has been engaged for some days with a fresh
difficulty with Cuba,,arriaing from the de
tention of the steamer Black Warrior, a
week or two ago. The steamer, on its way
from New Orleans,' touched .at 'Havanna,
and there being some informality. in its
Inanifest, the vessel was detained by the
authorities, its cargo removed, leo., upon
which the officers of the vessel struck the
U. S. Sag and abandoned it. A •Wash

"It is now well uadersfend here ••that
the Cuban authorities have made the moss

He said the committee had the matter be
fore it, and that this bill was only to be
considered as kireport in part. It was
then made the special order for Monday
the 22d instant. •
The bill proposes, in substfnee, to e give
a right of way through the domain' of the
United States for a railroad track from the
Mississippi
,to the eastern boundary of
Californias to any company: who may con
tract to build it. It grants the contra°.
tors, in aid of the construction of the
work, alternate sections of public land
for twenty miles on each side of the track,
and also reserves to .them she.transporta
tion of the U. S. mail at the maximum rate
of compensation ofsix hundred dollars a
mile. The contractors are to deposit se
curity with the government to the amount
of two millions for the execution of the
work. The government is to advertise for
offers to build the road, and accept the
most satisfactory proposal. The govern-
ment is to have the right of transporting
troops and munitions of war over the road_
at a reasonable rate to be fixed by govern
ment. The contractors aro to have the
use of the road for forty years and then
give it up to the United States, but, in the
