QUARANTINE SSUGGL Midnight Expedition of Custom House Officials. Capture of One of the Health Officer’s Vessels. ue. Cont: aband Goods Found on Board. The frauds upon the revenue through the importa- tion of cigars without the payment of the govern- ment impost had become ef so extensive a character during the present year, and partioularly during the warm months, that the customs authorities put forth extra energy in the effort to secure their detection, with the successful result which the sequel will show, The mercantile community doing business in this article of merchandise had tong complained of the injury which the illicit business of smuggling cigars was doing them, and Collector Smythe and Sur- veyor Wakeman were petitioned to use their utmost endeavors to put an end to it. The quantity of smuggled cigars thrown upon the market at one time frequently amounted to hundreds of thousands. The consequence to legitimate dealers was of the mowt ruinous character. SUSPICION, The oMicers of the revenue service, in obedience to these demands, were instructed to thoroughly exainine all ships and steamers inward bound from the West Indian ports, particularly from Havana; but their search was in almost all instances without avail. The discoveries of contraband tobacco were contined to a few hundred cigurs or so in excess of the amount permitied regularly to passengers. It was evident, therefore, that the smugglers had got out their cargoes long before the vessels reached the anchorage at the Upper Quarantine, below which port the orders of Heaith OMcer Swinburne forbade them to be boarded. Under the interpretation which that officer placed upon the law he assumed the right: to prohibit the boarding of any vessel by any person until she had passed the inspection at Lower Quaran- tine and had gone to the upper bay. Even the revenue officers referred to were denied the privi- lege, despite the high character of their position and the imperative nature of their duties. Now, from spies and other sources it was known, without the shadow of a doubt, that illicit cigars were shipped at Havana, The strictest search failed to discover them when the vessels ar- rived at Upper Quarantine. ‘The United States authorities were, therefore, reluctantly forced to the conclusion that the quarantine machinery cloaked a vast amount of this contraband trafic, especially as the greatest quantities of cigars made their appear- once during the quarantine season, The attention of the Commissioners und of Health Oficer Swin- burne had been directed to thus fact, but the evil con- tinued without remedy or abutemeni. AN EXPEDITION. Accordingly Surveyor Wakeman decided to tuke steps upon his own responstbility and after his own plan to detect the frauds. On Wednesday night the revenue cutter Uno, under command of Lieutenant T. W. Lay, of the United States Revenue service, took on board Inspector Charics F. Kane, one of the Surveyor’s aids, and Inspector W. HH, Jones, of the castoms service, and in the darknes left her moorings at the barge ofice and proceeded down the bay. Pilot Join MeMath and engineer H. A. Green seconded every effort of the authorities in car- rying out the project for the discovery of the smug: giers, It would be well to preta perhaps, by explaining that the suspicions of Messrs, Kane and Jones lad beew drawn to the singular move. | ments of THE SLOOP FOUR BROTHERS, # veasel of some fouricen tons, belonging to the Staite of New York, which was employed by the Health OMicer as a tender to the hospitai ship Falcon, Her duties were the trausferment of the dead from the hospital abip t their place of interment and of the sick from arriving vessels to the Fatcon, she was also used in carrying packages to und from the city and was under the entire control of the Health OMcer, Dr. Swinburne.
