Havana, Saturday, Aprll 10, 1904.
Tho United States mail steamer Black War
rior arrived at her anchorage this evening at
a. o'clock. and the only annoyance she found
from her authorities was an earnestness to got
her out of port with the least possible DELAY
practacable. and she will be under steam for
Mobile at six o'clock Tomorrow morning
The conduct of the officials was courteous and
anrious Dragon Marine Inspector Don ka
mos Marin did not call for fresh supply for
his larder. nor did he look into the hold of the
vessel. She has beon permitted to enter and
clear after the Custom House hours, under the
positive order of the Captain General-pre
cisely the same authority, in relative value, as
that which she has been previously entered
and dispatched from this port; so that some fu-
ture startling sent out hero to replenish his
emptv Golfers, NAV on succeeding to the Off
ciai dignity of General Peznca, declare as
General Pezuola has done, the precedent nc.
ton all illegal, and make new conhscation.
Tho intelligence wo receive from the United
Statos is so mixed up with discussions OF things
that have no relation to the facts. in the face
of the seizure of the Black Warrior, that 40
do not really know what public sen'imnn' Is
upon the subject-more particularly the ex-
preston of the people of the South west. AT
any rate. the present reception OF me black
Warrior, and the manner in which she has
from tho highest placos-ihat they have
been all wrong, and that they are most solicit
GUS to carry favor and gel out of the filth OF
their own creation-but without making actu-
al confession, or giving up the meneys received
i'm fraud unless it be so ordered by the Queen.
As Col. Robertson was returning Tins even
ing from a visit to to the Black Warrior, where
he had received the dispatch sacks of his Gov
ernment for the American Consulate, he was
waylaid by Custom House Officer and sol.
diers, that had been stationed near by, and
they attempted to wrest from him his paeka
ges; but they were unsu ccessful. They i'm

that he was the Consul OF the Ohiteu ola'o'
and that tho sacks contained the correspoh'

successive times on his way, without the accom-
riisbment of the ohject--or fulfilling the or

living his whole path, from the wharf wher'
ho landed through "Ohicious' street; and IN
officer engaged in it knew perfectly we" whor

an attempt without the positive Instruction , |,
the very highest authority-to save h'hSe'

The object of this was undoubtedly 10 TAX
possession OF the Correspondence a.
tence of not knowing what It was, ana use tn
official as a "scapegoat' from responsibility.
From protection of this low order of tIlcK re.
and dupiici,y, Col. Robertson always goes hln m
self for his dispatches, on board OF ever
steamer; and his habit was we'll known al m VI
Palace in this particular; and hence, there W.
no way left but for an ambuscado ana suauu
attack b. soldiery, for which the Ous'o
House officer was the decoy, under pre'en

certainly more than six Spanish soldiers, .n;.,,

possible-indeed, I have herd it from my I,

Marouesa-that General P,zucla has dema
dod The recall of Colonel Robertson. If
we hope il will be deferred for some nine
days. when we think Pezuela, who is never
