TOBACCO FROM HAVANA.
General Weyler Compelled to Ship to
the United States.

Havana, Sept. 2S.-General Weyler
has at last been forced by the pressure
exerted by the exporters of Havana to
rescind his order prohibiting the expor-
tation of tobacco from the island and
during the present week several large
shipments have been made. One cargo
of 200 bales went to Tampa on We'd
nesday, the first lot of Cuban tobacco
forwarded to that city for over a year.
Today 5000 bales were shipped direct
to New York. Cigar and cigaret MAX
ers in Havana do not believe that sales
can be found for the shipments made to
the United States. The cost of tobacco
here has risen from $25 a bale to s55
and when the export duty of $40 hun
dred kiloS and the cost of shipment are
added a bale of tobacco will have to
bring nearly 500 in New York to make
the transaction profitable.

The youthful elephant Toby Is now
tho Zion" Of the Jardin d'Acclimation.
There are all sorts Of reasons for lion
ixing him, says Paris correspondent
of the London News. He is q recent
gift Of the Emperor Menelik. He
comes, as that emperor says, from q
part Of Africa where elephants are phe-
nomenal in their sagacity, and he is
playful and fond Of practical jokes.
Toby is fond of cakes and rice. He
likes children and gay people, but he
objects to savants of grave aspect Has
he noticed that they do not bring
cakes in their pockets? A party Of con-
gressionists now in Paris were greatly
amused by his tricks today. Toby
singled out one of them, whipped of
his hat and walked round the inclos-
ure waving 1t triumphantly. Then he
came back and set it on the owners
head again, but he took OF his spec
tacles and seemed puzzled what to do
with them. After looking at them
attentively he restored them to the
owner. But this time he took OF the
hat again, dropped it on the ground
and seized the somewhat singular head
Of hair of the learned congressional
and pulled it OF, for it was artificial.
It is expected that after this feat Toby
will make the fortune OF the Paris ZOO.
He must be very shrewd baby to have
noticed the difference between a wig
and homegrown hair.
