DAMAGE ALLOWANCE ON VINE.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, July 81, 1877.
U-This department is in receipt of your re-
port OF the 25th inst. upon Communication
from Messrg. Arguimbau, Wallis & Co., In which
they ask for an allowance of damage on certain
wine, per bark Ferrere, in January last no dam
age having Been returned by the appraiser.
Ii appears, from the appraisers report, sub
mitted by You, that allowance for damage was
refused, for the that it could not be shown
in what manner
THE WINE HAD BEEN INJURED,
the cause OF the damage. If any there was, being
merely matter OF conjecture. The appraiser
further states that his own conclusion was that
there was lack OF spirits to fortlfy it against
the vicissitudes OF the voyage, and that IL ia
one of those inferior compounds which, under
favorable conditions, may be imported In good
condition, but has not sufficient body 10 insure
such results.
In reply, you are informed that the fact that
the precise cause of damage cannot be ascer-
tanned does not, Of ITSELF defeat the claim for al
lowance (see Departments letter Of the 25th nlt, i,
authorizing allowance OF damage on dates inn
ported per Utopia and Canada, BY Galway & Cas-
sado); and as to the point that the wine was 50
inferior in quality that it became
DAMAGED on THE VOYAGE,
the Department has heretofore beld (letters to
Collector at New Orleans Of December IL, 1873
and February 5, 1879 that if the merchandi.e e.,
at the time Of shipment from the foreign port,
was not In fit condition TO withstand the risks
of an ordinary voyage, no allowance for damage
can be granted; but that, If the damage Ia owing
to the unusual length Of the voyage such fact
may be considered as an unforeseen contingency,
which would bring the case within the rule under
which damage allowances are authorized, II proof
OF sound shipment is submitted.
Applying this rule to the case in question, the
Department instructs you TO
RETURN THE DAMAGE-wARRAyr
to the appraiser for report as to the facts, and
ntYAf ri Fon urpiT
to the Department.
Very respectfully,
By order: 4. G. MCCORMICK,
Assistant Secretary.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, July 81, 1877.
SRI have the honor TO acknowledge the re-
ceipt Of your communication OF the 9th instant,
with accompanying documents, In relation TO sup
plying samples or imported merchandise, TO be
transmitted In connection with triplicats invoices
sent by oonsuls TO collectors OF customs in the
United STATES.
Il appears from the communication addressed
by the United States Consul at Manchester 10 tho
Consul General at London, dated the 18th ult.,

there are many kinds Of goods which cannot bo

With reference thereto, beg leave TO ststa
that, bv the terms OF your circular OF July 10,
1876, issued In pursuance OF the recommendation
OF this department., 1t 10 required that samples
which, under the consular regulstions. were re-
CURED TO be deposited with the consuls, shall be
transmitted by them to the collector of customs
ut the port OF destination in the United States,
and that in all cases IL is left TO the discretion OF
the consul TO determine whether il is practicable
or proper that samples should be called for from
shippers for such purpose. In the exercise OF
such discretion 1t is presumed that consuls VIII
be able TO
REMOVE ANY EMgARRAssMEsrs
to trade which may have grown ont OF what
would seem 10 be q misconception Of the terms
OF your circular.
With reference TO the point raised in this and
other correspondence, that 1t operates greatly to

supply samples OF standard articles Of uniform
character in connection with each shipment
thereof, have TO stale that In case the go0da
consist Of standard articles we'll known to the

Of goods, and to note the fact upon other in-
voices OF the Same description Of merchandise
