For the first time since the present struggle in Cuba began this . government has given per mission to customs officials to clear for Cuba a vessel loaded, according to mani fest, with munitions of war, presumably for the insurgent army. Yesterday the secretary of the treas ury received a telegram from the owners of the Dauntless, at Jacksonville, stating that they would apply to the collector of customs at Jacksonville for a clearance to. a Cuban port with a cargo of arms, but the oaths required by the statutes would not be taken. The question was aBked whether under these circum stances papers would be issued. . Later a telegram was received from the col lector at Jacksonville Btating an applica tion to clear the Dauntless for Neuvitae, Cuba, with a cargo of arms, bad been made, and asking instructions. This morning the secretary replied substantial! as follows : "If the master of the vessel and the owners, shippers and consigners of the' cargo comply fully with the laws and regulations concerning the manifest and take the oaths required, you may grant a clearance to Neuvitaa, Cuba. Oaths must be taken and subscribed in writing, as required by sections 4197, 4198 and 4200 of the revised statutes. The port named aa the destination is on the Northern coast of Cuba and is occupied by Spanish forces. Treasury officials therefore are of the opinion that the oaths required will not be taken Distress Among: Farmers of an Argen tina ProTlnce. New York. Dec. 30. A Herald dis patch from Buenos Ayrea 8nys : The agricultural commission appointed to investigate the coudition of agricul ture in the province of Santa Fe will make a report to President Unburn this week. The report will, it is said, show a dis astrous state of affairs among the farm ere. in the province. It will recommend as the only salvation commercially an issue of $1,000,000 in mortgage bonds V be used in assisting the farmers in tb s crisis. . Other measures of relief will also be proposed in its report. The commission' ers say that the corn crop in the prov ince will fall 50,000 tons short of the ac tual necessaties of the people. Buenos Avres is now eending grain to Santa Fe to relieve the distress. In or dinary times the yield in that province is 500,000 tons, but the whole crop this year is practically a failure. The Buenos Ayres farmers will continue to send grain to Santa Fe for the relief of their countrymen, though that will prevent their exporting any grain. GOLDEN STATE TO BE ADVERTISED WILL FIGHT FOR FREE CUBA. Colonel Tlohy la Forming: a Regiment of Bohemian-Americana. Chicago, Dec. 30.
