THE TOBACCO EMBARGO.
II is Purely a Measure to Protect Cigar
makers in Havana.

Senior Dupuy de- LONE, the Spanish Minis
tor. declares tha, the order by Gen. Weyler
prohibiting the export of tobacco from CUBA

"a retaliatOry measure against insurgeht
sympathizers In this country. He says the
Spanish government Is driven to the step by
fact that without II over $4,000 cigar makers
In Havana would soon be thrown out OF
work for lack OF raw material and oO,OOO TO
go 600 women and children dependent on
them would be in danger OF starvation.
The minister says the tobacco crop has
been destroyed by Maceo,s forces; that the
royal troops have injured no property and
thnt the indiscriminate destruction OF the
crop Is 10 he laid wholly at the doors OF the
insurgents. Spain. he says. has been ire
ouently importuned for the past year to stop
! the tobacco export. which gave employment
| to the chief contributors IN this country tt
/ the insurgents but the petitions were stead
fastly refused. The prohibition he CONTENDS
| is exactly OF the Same nature rs II the United
| states were compelled to stop the export o
cereals from this country In time OF famin
or great industrial depression.

the exchange fund of the Government bank,
where II was needed for the redemption of
paper roubles. Included In this store OF
gold he saw II, ,371, 756 roubles In value of
United States half eagles.
While the coinage OF all the nations Of the
world was represented in this par ticular pile
OF gold, no other nation save Russia itself

THE SHREWD YANKEES.
Foresaw the Bicycle Craze and Put the
English in the Lurch.

United States Consul Parker at Birming-
ham, England, has contributed to the state
department a special report on remarkable
development of the business Of making steel
tubing at that place caused by the great in
crease IN the use of the bicycle. Incidentally
he tells of n shrcwd Yankee business transac-
tion which has placed the British bicycle
makers Ia bad plight.
The American manufacturers, forsocing "A
grcHt demand for wheels, not only purchased
all Df the stock Of steel tubing on hand in
England but gave orders that engaged the
output Of many of the factories for long
time 10 come.
And 50 1t happened that when the "craze"
struck England, the British bicycle makers
found that they had been caught mapping
and were short Of material. Immediately
there was rush TO start up new steel tube
plants and so many have been projected that
over production Is feared IN the end, but
meanwhile there il u stringency.
To show tn" extent of the increased export
OF this tubing to the United States the consul
says that while tee entire export for 1894 was
ssj. 800, that for the first quarter Of this year
II amounts already 10 =23l POO Meanwhile
there has been great decrease in the exports
OF Finished British bicycles to the United
