Heroic Consuls. The Consuls of Groat Britain anil the United Slntes Interpose their Fla« anil Persons to Save a Cuban Itetnaoc. The following interesting and exciting narative, of which we published a short telegraphic account a few days ago. is extracted from the Jamaica Guardian of Aug. 7, to which it. was furnished by a errespondent who recently escaped from Santiago de Cuba, where he was persecuted by the Spanish volunteers in consequence of being suspected as a “Cuban sympathizer.’ - Mr. Ramsden, the consul, being well known anti greatly respected in Kingston, the subject has been one of gcn£?ijtjsConversation, while his heroic conduct has called forth expressions of universal admiration. The narrative, runs thus: j “A poor unfortunate seaman had been apprehended on a charge • of being implicated in a filibuster- , ing expedition, and he was thrust ■ into prison and afterward con-j detuned to be shot, on evidence as ; - unlikely and improbableas anyone i could conceive, lie was an American, the son of English parents, and notwithstanding the strenuous effort on ahc part of the English j and American consuls, the Spanish authorities seemed determined to sacrifice this poor man’s life. On the morning appointed for his execution, he was marched out to the usual place, amidst a great show of bloody solemnity. He was immediately followed by Mr. Ramsden, British vice consul, and the American vice consul, to make a still further protest in the prig oner's favor. “Mr. Ramsden read the document, protesting in the name of England and America, declaring that the prisoner was altogether innocent of the charge which had been laid against him, demanding his immediate release, and deelar ing if the unfortunate man's life was taken, those who took it would be guilty of murder, and and would be alike answerable to the governments of England and the United States of America. During the reading of this document, which was done with calmness and determination, the prisoner fainted from excitement, and there were strong signs of impatience on the part of the Spanish troops, who manifested a thorough determination to force the authorities to take this man's life in spite of ail remonstrance. “A consultation ■followed, and Mr. Ramsden and the American consul were eventually infornp d that their remonstrance came too late ; the prisoner had already been sentenced to death for having taken up arms against Spain, and that the sentence must be carried into effpci. With this the order was given to the firing party to‘present.’ It. was the work of an instant, and Mr. Consul Ramsden and the American consul, rushing with the flag of their respective nations before tdio levelled rifles of the Spanish troops, and in front of the unfortunate man, shouted Hold !’ And, Air. Ramsden, throwing the English flag around himself and the prisoner, and addressing the officer in charge of the firing party, said: ‘Gentlemen, as n consul of her Britannic majesty. I cannot stand silently by and see this foul murder of an innocent man- It is my duty to protect his life, and if you tpke *his, you must take it through these !’—placing hitnself immediately in front of the condemned seaman, his eyes sparkling, while his manly form heaved with the indignation his speech had so heroically expressed. The American consul, wrapped in the ‘stars and strip.es of the union, stood abreast and for some moments the Spaniards stood aghast, the conduct of these two consuls being more than they could com prebend. The emotion of the prisoner was extreme; he was supported right and left by the consuls’, and the poor fellow shed a profusion of tears form weariness an 1 excitement. A consultation was again held, and the prisoner, marched back to jail under an cs cort of troops, the consuls supporting the unhappy man all the way along. The furore was beyond description. Afterdark the prisoner was reprieved. and finally ship- „ ped off to the country, through the indefatigable exertion of the con tmls.” « Tumceii vxce.—God gave me a good face and manly form —I would not disfigure what He gave was good enough to give me. ' And lie gave me a soul—a heart to love—a brain in which' to coin thoughts and ideas—and an intel leet for my own guidance, and I trust, in some degree the benefit of others. And what he was good enough to give me I would not rear, scar, or weaken by knife or instrument in mine own bands or by the use of that poison which is sure to destroy in proportion to its use. And the fire which has done so much damage—which would consume mind and body, thank Almighty God. I have raandood sufficient to warn my fellow men against toying with. And those who may not like .me for my would despise me if a drunkard -.-“Bxc* Powebot. - ,’
