CUBA.
a Plan Trustrated-Fight Between
Cubans and n egrOeS.

AspINwALL, December 3l.-A Cuban
officer states that a plan was organized
10 seize the steamship Ocean Queen,
which sailed from New York, Dec. 3.
Gen. A. A. C. Ryan, of Cuban celebrity,
took passage under the assumed name
Of Ashbury on the Ocean Queen, after
shipping 1000 cases Of arms and am
munition. 1000 or 5000 Cuban troops
were expected to 90 aboard as pas,
sengers, and when two days out at sea
the steamer would land the troops and
arms somewhere on the Island Of Cuba
and then release her. POO y. s. troops
for San Diago, Cal, were on board the
Ocean Queen, which so alarmed the
Cubans that they did not embark, and
General Ryan went to Aspinwal alone to
land the arms, &c, and awaited the
arrival Of the steamship Hornet. This
vessel arrived December 9th, and
sailed for Cuba on the 3lst with num-
Der of Cuban recruits. There were
rumors that this expedition was ar
ranged Tor the purpose Of aiding General
MoSquera in his anticipated revolution,
having for its object the overthrow OF
the present Government Of Panama;
and visit by General Ryan to the
Notifications OF Panama, accompanied
by United States Consul Perry, served
10 corroborate these suspicious, but
thus far there have been no demonstra-
tions pointing toward revolution.
On Christmas day collision occur
red between a small party Of Cubans
and about two hundred Jamaica ne
groes, originating from display of Gu
ban fltgs from Bethan Court House
and the bark Harriet Lane. The negroes
hoisted the British flag, which was
promptly captured, and general fgh,
took place, in which knives, &c, were
freely used. Some twenty persons were
seriously injured. By the Intervention
Of General Ryan the disturbance was
quelled, and the negroes retired, leaving
the Cubans masters ofthe field

The Case OF Thompson Against the
Erie Railroad Go.
The case Of John II. Thompson and
others against the Erie Railroad Com
pany, some time on trial in Saratoga
county before Judge Bookes, was con-
,inued yesterday before the same judge,
in Pine street, this city. The suit was
brought by Thompson as owner OF 800
shares in the Erie Railroad preferred
stock, to recover a dividend claimed to
be due for the year 1868. 1t was
claimed that upon the reorganization OF
the road in 1861, a statute was passed
providing that holders of preferred
stock issued to unsecured creditors OF
the old company, should be entitled to
preferred dividends out Of the net
earnings Of the company if earned in
the current year-but not otherwise
not to exceed I per cent. per annum,
payable semi.annually, after the pay
ment of the mortgage interest Of said
company, and delayed coupons in full /;
that for the year ending Dec 81, 1868,
the net earnings were 1924 ,5S2; that
the amount Of preferred stock owned
by defendant is $S,536,9lO; I per cent.
upon that sum is $57, ,75S,37O. and that
no dividend upon this stock was paid
by defendant in 1868. The adjourn
ment to this city was for the purpose OF
giving the Erie company an opportunity
to put in statement Of its earnings and
current expenses Of the company for
1868, it being claimed in the answer OF
the company that the expenses OF the
year were greater than the earnings.
