TRICK OF IMPORTERS.
Attempt to Defraud Customs by Dull
ing Color sof Diamonds.

KEY WEST. Nov. 1S.-An attempt to de-
fraud the government was prevented by the
United States appraiser to-day, when an
importation involving two hundred and
three hundred carats of small diamonds
was invoiced at about $24 per carat The
diamonds had evidently been put into
solution of resin and grease, thus dulling
their color to such an extent that the dia-
monds appeared to be of little value. When
washed in alcohol and hot water the APP
praiser found the diamonds were of fine
quality and exceptionally well cut The
duties and penalties upon this invoice will
now amount to more than $4,000 whereas
under correct invoice less than $1,000
would have been demanded.
