TIAVANA, Sept. 9, 1869, On Monday, the 6th, arrived here the steamer Pelayo, from various points along the north coast, bringing seventy-seven Spanish soldiers and nine- teen officers, Of the former sixty-six are wounded men. Commandant Boniche, twice wounded in the head, 1s also among the passengers, She brings information of a desperate attack by the insurgents on Las Tunas, and their repuleo by the garrison of that place on the 10th of August, The delay in the transmission of the news was Goubtiess owing to the fact that the Cubans are in large numbers between Tunas and Pucrto Padre and communication 1s seltom and diMeult. Wo have aa yet only the Spanish accounts, not @ word having arrived through Cuban sources, These fn the past have been by no means remarkable for their truthfulness, and should, therefore, be taken with many grains of allowance, The official report of Lieutenant Colonel Boniche, chiet of the gar- Tigson at the time of the attack, appears in the Gazetie, itis very long and unreasonably diffusive, His own force had been reduced (o 400 mea, while the insurrects, according to the statement of a pri- soner taken during the figit, numbered between five ‘and #ix thousand and one piece of artillery. About an hour previous % the sttack 200 men of the gar- rigon, under Coiunei Favela, had gone out to collect eattle, leaving but 200 to receive the onslaught of the enemy. The attack commenced at half-past four A, M., On the castern side of tue town, Where it was sustained for a few miputes by a small force there, quickly reinforced from the plaza, Ihe Spaniards were fignting behind their trenches, 1t will be recol- Jecied. The attack soon became general at the four principal poinis of the town. Colonel Favela, near- ing the firlug from the outelde, returned on the doubie quick, and entering the town from the north, attacked the enemy in the rear, causing him great losses, He seems to have succeeded in reaching the plaza without difficulty and his force im- Mediately strengthened the weaker points, The fight continued with varied success at we different points up to haif-past one Pp M. At one time the insurgents had Possession of nearly ail the bulidings in the southern part of the town and were working their way to- Wards the trenches surrounding the plaza by cutting through the walls of the houses. As the attacks at the other points had mostly ceased the commandant concenirated his force and moved on the enemy in ‘wat direction, his men being subdivided into two divisions. The insurgents were protected by barri- eades of furniture, which were carried at the point of the bayonet, while the enemy trom the house- tops and from other points poured down a deadly fire upon the charging column. ‘he advance of the Oubans tn that direction was checxed, and the fight €arried to another portion of thetown, During the morning certain barracks occupied by the Spauiards were abandoned and burned to prevent their falling into the hands of the Cubans. At tweive o’viock the commandant set fire to eight or ten houses about the plaza, in order to surround himself with a more open space. further details of the ight are given, but they are consused aud without interest, Athalf- past one P, M, the insurgents retired towards the country, after having set fire to more than 100 houses, mostiy thatched, During the fight the Cubans kept up a@ lively fre with their oue piece of artillery, directed mostly against the obureh tower, beneath which the military hospital was situated and falling mostly in the court yard. No, says the report, the intention of the enemy in the attack was to capture tho place and make it the seat of the republican government. “This Was evident from a prociamatton of Cespedes, at- tached to the report, a transiation of whici I for- Ward, Cespedes and Quesada, it is said, contem- piaeg the action trom & distant eminence, and near bem, on the Principe road, was seen a train, doubt- less containing the insurgent archives, brought.up in the evident expeciation that it wouid be au easy matter to take the town. The following is the pro- ciamation of Cespedes referred to:— SOLDIERS OF THE CAMAGUAY AND OF TUNAB:— ‘To you has been confided one of the most tmportant opera- {ions of the campaign.

