need the subduing influence of licemen to keep them quiet, fitogether, judging From last bight, the indications are Plain that the piece will enjoy a long and prosperous ran. BowpRY THEATRE.—Mile, Marietta Ravel com- menced the second week of her present engagement atthe Bowery theatre last evening. The manage- ment, with characteristic enterprise, put two new pieces upon the stage, Tue performances opened with the three act drama “Massaniello, or the Dumb Girl of Porticl,” apiece in which Mile, Ravel hag for gome time enjoyed an enviable reputation for her really artistic representation of the dumb girl. Tho Miss im- piece Was el tly mounted and the ‘star’? was ably suppor by the stock company, ‘The hotise was densely packed in every part and the perform- ance appeared, from the olt-repeated ap) which it was greeted, to give the fullest satisfaction. Mile. Ravel's pantomimic aéting has so often been spoken of that apy attempt at criticism will be un- necessary, all that need be said being that ‘fe lady does not seem to lose any of her powers of delineat- fog her meaning by her actions. ‘The bill closed with the drama of “Tom Cringle; or, the Seaman’s Log,” in which Messrs. W. Marden, J. H. Bowers, J. McCloskey and Charles Foster and Miss Jennic Clifford appeared to great advantage. The bill was a Seo STN good One and as tie new ventiiating apparatus lately erected keeps the theatre com- apie cool, there can be no doubt th at the house ul be crowded throughout the weck, WAVERLEY THEATRE.—The season at this neat little establishment was inaugurated last eveniug under new management. An attractive programme had the effect of drawing as large au audience as the limits-of the tueatre could contain. Indeed, standing room and barely that was the order of the evening an hour after the doors were thrown open. ‘The entertainment, however, which consisted chiesy of songs and dances, was scarcely go novel as might have been expected, though there was plenty of va- riety and @ host of artista, who followed each other in such rapid succession that there was scarcely Ume to laugh at anything. One of the chief features of the evening was the performance of Miss Anna Hindle, the London wimic, She is a young lady of great versatility and the owner of a sweet voice, which she brings into good requisition. Her admirable interpretation of tne ‘sweil’ was de- servedly encored. Tne Waliace sisters, & precocious pair of Zounsaters, gang and danced without win- ning golden (apy for their bashfalness, The terpsichorean teats of Mr. Carroll were excellent, as were also the delineations of Mr. Hph Horn, who seemed to be a general favorite. The other artists inctuded Miss Brent, Miss Farrand, Ciinetop Sisters, Miss Wesner, Miss Maywood, G. Wiiliains, L. Brem- mer, A.

Ante-Mortem Statement of Delia Adams, Coroner Flynn yesterday afternoon proceeded to Bellevue Hospital and took the ante-mortem state. ment of Delia Adams, tne girl who was shot in South street, near Dover, by Captain Foss, a8 already fally reported in the Heratp. Delia, who isin aa extremely critical condition, made the followtug statement:— On Saturday afternoon about three o'clock, August 21, 1 was going from Fulton Market on my way home; near Roosevelt street ferry I saw 2 little boy having some white powder, like uour, and gave it to & Woman who keeps an apple stand in South street; the boy asked her to give him an apple for ir. While he was still at the stand I saw the prisoner now pre- sent [ep | Foss) come from towards the dock and beat the boy terribly with a stlok.

Her erying brought some men out from the stores close by; some of them caught Foss and threw him on the ground, near the track. J at this time ran across the street near the dock, I then saw Samuel Foss take out a pisto! and shoot three times at one man; one of the shots missed the man and struck me in the abdomen.

D., deposed to having examined the injured girl, Delia Adams, at Believue Hospital; found her suffering from a pistol shot wound in the abdomen, it being one inch to the left of the median line and one inch above the unwbilicus, which wound, in the doctor's opinion, will cause death.

A somewhat singular case of death was brought to the attention of Coroner Flynn yesterday morn- ing. From the facts as developed it appears that Cornelius Raillhor, a man twenty-fve years of age, who boarded in Sixty-second street, near First ave- nue, has been suffering from fever end ague for some time past, and at the request of some friends Mrs. Margaret Monaghan, a female doctor living im the neighborhood, was called to prescribe for him, and administered a mixture containing @ ten cent paper of chewiug tobacco and three tamblera of ale. Immediately after swallowing a portion of the medicine the patient vomited, whereupon Mra. Monaghan gave him warm water, and about four hours afterwards he died, After examiming two witnesses, whose testimony embraced the above facts, Mrs. Monaghan was called in her own behalf and made the following statement:— Margaret Monaghan, residing on First avenne, near Sixty-first street, says:—I often give a cure for fever and ague, but 1 have not given it for the last ten years. On this occasion { gave this cure to the deceased at his request on last Saturday, Augast 21, atthe house of Mrs. Colbert, ongfirst avenue, near Sixty-tirgt sireet. ‘The cure was composed of @ pas of ale and a ten-cent paper of tobacco, which he drank, Immediately afier drinking it vomiting set in, This cpconrages by ordering him to dring lukewarm water, He vomited six of seven times; each time it continued for three minutes, He took the dose about two o'clock P. M. A Itttle before four o'clock he sald he felt better, but thought something Still remained in his right side. Two persons pre- sent advised him to take more. 1 then mixed half a dose for him, and in half an hour he lay back sud- dently in the bed and expired, He refused to take the warm water from me after taking the jast dose. brs. Shine and Cushman made @ post mortem examination on the body, and found the stomach of deceased highly inflamed end congested —cvidently the result of some trritant polson. Tiere was also in the stomach and tntestines considerable dark- colored fuid, which smelled strongly of tobacco. In the opinion of the medical gentiemen deatirwas caused by syncope, resulting from exhaustion, gon- sequent upon excessive vomiting produced by a Poisonous dose of tobacco. Without concluding the investigation Coroner Flynn transmitted the testimony thus tar taken to the Board of Health, for such action as may be deemed necessary. Jn the meantime Mrs. Monoghan 1s at liberty on $1,000 ball, [hdetetg 3 the result of the Inquisition. , There 13 no criminal intent charged on the part of the accused, ’ THE BYRON SCANDAL. To THE Epitor or Tue HeraLp:— For the first time in my life I take the liberty of addressing a public paper, but, as an Englishman, £ feel it my duty on the present occasion to do so. Thave been reading the whole of the Byron scandal case, which I believe you have justly termod it, and I fally concur tn your articie upon tt, An apology is due to the public for this wanton, uncharitabie, unchristian-like attack on one of the greatest and Most admired poets of his age, Can there be any @ood derived to society by making rekearches among the tombs for the purpose of holding up the memories of those who have passed away to give an account for the deeds done in the body to public censure? I think not. Would it mot be more con- sistent with the teachings of the patcern of ali good to strive to follow His example who, when the woman taken in the actof adultery was brought before him for the purpose of being stoned to death, rebuked them by saying, ‘Let him that is without fault cast the first stone?’ But,,alas, how little of this Christian charity is exemplified tn our would-be modern teachers, which leads us to oxen froma religious novelists, political preachers and religious humbugs, good Lord deliver us. In conclusion I would suggest to these would-be modern teachers the idea of studying the br hie Him who was bean ly up at the foot of Gamaliel, wiro “AU religion aevold of charity is but as tinkling brass and a sounding cymbal.” JUSTICE.
