The news from Havana is no. particularly important,

very stringent.
New Post Office regulations have been published
at Havana, reyiving the old regulations of 1913.
All the important ports of the Island have been
opened to the introduction Of fish free of duties.
royal decree had been published which imposes
great restrictions upon the commerce of Cuba and
will give much trouble to American shippers and cap
taDs.
A party from the United States has obtained per.
uission to import cattle into Havana from Texas for
six months free of duty.
The Quaker City brings the following news as to
the state of the sugar market In sugar no transanc-