Private accounts through Spanish sources give little additional. The loss of the troops is set down at 103 killed, no wounded given. A letter from an oiilcer says:—"‘At one time the prison building was like to fail into the hands of the enemy, and to prevent the escape of Vhe mmates they were all shut up and the edifice joc It is supposed many perished in the janes. Doubtless some time will pass before the facts of the engagement are known. As was stated, the commandant, Boniche, comes wounded on tie Pe- layo. He makes his report here, end of course as favorable to the Spanish side as possible. The large Bumber of wounded here and others coming with him from so small a garrison, certainly looks sus- picious. The Cubans, though without information, are confident that they have won a victory aud have either taken or destroyed the town. Among the trophies of the engagement brought here is a splen- did Cuban flag, said to bave cost $3,000. it has three blue stripes on a white body, paraliel with the lone star. it was exposed to public gaze in front of the palace for the last day or two, and attracted much atiention, The flag was captured by first sergeant Martin, of the Second battailon of Havana, who was afterwards Killed, Since bis arrival Boniche has en the recipient of a serenade by the volunteers of javana, General Lesca, commanding tn the Cinco Villas, having recovered from his ricumatism, leaves for his headquarters to-day in the steamer Nuevo Al- Mendario, accompanied by a batiahon of the “Guias de Rodas.’?

THE GALLOWS, Execution Crime and Panishment Jesse Watkins, a negro, was hung in the jail yard at Savannah, Ga., at nine o’clock on the morning of Friday, the 10th inst. The following are the par- vculars of the crime and the scenes at the exe- cution:— About the lst of September, 1868, Charlie Wilson, @ little white hoy, went out hunting, and when about two miles from Savannah came suddenly upon Jesse and another negro, who had gone out to kill acow. Jesse, without any provocation what- ever, shot Charlie dead with a musket he had, then hid the body im the bushes and carried off the de- Charlie not ceased’s gun and accoutrements, coming home at the usual hour his mother became uneasy and asearch was commenced. Its body was not found for tree days, eenogh over 100 persons were out searching for him. bout two months after the murder Jesse’s companion turned State's evidence. As the case was carried through the various courts other evidence was introduced which fully established the guilt of the accused, and in May last Judge Schley, of the Superior Court, sentenced him to be banged. The cashier of the Freedmen’s Bureau in very much in collecting testimony to prove the in- nocence of Jesse aiter he pad been sentencea, He induced Governor Bullock to twice respite Jesse; but on last Thursday the Governor, by telegraph, ordered the execution, ‘rhe scaffold was in the Jail yard, to which only the clergy and the reporters were at first admitted; bnt after a wile the officers consented that the crowd outside should come in. Rey. Fathers Hamilton and Laugaree ofticiated. When the eross—the sacred embiem of the religion he had professed—was heid np to bim, he pressed his lips upon it with a zeal, for the moment oblivious of all other circum- stances or surroundings. Father Hamilton then Whispered the last words in his ear, and, bidding him goodby, to which Jesse responded with much feeling, descended a few steps and addressed the spectators, saying:—“The unfortunate man who is now about to meet his God desires me to say that he dies truly sorry for all his sins; that be has prayed for you all, and as his soul goes inio eternity he desizes each of you to say @ short prayer for its repose.” While Father Hamilton was speakin: every hat was raised in solema and respectiul attention. Just before adjusting the cap Sheriff Doouer asked:—‘‘Jesse, have you anything you wish to say to those present?” After a moment's hesitation the condemned man reyes forward a few inches and replied: Yea, sir, [ will say a few words;’’ then to the crowd: “Gentlemen, this 18 @ solemn occasion. i feel that it 1s God’s will for me to die, I leave all in His hands; His commands must be fulfilled. I wish you would all pray for me, as I have prayed for you all. I am sorry for all the sins I may have committed, I forgive every one. The man who swore against me, I ireely forgive even Lim, and have prayed for him.” Alter the speech the cap and noose were adjusted, the steps taken away, and the sueriif asked, “Jesse, are you ready" to which he replied, in a loud, firm voice, “Yes, sir!” The fatal hatchet fell, severing with one blow the cord that held up the trap, With a quick, sharp fall and a dujl thug the ge hung suspended in mia air, while the terrible struggie with death began. Though the fall was fully seven feet it failed to break tle victim's neck, and death ensued froi strangulation. Fos a few seconds not the least motion was perceptibie; then the arms drew up, tightening the rope upon them almost to breaking the skin; two or three violent efforts to expand the lungs were followed by a drawing up of the lower limbs, then all was still, and in two min- utes, to external appearance, the spirit of Jesse Watkins had left the body forever. The heart still beat, however, full and strong. At the expiration of ten minutes the heart was still beating at the rate of forty pulsations to the minute. Five minutes more passed and the surgeons pronounced life ex- tinct, PROBABLE WIFE MURDER, About hatf-past ten o'clock on Tuesday night an altercation occurred between James Hogan and his wife Mary at their residence, No, 4 Horatio street, when the former drew a knife from his pocket and lunged the large blade in the jest side of his wife, inflicting a severe Wound.

