AT Helena there is a great number of

has been realized from the first. however
that there was a very great element of
danger in indiscriminate distribution Of

planters might find it impossible to get
sufficient farm labor to make crops or to
repair the damages resulting from the

wEYLER's TOBACCO EDIcT.

A Consignment for New York Held
since Last May just Released.
Washington, April 21.-Consul General
Lee has advised the state department
from Havana that the Spanish authorities
there have released one consignment of
Cuban tobacco for shipment to a New
York firm. This tobacco has been held
in Havana since May last, when Capt.
Gen. Weyler. by a decree, forbade the
further expectation of tobacco from the
island.
The American importers have made
many strong protests to the state depart
ment against the working of the decree.
which IL was commonly understood had
double purpose, first to ensure employ
ment to the cigar makers of Cuba, who
otherwise would be tempted to join the
insurrection and second, to destroy the
occunation of the Cuban cigar makers in
KEY West and New York, and thus stop
their contributions to the insurrectionary
The state department has taken up the
cause Of the importers, but was Obliged
~ confne their demands TO an allowance
of the shipment OF tobacco actually bought
or contracted for by Americans before the
decree went into effect The tobacco re-
leased now is some that was actually paid
for before the decree.
AS TO that only contracted for, 1t appears
10 be- doubtful whether IL can be released
bv the efforts Of the state department.
The Spanish contention is that they have
a full right to stop all exports, leaving to
the aggrieved importer in the United
states only a claim against the persons in
cuba who have broken their contract,
which claims may be prosecuted in the
Spanish courts.
The position Of our government is that
under the treaty Of 1895 our merchants
have the right, unrestrained by war, to
bring away their effects, holding that In
this view tobacco may be regarded as eff
fects.
Havana. April 2i.-Seven hundred bales
of tobacco were shipped to-day on Ameri-
can account.

AN INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.
Waycross Making Arrangements TO
Give One This Fall.


Waycross, April 21-A strong movement
is on foot for the holding of an Industrial
exposition at Waycross this fall for South
east Georgia, and some of the most pub
lic-spirited citizens here have the project
in hand. The Plant system is understood
to be willing to assist and encourage the
fair. The Plant systems park, consisting
of twelve acres, in front of the general
hospital and just south of the union pas
senger station. will probably be used for
the fair grounds. Negotiations are pend
ing for the use of all or at least a part of
the park for that purpose.
The plan that has been suggested, and
is generally approved, is to have exhibits
of fruits, farm products, live stock. poul-
try manufacturing, mechanics, art, etc,
from this county and various other coun-
ties of this section. Col. 7. T. Wright,
general industrial commissioner of the
Plant system, is heartily engaged in pro-
noting the fair, and he gives assurance
that he will use his best endeavors with
his company in behalf of the project.
Mayor A. NJ. knight of Waycross has
been requested to call meeting some
time this week of those who will orga nize
the fair association. AT this meeting 1t is

GRAFTON SENDS IN AN APPEAL.
An Army officer Ordered to Investi-
gate and Report.

Washington, April 2L-Secretary Alger
to-day received the following telegram
from the mayor and city council of Graf
ton, N. D.; The raging flood along the
Red river bordering Walsh and Pembina
counties, aggravated by cold, high winds
and zero temperature, have caused great
destruction of property and suffering.
Buildings, with their contents, stock and
seed grain have been swept away. Imme-
date relief is necessary or great suffering
will prevail. The requirements, etc, are
beyond local aid. The assistance of the
government is invoked, and at once. Can
you aid US? If so, wire funds to be dis
tributed by relief committees"
In response to this appeal, Secretary Al
ger telegraphed to Maj Sanno, at Foro

FALLING IN THE YAzOO BASIN.
The worst of the Flood over In That
Section.

Washington, April M.-Secretary Alger
this afternoon received the following dis
patch from the inspecting officer at Mem
phis: Have just returned from an in
spection of the interior of the Yazoo basin
country between the Sunhower and
Bogue Phalia rivers. Along the line of the
railway, as far south as Mound bayou,
planting is in progress where land Is free
of water Eighty per cent. of the land
usually cultivated is known as high land
A fall of two feet will clear this high land
of water. The rate of fall is at present
about five inches a day. In a week or ten
days the worst will be over in the Upper
Yazoo basin, and very little restitution
will result.
From Mound bayou south ten days
should be added TO the above estimate.
This will carry the territory as far south
as the line of the Georgia Pacific railway.
il is believed here now that if any portion
Of the basin is covered with water too
late for crops this year it viii be in por-
tons lying between Rolling Fork and
Nicksourg. The local commissary at Mem
phis should be instructed not to send sup
plies into the upper basin for longer pc
RODS than above stated"
