When the case Of Ellerbe against

yesterday morning almost all the legal

Cuban Tobacco For New
York

Washington. April 81. = Consul
General Lee has advised the State de-
partment from Havana that the Span
ish authorities there have released one
consignment Of Cuban tobacco for chip.
mept to New York firm. This to-
bacco has been held in Havana eince
May last, when Captain General Wey-
Ter, by decree, forbade the further ex
portation of tobacco from the island.
The American importers have made
many strong protests to the State de-
partment against the workings of the
decree, which it was CONNOLLY under
stood had a double purpose, first. to
insure employment to the cigar makers
Of Cuba. who otherwise would be
tempted to join the insurrectiou, and
second, to destroy the occupation of the
Cuban cigar makers in Key West aud
New York, aud thus stop their contri-
button to the insurrectionary war fund
The State department has taken up the
cause Of the importers. but was obliged
to coD6oe their demands to an allow
ance of the shipment of tobacco actual
ly bought or contracted for by Ameri-
cans before the decree vent into effect.
The tobacco released DOW is some that
vas actually paid for before the decree.
As to that only contracted for, it ap-
pears to be doubtful whether it can be
released through the efforts Of the State
department The Spanish contention
is that they have full right to stop
exports, leaving to the aggrieved i'm
porter 10 the United States only claim
against the persons in Cuba who have
broken their contract. which claim may
be prosecuted in the Spanish Courts
Tue position of our Government is that
under the treaty of 1895 our mer-
chants have the right, uorestrained by
war, to bring away their effects. bold
ing that in this view tobacco may be
regarded as effects

fore the governor At the hearing
it was developed that the chief con-
fession which the negro is said TO
have made, was wrung from him
while his captors had rope around
his neck to intimidate him. When
Governor Ellerbe announced some
time ago that he would not interfere
nothing was known of this He is
convinced now that had this fact
been presented to the jury at the
trial, verdict VITA Recommendation
to mercy would have been rendered.
Taking this view Of the case he
promptly commuted the unfortunate
negro's sentence to life imprisonment
in the penitentiary.
