THE INVASION , OP CUBA,' j
. An extra from the office of the Charleston Morcu*,
ry brings us Ufo following intelligence respecting thej
late invasioh of Cuba, prepared by.an officer of rank
in-that expedition, it, , with the loiters from Key
West and Havana, complete end authentic |
account of the whole matter, which is highly inter* t
eslmg: • , • . s . j
Sketch of the Operations of the late Llbera
ting Army of Cuba.
On the Ifilh of May, when near the. Island of j
Muhcrcs, off the canal lhe lhr.ce.divi
sioni .of Uio eipedllioh, n,umbering,in all six hund*
red and nine nieh, wore cdhceulraled.on llie steam*
ship Creole. ; ;
They consisted of a regiment from Kentucky,
a Keghnenl front Louisiana, a battalion from Missis
sippi, arid one Independent company from the sumo
Stale.
. two schooners which had belonged to the e*.
pcbillon, were.sent towards ]scw prlcoiif, and tho
slomship Blurted direct, for tho town of Cardenas, on
the northern Coast of Cuba. -
- The commander of tho expedition, Gon. Lopox,
Relieved tlial tlnil oily.could be surprised and tuken j
in a fetv minutes, the morninf cara.sciljed and taken; |
and the whole of our army landed in Mutaniae the I
same evening by Ibo railroad.
The General also'thought that little resistance
would bo mode at Cardenas:—that the large number I
of emigrants tlicre.from ijm United Slates would join i
the liberating standard, ns would the Cuban popula-
lion, and perhaps the Spanish garrison.
Bui these. expectations of this hruve, honest* and
patriotic veteran, wore entirely disappointed, and the
expedition in consequence, has utterly failed in ae
.cafiipljHhinjr its object.
2 o'clock.bn llife night of the ! 7th, tho steamer,
spcecedod in landing within a few yards of the
wharf; mid after some delay, a single plunk was
connected with the shore, over winch the troops by
single files were disembarked/
The sentinel on the wharf had early discovered
us, and informed the garrison arid thy of oiir ap
proach; sb that they wefo Well prepared to give us a
hostile reception. ■ * • ,
. At least an hour was spent in disemburkulmn.—
fty the previous order of, the Commanding General,’
the troops were landed as follows: the Kentucky
Regiment first; the Louisiana regiment second, and
tho Mississippi Bsilntinn third. They all into
action, however, ■ within a few minutes of sfeoh oth.
or. . ■ • ....
Half Iho Kentucky regiment were detached fcrtdc.r
their Lieut* Colonel Ip Iho right of (ho town, to at
tuck any force that might bo found there, and to pre
vent any egress, impossible, from iho place. But
llic latter duly was u'nprae|icnblq.
Company A, of the Mississippi battalion,, was
sent to capture ond hold, possession of Iho railroad
earn, engineers, employees, &.C., whOiti v we had’
learned; would leave for Mulanzasi at six o’clock;
A. M* , . . .. ......
After a sharp conlesl, this company succeeded in
taking possession of the railroad cars, and in captu
ring twice its own number.of armed troops, and re
taining them us prisuncro. '•***•
The action in the city soon becamegencrnl. ..Tho
garrison-wns concch'trnlbtf utitfcf ih’e Govefnof in
the Cilidcl. In' the efforts of pur,men to storm this
place, the Colonel of the Kentucky regiment wm
shut in the leg while gallantly fighting. ot the hear
of his men. Boon after the CohmuLuLllio Loulshtm
troops was wounded In the shoulder, while leading
his regiment against the same Cittdel, and almost
simultaneously the Adjutant Gcnciulof tho army
was shot in the leg.
Sooh after the Colonels of these regiments were
wounded, tho throe divisions, respectively under their
Major and Lieut. Colonels, made a combined ditaolr
on the Cittdel.
While this attack wns being made, (he guard of
soldiers at tho prison nt the corner of (he Grout
Square uf the town, fired into dm Mississippi balta
lion from the widows. The Lieut. Colonel command
lug, immediately ordered two of Its companies. (B.
am! C.,) to about face and. fire into Iho building.—
The order was obeyed with such promptness and of
feel as to compel Its immediate nhamlonnlcnt. Un
der tho orders of tho Lieut. Colonel they then bat
tered down the doors and look possession of this im
porl.ml position.
