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 for New York at 5 p.m. to-day.

A. N. YOUNG.
