THE CUBAN TOBACCO CROP.
What n Tampa Cigar Manufacturer
Has to Say About 1t.

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 11.-Ernest Eilinger,
resident manager of the big cigar factory
of julius EIilnger & Co., has just return-
ed from a business trip to Havana, where
he went to take a personal view of the
business situation Among other things,
he says: I'm the city of Havana the
average tourist would never know that
war was in progress upon the island.
Tradesmen and laborers follow their US
ual pursuits as before the war broke out;
the parks are thrOnged with gay lot of
people every evening and they stroll about
the Dromenades listening to the music of
the bands just as they always did The
scene is still a very animated one, and is
characteristic of the city and can be seen
nowhere else. In attending theatrical
performance at the Alibisee theater
found every available part of the great
theater filed with people,"
what about the tobaccog' was asked
him. How do you see the situation in
regard to this matter of great import
ance?
I'm regard to the tobacco matter" re-
piled Mr.. Ellinger, there is nothing of inn
portance to encourage one, and. unless
some arrangement I'm the shane of a COM
mercial treaty between the United States
and Spain is effected, there is little hope at
present that the prohibition of export Will
be rescinded. The holdings in the mar
ket are rather small and the ruling prices,
in view of the demands by the local man
ufacturers there, are very high. On some
manufacture of cigarettes, the price is
double it's former value.
The outlook for the coming crop, in
consideration of the risk and danger en-
counted by the farmer, is much better than
what one might suppose and from the
present indications in the neighborhood
of 10000 bales may eventually be brought
to the market. This number may be in
creased, for encouraged by recent favor
able temperature, many farmers have
again planted seeds.
with the exception of there being an
epidemic of small poX in Havana, there is
nothing else to deter anyone from visit
ing the city this winter, any more than
there has always been"
This opinion from Mr.. Ellinger may be
regarded as the observation of an unprej-
udiced business man

ARIZONA GOLD CLAUSE BONDS.
ONLY ONE ISSUE ALLOWED TO FIN
THE KIND OF MONEY.

All the Others Issued by the Terri
tory Must BE Payable in Lawful
Money without Any Specification
of Any Particular Cause.-The POST
Office Appropriation Bill Taken Up
in Committee of the whole.
Washington, Feb. IA displaced semi
colon in the bill providing for the refund
ing OF the bonded Indebtedness of the sew
eral territories, was the innocent cause of
a wholly unexpected debate on the none
tary question in the House to-day, last
ing two or three hours. Two or three
years AGO, congress authorized Arizona to
sell some gold" bonds upon the request
of NJ. A. Smith, then the
delegate from that territory.
because the territory could get
better terms for such bonds than for law
full money" bonds. The bill under discus
sion authorized the refunding of these par
ticular bonds in gold bonds, but the pres
ence of a semi-colon in the text suggested
to the mind of Mr.. McMillin, dem, of
Tennessee. the possibility that the bill
could be construed so as to warrant the is
sue of gold bonds for all the bonds issued
by Arizona From MIR. Payne's, rep, of
New York, declaration that he could see
no harm that would result if all the bonds
were made payable i'm gold, a lively dis
cussion sprung up, in which many men,
bers took part, and which took wide
range The more important statements
in the course of debate, were those of Mr..
Knox. rep. OF Massachusetts, in charge of
the bill that the country was upon gold
basis that it would doubtless continue on
that basis, that it would not initiate an in
ternational bi-metallic conference, and
that there was sufficient craftsmanship in
the republican party to provide for the
largest possible use of silver, and that ii
would not be through the unlimited coin
age of that metal.
At Mr.. Knox 5 suggestion the semi-colon
was replaced by comma; on Mr.. McMil-
lan's suggestion, the bonds, other than the
Arizona gold bonds named, were made
payable in the lawful money of the
United States.'' and the bill was then
passed.
The sundry civil appropriation bill for
the year ending June 30, 1898, was reported
by Mr.. Cameron, rep, OF ILLINOIS, ana
placed on the calendar.
Mr.. Bartlett, DEM, OF Georgia presented
the unanimous report of elections commit
tee No. l upon the contest of Thomas h.
Watson VS.. j. c. c. Black, from the Tenth

and stated he would call 1t up at the first
opportunity.
The bill making appropriations Ga total
of SO, 253. $3.50 for fortifications for the year
ending June so, 1898, was considered and
passed.
The postoffice appropriation bill was
taken up in committee of the whole and
discussed for an hour without action. The
House then, at $40 O'clock adjourned.

THEY RIDICULE 1T.
Many People RidicuIe the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia and
stomach Troubles.
RidicuIe. However. Is Not Argument,
and Facts Are stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that peo-
Pile are apt to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be a radical, perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and Indigestion.
Many such pride themselves on their
acuteness in never being humbugged, es-
pecially on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far, in fact. that many
persons suffer for years with weak d.
gestion rather than risk little time and
money in faithfully testing the Gains of
a preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not secret pat
ent medicine, no secret is made of their
ingredients. but analysis shows them TO
contain the natural digestive ferments
pure aseptic Pepsin, the digestive acids
Golden Seal, bismuth, hydras-
tbs and nuX. They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on any or
gan, but they cure indigestion on the com
mon sense plan of digesting The food eat
en- thoroughly before il has time to fer
ment, sour and cause the mischief. This
is the only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble Is really in the
stomach
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is ali there Is
to it. Food not digested or half dgested
is poison as it creates gas, acidity, head
aches, palptation Of the heart, loss of
flesh and appetite and many other troubles
which are often called by some other
name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at 50 cents per package. Address Stuart

HISTORIC AUTOGRAPHS STOLEN.
The Papers Taken From the Con-
gressiOnaI Library.

gressiOnal Library.
Washington, Feb. 11.-Lewis Nick. Tur-
ner and Philip McElhone, two young men
arrested yesterday by secret service Off
GERS charged with the larceny of valua-
HE autograph letters from the Congress
sional library. were taken before United
States Commissioner Mills, at 10 o'clock
this morning for a preliminary examina-
ton.
At its conclusion, McElhone was re-
leased on So 900 bail and Turner was COM
mitted in default of bail in the same
amount.
1t has been ascertained that the robbery
was effected by means of duplicate keys.
1t has been in progress since last August.
\ partial examination disclosed over 100
documents missing Among the most val
liable of these was the diary of George
Washington for 1887, the year of the con-
situuonal convention, as well as letters of
Washington, Benedict Arnold and John
Hancock. The Washington diary is among
The papers recovered. 1t was shipped
10 a dealer in New York whose name is
not divulged, short time ago, by Turner,
and had not been paid for. II was shipped
by the United States Express Company
and the receipt has been recovered. The
value placed upon it when he shipped 1t
was $50, showing Turner's idea of its value
II was shipped minus cover, and this
cover was taken from one of the pockets
OF Turner's coat when he was arrested
Librarian SpoHord says 1t is hard to pace
4 value on the document, which is a prec-
ious one. He also says that many of the
things disposed of We're of little value from
a financial point of view.
The room in which they were kept was
one OF the upper chambers of the library
ana the confusion incident to the change
Of quarters to the new building is believed
to nave facilitated the thefts McElhone
and Turner were both clerks in the library.
Inc discovery of the abstraction of these
documents has led to an order for a gen
9fal examination of the archives of the Ii
brary' which is now in progress.