In the Matter af the Habeas Corpus of Henry Frothingham.—The particulars of this case ap- peared in the HERALD a few days since, wherein it was shown, as claimed by counsel, that Mr. Frothingham was detamed in the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum against his will and without being afiiicted with any sanity whatever. The matter came up yesterday in pursuance of ad- journment, on areturn to the writ by Dr. Brown, the physician in charge of the asylum. ‘The doctor's return set forth that the petitioner was a voluntary inmate of the asylum, was at liberty to go and come when he pleased, and that he tvas not now tn his {the Doctor's) custody or under his control; that when the writ was received by him he told the peti- tioner that he supposed the object was to obtain his release, and (hat that being the object there was no necessity for any publicity of the matter, and he was therefore at liberty to Ho; that when Frothing- lam came to the asylum he was not in a perfectly sane condition of mind, and although mucb im- proved he was not even now, in his judgment, per- fectly restored; that the petitioner still cherished very bitter feeiings against certain parties, although bg abate be regarded as absolutely dangerous 0 lite.

Ata meeting of the medicat officers of this Board, held on Tuesday, Sanitary Superintendent Harris gave a resumé of the work performed in the rural districts, It appears that there are seven Inspector- ships authorized im the rural portions of the Metro- Politan District, viz., that of Dr. P. Stewart (Peeks- kt), Cortland; Dr. George J. Fisher (Sing sing), Ossinning; Dr. George Baylis (Irvington on Hudson), Greenburg; Dr. N. K. Freeman, West Farms and Morrisania; Dr. George P. Wright, Newtown; Dr. William 0, Meagher, Edgewater; Dr. Solomon An- drews, Westfield. ‘The Doctor remarked, these seven medical officers are cnirusied with the duty of informing and advising the Board of Heaitn and, exe cutidg or supervising the execution of the Board's orders in the rural towns. ‘That their duties will be met and honorably discharged, I think we need not doudt, The service must be performed as a duty; we must and can trast the communities for that compensation which 1s due for useful public labors. Your record of services, gentiemen, 18 1n your respective towns and viilages, and is verified at the office of the Central Hoard of Health, It will Hot be cast into oblivion nor go unrequited, As superintendent and adviser in the worg 1 urge that the duties imposed by the laws be effectively dis- charged by every sanitary officer, and that the improvement and guarding of the public health in the towns and villages of the Metropolitan District be skilfully and very earnestly #tudied and meured by you, of whom the Board of Health requires this service, In speaking of the water supply he saya:—The Croton and the Ridgewood are purer eources of supply than the village weils, but upon the wells the rurai and village population mainiy depends for Water, The sanitary qualities of such water and of any other water Supply sbould be guarded from ex- cremental foulness. ‘The soakage from privy vaults and outhouses into wells and other reservoirs of water used by families destroys many livea every season in this district. We must ever be watchful of this soarce of evil. Disgusting as the thought of such fith soakage inte drinking water is, We can prevent such disgusting and deadly consequences only by intelligently urging and alding the people to guard against foul weils, Tne bulance of the address principally related to the duties of Inspectors under the law, from which he largely quoted for the information of his sub- ordinates, EXPLOSIVE OILS.

