The Trouble With the Peruvian War steamer
Havana Still EDsettled-instrmcti9ns from
Secretary Mccuiioci-Ths Peruvian Monitor
Still at the Belize.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 10. 1868.
The steamer Havana Tor Maranonl is again In
trouble, the Collector having threatened her seizure
on the ground OF violation OF law IN not exhibiting
proper papers when they were called for and that
the changing Of her nag irregular The facts
are as fOll0ws:-rhe vessel was purchased in New
York by the Peruvian governments, her owners con-
tracing to deliver her at Southwest Pass, or wher
ever the Peruvian monitors might be. Upon her
rivel at Southwest Pass the transfer made, the
Peruvian nag h0isted aud her former captain re-
tanned as sailing master Her American register was
sent to New York for cancellation. Senior Garcia
has been notified by her former owner that the
register was cancelled. 1t was not intended TO
bring the vessel to this city, but while lying at south
west Pass repairs 10 her machinery became neces-
sary. and she came here under the Peruvian nag and
has since been the victim OF continued insfortunes,
having been the cause OF a misunderstanding be-
tween Minister Garcia and Collector Fuller. Yes
terday officers boarded her and demanded 70 see her
papers. The captain replied that the vessel belonged
to the Peruvian navy, but that he had no papers
to exhibit. and referred the officers 10 Minister
Garcia The latter has received no official comnluni-
cation in reference to tile matter, though he notified
the customs authorities that the Havana belonged
to his government and OF his readiness to answer
any charge against her. The whole trouble origi-
mated in her coming here. Had she remained at the
Southwest Pass no notice would have been taken OF
her. Collector Fuller states that charges have been
made against the vessel OF violation OF
the law among others that powder has been landed
from her IN the night, and that the law compelled
him TO seize her unless her papers regular.
He. however has referred the matter to the authori-
ties at Washington and will take no further steps
unless upon advice from there. The vessels mani
fest states that she cleared the Southwest Pass
Tonight Secretary McCulloch telegraphed to Col
lector Fuller TO be governed by section sixty OF the
act 1899, and Informed him that Secretary Seward
had charge OF the question OF noncompliance with
the laws by the peruvian3.
1t Is stated that Collector Fuller has ordered the
revenue cutter Wilderness to intercept the Maranon
should she attempt to go to sea without authority
from the Custom House.
Twenty eight OF the officers and crew Tor the Peru
Wan fleet arrived last night
The monitors are still lying at The mouth or the
