MR.. NAILoR's MISSING MARE
Efforts Today 10 Find Her Prove
EruifIess.

Mr.. Washington Nailor. proprietor of
livery stables at Fourteenth and d
Streets. is on a still hunt for valuable
racing mare that was taken from box
stall in his stable late last night.
Mr.. Nailor missed the mare when he
took a friend to the stall to look at her.
The door of the stall, which was locked
when the mare was placed in it, had been
forced from the hinges.
1t is thought the mare was taken by
confederates of two men who visited the
stable about II O'Clock and asked to look
at some stalls While the night watch
man WAS showing the visitors the stalls
in one part of the stable, it is thought
confederates of the two secured the mare
and led her out.
Fred Clarke formerly employed about
the stable, was arrested early this morn
ing on suspicion of having been implicat-
ed in the robbery. He admitted that he
had seen the horse taken away.
Mr.. Nailor believes the men who actu-
ally stole the mare were in the employ
of a party who was desirous of getting
the animal in his possession.
Mr. Nailor a short time ago purchased
the mare from b. F. McCauley and sent
her out to the circuit races in Western
Maryland Yesterday she was brought
to Washington.
1t is said that Mr. McCauley stated that
the mare was at his stable on Eighth
Street for a few minutes last night when
she was taken away by the men who
took her there and he knows nothing fur
ther about her.

TOBACCO QUESTION IN CUBA.
Native Planters Object to Outside
Leaf Being Imported.

A perplexing problem confronts Presi-
dent Mckinley in the matter of fixing the
duties on tobacco in the island of Cuba
during its military occupation.
The cigarmakers of Florida and the
manufacturers of tobacco in many of the
large cities have asked about probable
changes in duties during American occu-
patton and urged the abolition of all
duty. They say they have been injured
in Cuba, and that the only way to imme-
diately rebuild the trade is to encourage
the Cuban planters and American enter
prise by giving every inducement for the
growing and shipping of tobacco to this
country.
On the other hand, the Cuban planters
have begged that no such action be taken
as 1t would mean their eternal ruin and
practically kill the tobacco industry in
Cuba. They claim that the moment the
import duties are abolished or lowered
tons Of inferior tobacco would be sent
from the United States into Cuba manu-
factured into cigars and shipped from the
island as Havana cigars, finding their
way into all the markets of the world.
The discovery of this fraud and the in
ava 4N"ttNs u -ho soou' "ouiu iol SHei
discredit the product and ruin the mar
ket for Havana tobacco
1t Is likely that the President will re-
fer the matter to Congress for action
Spain, by her grasping methods, which
in the case of tobacco, the richest source
of revenue at her command, had an OBJ
Ject in view, preserved the integrity of
the product in the markets of the world
by placing such a high import duty on
tobacco as to practically prohibit its
shipment into the island, and so none but
Cuban tobacco has been exported from the
island.
Recent experiments IN tobacco cultiva-
ton in Florida from Havana seed have
demonstrated that a grade of tobacco can
be raised in this country which only ex-
perts can tell from the genuine article.
Its cultivation is expensive.
