CUBAN TOBACCO.
One COnsiGnment Released for Ship
ment to New York.

One Consignment Released for Ship
ment to New York.
United States Consul General Lee has
advised the State Department from Ha-
vana that the Spanish authorities there
have released one consignment of Cuban
tobacco for shipment to New York firm.
This tobacco has been held In Havana
since May last, when Captain General
Weyler by decree forbade the further ex-
portation Of tobacco from the island.
The American importers have made many
strong protests to the State Department
against the workings Of the decree, which.
1t was commonly understood, had double
purpose-frst, to insure employment to the
cigar makers of Cuba, who would other
wise be tempted to join the instruction,
and, second, to destroy the occupation of
the Cuban cigar makers in Key West and
New York, and thus stop their contribu-
tons to the insurrectionary war fund. The
State Department has taken up the cause
OF the Importers, but was obliged to con-
fine its demands to an allowance of the
shipment of tobacco actually bought or
contracted for by Americans before the de-
cree went into effect. The tobacco re-
leased now is some that was actually paid
for before the decree. AS to that only con-
tracted for it appears to be doubtful
whether it can be released through the eff
forts of the State Department. The Span
ish contention is that they have a full
right to stop all exports, leaving to the ag
grieved importer in the United States only
claim against the persons in Cuba who
have broken their contract, which may be
prosecuted in the Spanish courts. The po-
sition of our government is that under the
treaty of 1873 our merchants have the
right, unrestrained by war; to bring away
their effects, holding that in this view to-
bacco may be regarded as effects.

c. Marsh, Yale University; Prof. Simon

of the academy-always a matter OF inter-
est to the scientific world-will be held at

He reached the conclusion that the ex-
tent of the motion of the surface of the

magnitude than was assumed to De at the
time. The paper was discussed by a num-
Der of the society, and at it's conclusion the
members called at the White House in a
body and paid their respects to the Presi-
dent
