bacco Was Paid for Prior to August August 31.

Washington. Oct. 24.-Release of be tween $2.000,000 and $3.0G0, 900 wortL of American tobacco held at Copen- hagen and Rotterdam because of fail ure to comply with the conditions of importation laid down by Great Brit ain has been ordered as a result of representations by the state depart ment. The department announced to- night that it had been advised of the action by the British embassy. the statement adding that officers of the department express much satisfaction over the concession given in this case"
 Because of inadequate warehouse facilities, the dampness and chilliness of the atmosphere the special brands of tobacco designed solely for use in those countries would have been all nose a complete loss unless relief had been given quickly.
 The announcement follows
 Statement by British Embassy
 ''The British embassy has made the following statement in regard to the American tobacco bought by dealers for shipment to Scandinavia and The Netherlands and affected by the re- strictions put into effect on July 15 last:
 shipment of tobacco made under bona fide contracts entered into be- fore July 15. need not be consigned IL. covered by guarantees in the case of shipments to Scandinavia, provided that the consignments shall have been put on rail under a through bill of ladlng for land or sea carriage. or shipped under a direct steamship bill of lading before August 31.
 The British authorities regarded as most important the provision that the goods must have been shipped on a through bill of lading for land and sea a ar 1,i1 before August 31 and they must in- sist upon it's fulfllment.
 Tt was at first announced as a con- cession to American tobacco interests that tobacco bought and paid for prior to August 1, and shipped prior to August 31. wnuId be allowed to go forward free of the restrictions re- ferred to above. It was found at once i that this concession was inadequate to relieve the hardships brought upon tobacco interests by the sudden inn position of the restrictions named and 1 the department of state took up the question with the British government and has since made every effort pos sIbie to secure more favorable rule. Shipments Detained.
 While the points at issue were un- der discussion a large number of ship ments went forward and were detained upon arrival at the various ports at which they respectively arrived. It is estimated that from $2,00O,000 to $3, 3,000,000 worth of tobacco now at Co., penhagen and Rotterdam will become subject to release under this new con- cession and that a somewhat lesser amount put on rail before August 31, but detained at the seaboard for one reason or another. will also be per mitted to go forward free of all re- strictions.
 Officers of the department express much satisfaction over the concession given in the case.'
