This prohibition has worked hardship in large AaXaaiaXX cigar-making interests, ami up to this time all efforts of the stale department to

secure any amelioration of the harsh conditions of the decree have been unavailing. Ihe reason set up by UeX. Wey lei for the orbr was the necessity of keeping iu Havana the supply ol tobacco necessary to run the domestic cigar factories and thus, by giving employment to Stork me ii. keep them from drifting away- into the insurgent ranks. t was a matter of common report, however, that another potent reason was a desire to cripple the ( uban cigar makers in the I'nited States from whom the insurgents drew funds. It now seems probable that the decree soon will be vacated. Ite ports that come to Washington are to tlie effect that the new crop of tobacco that will be ripe in February next is of excellent quality and amounts to fourfifths of tin average crop. Huyers for foreign consumers are already in the field b Hiking over the plantations.
