department from Havana that tho authori-
ties have released one consignment of
Cuban tobacco for shipment to a New
York house. This tobacco has been held
in Havana since May last, when Captain
General Weylor by decree forbade the
island
The American importers have made
many strong protests to the state depart
ment against the workings of the decree,
which it was claimed had Il double pur-
pose, first 10 insure employment to sugar
makers OF Cuba. who otherwise would be
tempted to join the Instruction, and sec
ond. to destroy the occupation of tho
Cuban cigar makers in Key West and
New York and thus stop their contrlbu-
tions to the insurgent fund.
The state department took up the cause
of the importers, but was Obliged to CON
fine the 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. AZ TO that only con,
tracted for, it appears to be doubtful
whether 1t can be released through the
efforts az the state department.
The Spanish contention Is that they have
a full right to stop all exports, leaving
to the aggreved importer in the United
States only Il claim against the persons
in Cuba who have broken their contract
which claims may he prosecuted in Spanish
courts. The position of our government
is that under the treaty of 1895 our mer-
chants have the right. unrestrained by war
to bring away their effects, holding that in
