Some of the soldiers wept profusely, and there was qoite a pathetic aspect to the affair. As the s lip swoog away from the pier the soldiers on board of her raised a faint obeer, and the women proceeded to the sea wall, where they stood for boors waving their handker? chiefs not il the San Francisco was only a speck on the horizon.

Continuing, tbe duke blamed the liberals, who, be said, oould have avert? ed war, either by accepted the proffer? ed good offices of the United States mioister, GeB. Stewert L.
