HOW HAVANA CIGARS ARE SNUG
GLED.

The Revenue officers az Philadelphia
have discovered a very complete system Of
smugg- ling cigars from Havana. The man.
ner Of the smuggling is as follows: The
agent Of the smugglers goes to Havana,
lays in a good stock of cigars, embarks on
the regular steamer, and then waits his
opportunity. This opportunity is found at
Delaware cape, point where vessels COM
ing into Philadelphia are signaled by the
commercial agencies. When the Ha-
vana steamer reaches this point, the
agent on board signals to bis
accomplices on shore, and then throws his
stock of cigars overheard. He has en-
ployed his time during the voyage to fasten
up the cigars in alright India-rubber BAGS,
which float upon the surface of the water.
They are afterWard picked up by smugglers
in small boats, when the steamer has gone
on far enough to allow them to work with
out suspicion. Recently the revenue Uffi-
GERS captured one of these bags, out at sea,
and by this means the system of smuggling
has been discovered. 1t is believed that
the same system extends to all seabOard
cities from which Havana steamers ply.
