A letter\nreceived hero from a correspondent In Havana, who is closo to\nConsul-Gonoral Lee, gives a\ndramatic account of tho episode,\nAccording to the latter when the\nVigilancia put into Havana tho\nSpanish authorities domanded\nthe BiiiTondot' of Senor Ingle\nFumandoi!, a Mexican, who was\non board the vessel, Tho Span\niards alleged thatFnrnanden was\nnot it Mexican but a subject of\nSpain. Captain John Mcintosh,\nof the Vigilancia refused to surrender Fiiriiiindw,.    Then  the\nSpanish authorities told Captain\nMt'liitiirili that if tlio Vigilanciij\nattempted In go .to sea with Fum\nanclea on board she wuiild bo sunk\nby   tho  gnus ,nf  Mum Castle.\nCaptain  Mcintosh  Immediately\nlaid llie iiiiilli'r before Consul-\n('onoriil \"Lob, who qqmplimonted\ntlio captain nu liis bravery uml\ntold hlm to take tho Vigilancii)\nin sen when Iio pleased,,   Consul\n(liMiiii'iil Loo wus greatly enraged\nat the throat lo sink llio Vlgilaa-\nciu, and is reported lo have said\nto Captain Mcintosh i   ''If tin;\nguns of Moro Castle sink your\nship, American warships will bu\nbombarding   Havana   within  u\nweek,\"    Captain Mcintosh returned  to the Vigilancia   and\nConsul  Lee   informed  Captain\nGeneral Weyler that tho vesscj\nwas going to sea and if any attempt was made to take o'lF.ttrn.-\nandez, ot- if ,tho vessel was fired\nupon,  Spain must tako the consequences.   General Weylor immediately summoned the Cabinet\nand while the council was considering the .matter the Vigilancia.\nbegan  to  weigh anchor,    The\nSpanish officers on board proles-\nted, but Captain Mcintosh said i\n\" Damn your objections, my ship\nhas been cleared and my consul\ntold me to go to sou,  I am going\nand dare you to try and prevent\nme,   Get off my ship,\" and with\nthat he roughly shoved the Span,\niards into the waiting boats, and\nthe Vigilancia, Hying tho stars\nand stripes, started for the mouth\nof-the-harbor, which is commanded by ),ho guns of Moro Castle.\nAll was excitement in Havana,\nd-nci the quay and house tops woro\nlined with hundreds of persons.\nwjio  expected   tho Vigilancia\nwould be fired upon.    Consul\nGeneral Lee himself watched the\nVigilancia through a glass.    In\nthe meanwhile signals were being\nexchanged    between    General\nWeyler's palace and Moro Castle,\nand in the latter place were signs\nof great excitement,   Slowly the\nVigilancia entered the mouth of\nthe harbor and it was noticed tho\nguns of Moro Castle were turned\non the ship.   The Vigilancia repeatedly signalled Moro Castle i\n\"I am going to sea,\" but no an.\nswer came from the fort until the\nvessel was in blue water and then\nthe Spaniards ran up the signal\nwhich means \"good-bye,\"\nAnother expedition is undoubtedly off for Cuba.
