No. 739.
Mr. Young to Mr. Fish.
Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 18, 1873. (Received December 30.)
Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a complete list of the persons taken from on board the United States merchant-steamer Virginius. I was present on board of the United States steamer Juniata, at the solicitation of Commander D. S. Braine, when the remaining prisoners were delivered on board this morning. Those checked are the persons delivered, and those not checked are the names of those shot. I improve this opportunity to send this direct, as the Juniata leaves this port for New York at 5 p.m. to-day.
List of one hundred and fifty-five people captured on board the American steamer Virginius by the Spanish steamer Tornado, brought to the port of Santiago de Cuba, and turned over to the authorities.