It wiil be remembered by our readers that a full report of the charge of having stolen these bonds, as made against a young clerk named Riley, was given in the HERALD on his examiuation a week ago. Butier had been arrested by Captain Jourdan and was brought up to answer. Ex-duage Puililips appeared as his counsel, and said they were ready to go on with the hearing of the case; but Mr. McKeon, who appeared for the prose- cutors, Messrs, Colvill, of Wall street, said that witnesses whose attendance was in- evitably necessary were ot present, and after @ short consultation the hearing of the case against Butler was deterred until Friday, Mr. B, A. Clarke, the principal witness against Riley, was placed under cross-examination by the counsel, who confirmed the testimony given at the previous hearing—that @ packet contaiuing these ten one- thousand dollar bonds was given to the prisoner Raley to take to the Safe Deposit Company, and that when the packet was opened the next day the bills were missing. It ts alleged on the part of tho pro- secution that the notes were stolen by Riley in their transit Irom one office to the other, The further hearing of this case was adjourned until this mora- mg.

The following is a complete list of marine trans- fers from the Custom House from the sist day of August to September 15:— WRECKED IN THE GALE. Toss of the Whaling Bark Thomas Winslow OW Cape May—Seven of the Crew Drowned—= The Others Rescued by a Passing Vessel= Fall and Interesting Particulars. ‘The disastrous effects of the late terrible gale Sweeping along our entire Atlantic coast are gradue ally making themselves known. On the Sth instant, while the hurricane was at its height, the whaling bark Thomas Winslow, commanded by Captain Rus sell, of New Bedford, Masa., then almost 160 miles east of Cape May, wassuddenly thrown upon her beam ends and soon became a com: lete WItO'. Seven of the crew were washed overboard and lost. A passing veasel happily rescued the remainder. ‘The following are the full detatis of the disaster and rescue of the survivors as furnished by Captain Russeil:— The Thomas Winslow left New Bedford June 4, 1867, on a whaling Voyage, intenaing to be goneonly about eighteen months, but the poor success of the cruise caused her absence to be protracted longer than was intended. Ag it was she had only 150 bar- rels of oil on when entering on her retura voyage. Though bullt over thirty years ago the vVesse) Was stanch and her sea-gotng quatities unim- aired, Captain Russell, in command of her on her jast voyage, firat sailed in her in 1840, and bas folk lowed the Bea ever since, He says he never encoun- tered a more sudden or severe hurricane while it lasted than that in which his vessel was lost. On the bark were twenty-two men, ali told. Leaving the coast, taking Bar- bados on the way, which port sie left on the 13th of May, they sailed along easily, with tolerably fair winds, till reaching latitude 38 deg. 50 min. and longitude 71 50, which, stated above, is about 150 miles to the eastward Cape May. There were unmistakable indications of @ squall, bat not the sudden and severe hi 3 that soon swept upon them with seeming demonia- cal fury. At tive A. M, the wind was southeast, the barometer 30.10, ana the ship beaded south-south- west, Alsix A, M. topsalls were reefed, the light sails being previously furied. At aeven A. M. fore- topsail aud foresail were furled and the topsail close reefed. The batches were secured and boas and everything in readiness for any emergency, At eight A. Al. was furied the maintopsail and forevop- mast staysail and foot of the main spencer hauled out. The barometer was then 29,90, The violence til ten A. M, preparation waa made to meet its violence there was no apprehen- sion of real danger, A sudden gust, as if concene trating in its vehemence all the powers of Zolus, swept over them. Tne ship was svon on her beam ends, with mastheads under water. Cabin skylight, companionway and forescutule were washed away. When the ship went over all but four men gained a place in the mizzen chains, These four, stragelia wildly for a moment, disappeared, in iull sight 0! them, into the depths of the raging sea, The sailors, seeing their ‘ilous position and work- ing for dear life, quickly cut away the weather lan- yards, fore, main and mizzen, and the ship partly Tigated. While the weather lanyards were being cas away seven men Were Washed oi from the m! chains. Three of th