The name is impressed upon the glass in an

New YORK, Nov. 17.-Oficial infOrma-
ton has been received by the Department
of State, from the Spanish Minister at
Washington, to the effect that the laws Of
the Island of Cuba forbid the enterance Of
any vessel into the harbor Of Havana after
nightfall, or before a specified hour in the
morning, and that it is the duty of the
officer on guard at the Moro Castle to fire
into any vessel breaking the regulation
The steamer Crescent City recently viola
ted these rules and the officers in the Moro
at the time Have been imprisoned for not
firing into her. The Captain General has
given peremptory orders to fire into the
the Crescent City il she again breaks these
regulations.
The order giving to war steamer to
cruise off the Moro and prevent the enter
ance of the Crescent City, is believed to
havsbeen promulgated under the influence
of offended Spaniards, who persuaded the
General that any concession in the matter
would appear cowardly.
Purser Smith has made affidavit on oath
denying the charges made against him by
the Havana authorities. II is as follows

sons in the port of Havana, and have been

persons. are all utterly without foundation.
Il have never written or published any,
thing against the Government of the said
island. or in any manner interfered with
the affairs of the island, or the proceedings
of the authorities. have confined my
self entirely to the discharge of the duties
of purser of the ship, and demeanede my
self accordingly.
Furthermore, it has always been the
express command of Capt. Porter, and of
the Mail Steamship Company, that no
officer or other person in the employ of the
company, should be allowed to carry any
letter outside of the maj other than those
belonging to the ships Witness. But when
letters have been left on the steamer, after
the mails closed and were placed in the
charge of the purser. III all cases they de-
livered TO the postmaster at Havana.
