How emugsiips 10 Aads Possible as
New Odsans.

NEw ORLEANS. Aug. Is.-The New York
customs authorities, in recent inteivievs.
charge the Custom House here with nesli-
gence. particularly in the matter Of the ad-
mission Of Cinnamon not entitled 10 enter
the country. 1t 10 possible that the came
straight scrutiny exercise the local officials
are les, visilant. bus becsuse Of their insult
hcency Of number and resources. The lat
ter condition has been the result Of the
economy Of the Treasury Department, In.
ssituted within the last year.
ln must be rsmemoered th't New Orleans
is about 100 miles from the mouth Of the
Mississippi and 10 approached BY small
crafts not only through the three passes,
but BY way Of the lakes in the rear and on
each side One inspector stationed at the
leading pass and revenue cutter plying in
the gulf outside the rear approaches are the
only guardians sgsinst smuggling the
government now has. Formerly an
inspector stationed at Risolets and one NJ
the state quarantine station 10 the river
maintained . more efficient watch. But
these have been removed. Another iuno-
vstion Of the treasury department has been
TO do away with sealing the matches and
storerooms Of vessels when they arrive at
the jssties, Is WAS formerly done. thus per-
mittiDg vessels With duiable caraoes to
travel nearly 100 miles inland without sur
veillance.
The removal Of the old eusrds sgainst
smuggling went into effect about three
months ago, by the department at Wash
ington commanding the discharge Of the
boarding inspectors. AZ a result there
has doubtless been much Illicit importation.
1t 10 fact that Havana cigars can be pur-
chared on the streets Of New Orleans
almost IS theaply Is in Cuba That China
men have been smuggled in On email
sailing vessels from the West Indian
ports 10 also more than probable
There 10 nothing to prevent it. The
customs ofiicerr have sought with all dill
gence to prevent smuggling. and Special
Agent WICKER has done some good detect
i've work in ferreting out smugglers Of
opium and preventing Cinnamon from
entering the country. The fault lies with
the treasury department. and the error was
its false economy in Withdrawing the look
outs Of the custom house and making
smuggling possible.
