Called Down Again.

Washington, May 22.-Secretary o.
ney has instructed Minister Taylor to
make vigorous Representations to the
Spanish government relative to recent
edicts prohibiting expectation of tobacco
from the island of Cuba on the grounds
that it amounts to practical conisca-
ton of goods in Cuba owned by Amer
leans. The data on hand at the state de.
partment, supplied by the collectors of
the Florida ports, show that the cigar
men of Tampa alone have 100000 worth
of tobacco in Cuba paid for and subject
to delivery and that for all the other
Florida ports there is as much more.
It will be impossible for the merchants
to get this property out of Cuba within
the prescribed time, and Minister Tay-
lor has been instructed to make such
representations to Spain as will secure
ample time in which to secure this prop
erty. 1t is believed that the tone o. Mr..
Olney's note will accomplish this re-
suit. .-'E