Having.left a guard in this building, these compa
nies again joined in (he attack on the. Cilidcl, nnd
materially assisted the Louisiana aijd Kentucky
troops, who were still engaged In storming that
place, with great loss, ond with unsurpassed gallan
try. ... 'i - (1>
In the meantime Cumpnpy (D.).of lJ»o Mississippi
battalion had baltoruq down (ho. doors oftlio corner
hoM.ap opposite lh« cilidol, and opposite (lie. prlaoti
house,' lin'd with theft, rifles did deadly execution on
the Spanish garrison, •• '
.Ah independent company from Mississippi, having
no pluco tliuii) In ihp buttle, connected it*
self with l]iu lour cmVipiini'es pf the rifle battalion
from that Slate,’and fought with it until Iho Lieut.
Colonel, observing Gon. Lopez, without a body guard,'
fearlessly exposing himself to (ho fire from' the Cl*
tide), detached this independent eompfinyJO that do*
jy. They gitjliiniiy.flnrlorfiied It,*end had an officer
killed In joining the,General,
About sun fine, a torch.was lighted by Gen. Impel**
own hands, against one pf the floor* of (|ie cilldel,
and soon the building belfjw was in..flumes... Never*
Iheless the Spanish Garrison continued, lung after, to
keep up, a destructive flro fropi (hi? flat and parapet
led roof aftpvp* . It was i\ol unlit it .became man]lnst
(ha’i the building would soon blow up, thtoP the Gov
ernor of the city, gffinersund garrison, came down
and • surrendered. They fought with a gallantry
unsupassed by any troops,
The authorities now surrendered tho city, the lull
cd on bolhsidos wore removed, and the wounded taken
euro of. The- troop* of the expedition bivouacked
in the Gu-al Square.
(Jen. Lopez was now busy In organizing those who
seemed likely to join them, and in preparing to
march towards Malanias (hat oycnlngk . !
At two o’clock ho ordered - two of the tcmalning
throe companies of tho Mississippi battalion (one
being al the railroad donut) to march to (hu steam
ship and place all the ammunition and stores of tho
expedition on thd cars. In on hour tho work wns
dune, when orders came' to place them buck again
on the steamship.. In another hour this also was
dime, and thu work was just accomplished when tho
buttle of the evening began in tlio (own.
The Lieut. Colonel of tho Kentucky, Regiment du
ring the evening had marched ills three Inin the
town, and they with tho L»uWlonluns did this whole
duty. ■ ■
The Lieutenant Colonel and the Major in coin*
nund of tho Mississippi battalion at the steamship,
against the positive orders nf the General In ChleJ,
termed their men and quickly joined .their fol
low soldiers in the oily. The enemy hud been io.
pulsed however with great loiii by tho tlin© of their
arrival, : j
Oen. Lopes now ordered tho whole, force to relm
bark en board the steamship, und the vessel stood out
lo ses. At three o'clock In the morning she run
herd aground. Tho weight, of the men and of the
ammunition made U clear thot the wrtald remain
sgsuund and bs captured by the first Spanish man
of wi»r who discovered her, unless lighlonsd. Site had
no artillery, and a man . of.war could stand off and
batter her to pieces. . , „
In this extremity the Commanding General order
ed the ammunition to be thrown overboard. With
the exception of a small number of boxes, this was
done, and the vessel at daylight was afloat.
The troops soon inquitod to what place they wore
bound. Gun. Lopes informed them (hut he desired
lb proceed to (ho town of Mantun, on the Northwest
const uf the Island, and again attempt the liberation
of Cuba. ‘ . ■
Many officers expressed themselves willing to go
vytth'hiin, but nine tenths of the' soldiers positively
. refused., They’assigned' the weighty reason of the
i scarcity of ninmunlllbnVthe absence of nr I M ) j*fJ r ,T7

They demanded lo be lhe nearest United

will) them in so reasonable a&olpi urination. Gen;
Lopez was (breed to yield to tlibir wishes, and gave
up.the command of tho . -V, ;
