TOBACCO FROM CUBA.
General Lee Reports Release of One
American COpsiGnment.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 2--United
States Consul-General Lee has advised
the State Department from Habana that
tho Spanish authorities there have re-
leased one consignment of Cuban to-
hacco for shipment 10 New York firm.
This tobacco has been held In Habana
since May last. when Captain General
Weyler. by decree. forbade the further
expectation OF tobacco from the island.
T-e American importers have made many
strong protests 10 the State Department
against the workings OF the decree. which
Il was commonly understood had double
purpose-first. to ennure employment to
the cigarmakers OF Cuba. who otherwise
would be tempted to join the insurrection.
and second, TO destroy the occupation OF
the Cuban cigarmakers in Key West

and New York, and thus stop their con-
tributions to the insurgents war fund.
The State Department has taken up the
cause OF the importers, but swas Obliged
to confine its demands to an allowance
of the shipment OF tobacco actually
bought or contracted for by Americans
before the decree went into effect. Tne
tobacco released now Is some that was
actually paid for before the decree TOOK
effect. IL IL the only lot contracted for,
and 1t appears doubtful whether more
can be released through the efforts or
the State Department. The position OF
our government is that under the treaty
OF 1885, our merchants have the right, un-
less restrained by war, TO bring away
their effects, holding that in this view
tobacco may be regarded as effects.
TOBACCO FROM TAMPA.

bales OF tobacco. worth $3.50 pound,
were shipped to-day by Cuban tobacco
growers OF Fort Meade TO New York

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April 13.-The
White House was again a scene OF polit-
ical activity to-day, being the first time
sin ce Wednesday last that the public has
had a chance to see the President. When
the doors opened there was big crowd on
hand looking for Office. After l o'clock,
however, but few people applied for ad-
mission. as the rules restricting callers TO
morning hours went into effect for the
first time. Only persons with whom the
President makes appointments will be re-
ceived afternoons.
Several appointments were made to-
day but not sent TO the Senate. A large
batch of nominations will probably be
sent tomorrow. when it is believed the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs will be
named. This place seems to have been
allotted to ex- x-Representative Picker oil
South Dakota. He was at the Interior
Department this afternoon and had long
conference with Secretary Bliss.
Senator Platt called early, bringing up
the question of the successor of New
York's Postmaster. Dayton, and of As
sistant Treasurer Jordan.
Hanna and his colleague, Foraker, were
among other callers. The latter was be-
sieged by Off seekers laboring under the
delusion that he has some magic influence
with the President.

successor of Wade Hampton as Railroad

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 13-
Michael H. de Young thinks he is
making still hunt for foreign
mission, but it is not as still as
he thinks for Representative Loud
is after him with q sharp stick. Mr.. de
Young thought at first that he would like
to go to Rome, but was disappointed in
this. He now has his eye on Russia or
Belgium or something equally as good"
He would prefer Brussels as his seat OF
residence for the next four years, as the
climate at st. Petersburg is little TOO
cold. Brussels is said to be the gayest
city in the world, excepting Paris. Mr.
Loud-alway solicitous about the welfare
of his friend De Young-thinks that Brus-
sells would be little too gay for Michael,
while St. Petersburg would be little too
cold. He has therefore said to the Presi-
dent that in his opinion Mr.. de Young
had better be kept at home. He gave the
President some good reasons why the San
Francisco newspaper man should not rep
resent the United States abroad. George
Knight and George Heazleton are on the
ground doing what they can to promote
Mr.. de Young's interest.

The command of the Department Of Colo

WASHINGTON. D. c.. April 13.-An
experimental tank in which miniature
warships will be tested will soon be con-
s.ructed at the Washington Navy-yard
The tank is the first of the kind in this
country and the largest under cover. Its
dimensions closely approach those of the
big drydocks and its depth will be suffi-
cient to float any of the smaller cruisers.
On all sides il will be covered. 1t will be
just 500 feet long, so feet across and IA feet
deep. Running across and close to the
water Will be a carriage, upon which Will
be attached dynamo-meter to registe r
the resistance due TO towing q model
through the basin. Models, varying from
ten to twenty feet. of every new ship will
be attached to this machinery, drawn
through water. the wave motion noted and
the resistance carefully calculated. The
models will be plain affairs and constructed
only with a view to presenting closely the
actual lines of the ships. Through these
experiments 1t is estima ted that the plans
OF all the proposed vessels can be i'm proved
and valuable information gathered. The
cost OF the tank will be 500. 900. The use
OF such tanks abroad is common. The
tank will be ready in about ten months.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April l3.-The
Japanese legation has received advices
from Toxic and Hawaii which discredit
tbs somewhat sensational stories growing
out of the refusal of the Hawaiian Govern
ment recently to permit the landing of a
party OF Japanese at Honolulu. One
hundred and foriy-six members of this
party were contract laborers, and against
the return'of these the Japanese Consul
Genera. made no protest. But the others
were voluntary passengers, and were ex-
cludsd because it was alleged they did not
possess $50 each in golu. Against this
action the Consul entered strong protest
as upon investigation it was found that
they had the requisite amount, and that
they were denied the right of employing
counsel and of appeal to the Hawaiian
courts, which is guaranteed by treatv.
The officials of the legation deny that

international complications, as the only
question which can arise is one of indem.

position of his Government should not
give rise to any apprehension, as the
japanese have none but the kindest sem

designs upon its independence. But one
Japanese man-of-war has been sent to
