Tgae Crescent City.

F# -
The N. o. Pic. has received dispatches
from New York, stating that q Spanish
Mar steamer had been ordered to cruise
off the Moro Castle, and prevent tile ell.
trance Of the Crescent cry into the port
OF Havana. And that If she persisted IN
her attempt to land. she would be fired III
to. The Cycse6ak C0u however reached
Havana carly on the morning OF the 18th
inst, aud entered without molestatiol.
The Captain of the Port came on board
at sunrise, and asked if Pnrser Smith was
on the steaner.-Lieutenan Porter replied
III the affirmative. The Captain then
stated that as tie Crescent City was al.
ready in port, she would not be turned
out, but at the same time no commuillca-
ton with the shore would be allowed.
Lieut.. Porter then desired to present q
protest through the American Vice-Con.
sui. The Captain General denied this re.
quest.
As the Steamer was about leaving the
agent of the u. S. Mail Steamship Com
pany at Havana was allowed to com
along side, accompanied by three Spanish
officers.
The agent said he thought the whole
difficulty could be settled by Purser Snitl
sending to the Captain General a writer
denial Of the accusation against him.
Lieut.. Porter refused to do this, sayins
| that lie himself had already made two dis
avowals on the subject, and he consideret
il beneath the dignity Of the Compan,
whose interests he represented to maxi
| any further explanation of the matter.
Lieut.. Porter also refused to hold an,
conversation with any one except through
the American Vice Consul.
The latter was only allowed to ON
alongside the steamer, not on board.
Lieut.. Porter delivered to him in persol
a protest, referring to his two former dis
avowals of the accusation against Purse
lSmiih, demonstrating against the urlaWfu
acts Of the Spanish authorities, chargin,
them with violating the treaties OF peac
aud friendship with the United States, etc
The Crescent CITY then ran up th
American flag and took her departure
neither subdued nor conquered, and q
she went out of the harbor fred a salnt
III honor Of her flag.
Thousands Of spectators lined the quay
and shore to witness the am depar
IRE.
Tie American Vice Consul was not a
lowed to send home his dispatches by ii
Crescent City.
Spanish guard boats, filed with me
and officers, surrounded the. steamer durin
her stay in the harbor.
