LATER FROM HAVANA.
Arrival of the Steamer Black War;


New YORK, April 3.-The steamer Black
Warrior has arrived with Havana dates to the
29th. The United States steamer Princeton
and Fulton were in port-all well. The Full
ton was to have sailed for Norfolk on the 3lst.
Numerous additional arrests had boen made
at Havana, amongst them Don Carlos Castil-
las, manager of bank, and Don Alcozas, a
wealthy banker. Their only offence is believed
to be uttering expressions of sympathy for
Pinto.
Mr.. Robertson, the acting United States
Consul, is understood to have sent in so strong
a protest against the so called trial of Estam-
pes and Felix as to have induced the Captain
General to refer the matter to the Spanish Min
lister at Washington before carrying the SEN
tence into execution.
The announcement had gone forth that six
companies of colored militia were to be estab.
lished at Havana.