like the four who had jugs preceded tiem to watery graves, coon sank from sight beueath the boiling breaxers. Captain Russell saw that there was no hope of saving the veasel. The only hope of saving the ves. of those still sarviving the fury of the tempest waa through the assistance of some passing vessel. Clinging desperately to the wrecked bark, which in ata righted position Was rapidly filling with water, the men were becoming rapidly exhausted, an there was momentary alge toat the vessel wouid sink. Signals of distress were hoisted, and every eye was strained to catch a glimpse of some passing sail. Hours passed and no sai! was to be seen; the storm coutinued to rage with unabated fary aud the great waves broke over the ship, threat- ening to enguipi it every instant. About one P. M, the storm began to abate; new hope kimdied in the hearis of the men, An hour passed, and still an- other, and yet no sail showed itseif. At three P. M. @ gall Was seen, and all felt that a renewed lease of lite was within their grasp. it came nearer and nearer, and all believed that resoue was at hand. It proved to be @ large brig-rigged steamer; It cams within two miles or them and they could even see the men on the deck; but it paseed on, taking no notice of them. Captain Russell and lis men were about ready to give up in despair, for it was evident their shattered bark cou'd remain above water but a stort time longer. Happily anotver sail was speedliy seen, mat of a brig, to the windward. More signals of distiess were ut up. From the brig these signals were seen, and in A short time ste changed her course and made for them. Passing under their lee a emall boat was lowered, and very shortly the dftcen survivors were rescued. ‘fhe brig proved to be the J. H. A. Pitt, Captain Cowen, three days Irom New York, bound for Bermuda. They were treated with the utmost kinduess on this vessel. Neither the captain nor any ofits men saved anything but tue clothes they wore. After two days’ sail the Pitt met the Danish brig Jutland, of Copenhagen, Captain Hoffding, pound from ito Janeiro to this port, On maxing known their situation to Captain Hotfding he kindly offered to take on board all he could accoinmodate, Cap- tain Russell, )..W. Simpson, first mate; Ciiarles FB, Childs, second mate; Charles Kewinter, third mate, and George H. Cleveland, seaman, evailed them- selves of lita kind offer, Captam Ruaseil, from whom We have recelved the above facts, expresses great obligation for the Kindness and gj org § shown him and his men on the Jutiand. He says i 13 impossible for them to have been treated better. He aiso gives special credtt to Mr. Jolin H, Whiting, Uirst odlcer of the itt, for his volunteering to take charge of the smali boat sent iu a heavy sea to their rescue. The names of the sevea men who were drowned were Joun A. Amos, of Jamaica Plains; Rufus Dexter, of Marion; Henvy Wingard, a Gere man; Manue! —, a Portuguese, and three French fares batives of Seycheiles, Whose Games are un- own. THE SUICIDE FOR LOVE. ‘Throwing Bonquets and Swailow!ng Arsenic. An inquest was yesterday held at the Coroners? office by Coroner Flynn, in the case of Frederick Brodersov, Who committed suicide by poisoaing as No, 825 First avenue because his landiady, Mary Hartang, refused to marry him. Dr. Hermann testified to being called to see de ceased, who confessed to him tat he had taken Polson, and the doctor found tv the room a quantity of yellow arsenic, which Broderson said he had pur- chased at the drug store of Henry E. Molewitz, No. 768 Second avenue; Broderson repented of the rash act, and begged of the doctor to save him, if.pog- bee ty the euflerer was beyond the reach of medi- cal a:d. Mr. Molewitz testified that he sold deceased ten cents’ wortn of yellow arsenic, which he said he wanted for telegraphic purposes: at tue time of making application for the poison deceased appeared to be sober and not excited. M lewite bas fre- quently sold arsenic for like purposes. Mary Hartung deposed that deceased bad made a Proposition of marriage to her, which she refused and requested him not to call upon her again on tuat business. He, however, renewer his suit, aud not be ing admitted to the lady’s room threw a Douquet nto the window. Subsequently he gaiaed admission to the room and asking for pen and paper le wrote two letters and went out, but returned cgain and en tered a rear room, whea the es8 ea some yel- Jow stuff around his mouth.
