A great sale is billed to pass out OF eX-
istence within the next two weeks. Mr.
Harry F'riedlander of the firm of II.
Friedlander & Bro, Ninth and E Streets
northwest, whose daring bid several
weeks ago secured the great clothing
stock of the Boston Merchants Trading
Company, has determined to clear out
what is left of that great assem-
bling of fine garments within two weeks
The goods consist almost entirely of fall
and winter weight clothing, which have
been reserved until cool weather made
their selling feasible. The sale started
this morning, and the crowd which
blocked the sidewalk before o'clock
awaiting the opening of the store attests
in no mild manner the wonderful induce
ments which this firm is making to Sc
cure the confidence and patronage of the
Washington public.

HAVANA CIGARS COMING.
First InstaIIment since the War Re-
ceiyed i'm New York

New York, Sept. 2.-The first cargo Of
tobacco and cigars to arrive in New
York from Havana since the war reach
ed port yesterday in the steamer Ma
tanzas, of the Ward line.
1t consists of 1.257 bales of tobacco and
30l cases of cigars. A trifie more than
one-half of the cargo-7G5 bales and 167
cases-is consigned to the steamship
company and is probably, therefore. only
in transit.
The officers of the steamer said yester-
day that the cigar industry was the only
one in Havana that they did not find
paralyzed. II was explained to them
that the cigar factories had an outlet for
their goods at port on the south coast
of the island which was not blOCkaded
and that there was at no time during
the war any interruption of manufactur-
ing.
The Matanzas was the first American
steamer to go 10 Havana since the war,
and still greater interest attached to her
visit by reason Of the fact that she was
originally the Spanish steamer Guido,
one of the early prizes of the war. The
Ward line bought her from the Govern
ment for their Cuban trade. She carried
a full cargo of provisions TO Havana on
her initial trip
Capt. Rogers and Engineer Carroll went
ashore at Havana. The latter said yes
terday that they were not molested or
annoyed in any way. The city, he said,
was a quiet and orderly as New York
They were surprised at the number and
apparently formidable character of the
new fortifications that BlanCo had built.
AS to sentiment they said they found
predominating preference for annexa-
tion TO the United States. 1t was de-
clared that the well-to-do inhabitants,
the business classes and foreigners gen.
orally do not want Il republic.
One day while in port the c2pt:.:. en-
| tertained a party of friends, who had
been in the city throughout the war. and
they told him fiat toward the end ii
was almost Impossible TO buy proper
food. Meat was selling at 81 a pound,
and it was oftener that of cats and
dogs than of cattle. while bread was 81
