The Body of Gen. Ord in Havana
American Vessels in Trouble.

HAVANA, Aug. 2.
The body OF Maj Gen. Ord will, according
to instruction received from the United
States, be deposited in De Profundis Hall OF
the cemetary. until the cooler season sets in,
when it will be sent north.
American barque Josie f. Moore is in
trouble at Sagua la Grande, for having
brought 700 barrels Of flour not entered in
manifest, and the vessel very likely will be
dealt with in the same manner as the Nettie
was at Clenfugos.
The American barque Rebecca l.. Moulton
likewise is in trouble with the custom house
authorities at Sagua, for irregularities in
manifest, and Consul General Baden has
made complaint before Gen. Prerdegast for
alleged misdemeanor of the inspector who
went on board to examine the vessels papers.

ported Cattle.

Referring to the complaints recently re-
ceived at the treasury department that there
are not proper accommodations for imported
cattle at the quarantine station at Waltham
near Boston, acting Secretary French says
that while it is true that there are not proper
accommodations at Waltham for all cattle
which are brought into Boston, the treasury
department is in no respect responsible
French says that when Congress appropriates
sufficient money, and when importers exer-
else proper discretion in ascertainieg where
there is room for their cattle, and give proper
notice of the proposed shipments, he thinks
all cause for complaint will cease. 1t stands
to reason that with our present facilities,
that if at any time thousand head of cattle
arrive without proper notice, and landed at a
port which has accommodation for not more
than three hundred, only confusion aud
trouble can be expected.
