NEW CUSTOMS RULING
DETAILS EXEMPTIONS
Expected to Do Away With
Many Troubles of Return
ing Tourists.

Secretary MacVeagh has approved a
new customs ruling which the Treasury
Department expects will do much to re-
duce the troubles of returning tourists
from Europe and minimize what the au-
thorities believe are largely unintentional
attempts to smuggle personal belongings
which are properly subject to duty into
the port Of New York.
Under the law each American return
ing from abroad is entitled to bring in
free 500 worth of personal belongings.
The customs rulings hitherto have been
susceptible of elastic Interpretation and
many troublesome incidents have arisen.
Collector Loeb Consulted.
The new ruling. which was prepared
by Assistant Secretary Curtis after con-
ferences with Collector Loeb and Charles
P. Montgomery, chief of the customs di-
vision, makes specific announcement OF
what a returning American may bring in
free to the value of $780,.
: These things will be free: Clothing,
toilet articles. jeweiry, personal orna-
ments, such things as cameras, fishing
tackle, golf sticks, guns, musical instru-
ments, steamer rugs, toys, shawlS. valioeS
and trunks,

FORT MONROE, Va, March 23.-The

lower. part Of Chesapeake bay, which
were begun Tuesday, we've concluded late
yesterday afternoon. Only small num-
Der of shots were fired yesterday Very
little additional damage to the battle
ship San Marcos was inflicted by yester-
days firing.
after the firing was concluded the Off
GERS of the fleet went aboard the San
Marcos to inspect the damage. She was
deep in the mud and the water rose to a
point midway between the gun deck and
the berth deck. One shell went clear
through the old battleship. tearing an
open path about two feet wide.
Coming Tower Badly Damaged.
One of the military masts was cut
away and the other was riddled. The
coming tower or battle command station
was badly damaged. J The SAN Marcos is
a total loss and her naval career is end

messed the test are enthusiastic over the
destructive results obtained from the ar

Ordnance officers avoided advancing
any opinions, but there was apparently
general surprise at both the remarkable
gunnery of the New Hampshire's men
and the frightful havoc wrought by the
new shells. The New Hampshire had been
selected for the test because her guns,
which were not considered UP to the
standard! were to be replaced, which
makes the record scored by the gunners
aboard that vessel all the more note-
worthy.
