and Crescent City arrival here reported, usual in
ballast and their manfess returned to them with

give the number of packages of merchandise only Had
this been done with the Black Warrior, as was just by
their proof there would have been no trouble and
for mere matter of form" they threaten confscation
of the vessel and have caused detention and much do

American side Of the case' .r
writer from Havana throws cold water upon the
whole matter, and says:
An infraction of the Cuban laws has been commit
ted and although may do all regret the loss of
SO valuable cargo and the heavy fine that has been i'm
posed, yet the owners must submit call their philosophy
to their aid and pay for the parsmony of their agents.
