THEPOSTALSCANDAL
General Bristow Goes to Cuba
to Take Charge.
RATHBONE MAY BE DISMISSED
Neely Will KIgnt Extradition Lack:
of Inspection Said to Be the
Cause of the Trouble.
WASHINGTON'. May 1 The Postmaster-General,
after a protracted interview
with the President today, announced that
Joyeph L. Bristow, Fourth Assistant
Postmaster-General, will proceed to Ha
vana next "Wednesday to take charge of
the postal affairs of the Island of Cuba.
The Postmaster-General declined to say
whether or not Director of Posts Rath
bone w ould be suspended. It is said, how
ever, that the fact that General Bristow
will assume these duties does not neces
sarily Indicate that Mr. Rathbone will bo
relieved from all connection with the serv
ice. General Bristow outranks the Direc
tor of Posts, and the latter might operate
as a subordinate, though on this point no
statement is vouchsafed.
Further than the announcement that
Mr. Bristow would go to Havana, the
Postmaster-General said there were no
developments in the situation. He said
that there had not been an intimation that
there had been any wrongdoing in the
postal affairs of either the Philippine
Islands or Porto RJco.
Respecting rumors that similar Irreg
ularities to those developed in Cuba have
developed in other Insular possessions
over which the military Jurisdiction has
been extended, it Is declared positively at
the War Department that, while the in
spectors have been -working constantly to
improve the administrative service, they
have not found a single case involving
moral turpitude.
SLOW TO RESPOND.
Congressional Inquiries Tiot An
swered by "War Department.
NEW YORK, May 14. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The later developments In the Cuban
postal scandals have produced a feeling
among a number of Senators and Repre
sentatives that Congress has not been
treated in all respects with entire frank
ness by gome of the officials of the War
Department, which is especially charged
with the administration of civil affairs In
Cuba, as well as In the Philippine Archi
pelago, and, until recently. In Porto Rico.
So long ago as January 17 the Senate
adopted the following resolution:
"That the Secretary of War be and is
hereby directed to send to the Senate an
Itemized statement of public receipts from
taxation, customs and other sources, col
lected in Cuba, and also of public expendi
tures, including salaries paid to all offi
cers, and incidental expenses In Cuba out
of revenues so collected since the United
States Government assumed control of
that island."
The reply of the Secretary of War was
dated February 15. It was prepared under
the supervision of Assistant-Secretary
Meiklejohn, who has had entire charge of
insular affairs in the War Department
ever since that duty was first assigned "to
him by Secretary Alger, nearly 18 months
agoj In -the letter transmitting the report.
Secretary Root explained that "if an item
ized statement In greater detail than Is
shown in the enclosed copies of reports
and certificates is desired, recourse must
be had to the accounts kept in Cuba," and
he added:
"A copy of the resolution of the Senate
of January 17 has been forwarded to the
Military Governor of Cuba, with a direc
tion that such a detailed statement be I
prepared and that without awaiting tho
completion of such detailed statement, a
statement showing the salaries paid to all
officers and Incidental expenses be pre
pared and sent to ths department, when
it will be forwarded to the Senate."
That was three months ago, and so far
as could be learned, the detailed state
ment of salaries, etc., has not yet been
received and sent to the Senate.
On January 25 the Senate passed a reso
lution directing the Secretary of War to
send to the Senate "fuh and exact copies
of all proclamations and orders that have
been Issued or made respecting the col
lection of customs. Internal and other
revenues In the islands of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines since the selzuro
thereof by the Government of the United
States: the rate of such customs, internal
and other revenues, the total amount
thereof, a list of the persons or person
engaged in such service, and how such
customs, internal and other revenues
have been and are being disbursed, and
whether the same or any part thereof
have been converted Into the Treasury of
the United States."
The Senate has not received any re
sponse to this resolution, which it adopted
about four months ago.
The monthly "Itemized statement" of re
ceipts and disbursements sent by the Au
ditor and the Treasurer of the respective
islands to the Secretary of War, a copy
of which -was also sent to the Military
Governor, was of no value whatever for
any other purpose than to show how much
money had been received by each Collector
of Revenue. Including the Collector of
Postal Revenue, and how much had been
expended by each disbursing officer, under
the general heads of account. There Is
nothing to show, for example, how many
persons are required to compose the
official and clerical staff of the Director
General of Posts, or the amount of com
pensation paid to each only the lump sum
of 556.S34 paid on that account for the six
months ended June 30. 1S99.
The department is organized and officer
ed on a generous scale, if one may fatriy
Judge by the total disbursement for sal
aries and the number of separate bureaus.
There is a Bureau of Finance, a Bureau
of Postal Accounts, a. Bureau of Transla
tion, a Bureau of Appointments, a Bureau
of Transportation, a Bureau of Postal
Money Orders, a Bureau of Special Agents,
a Bureau of Registration and a Bureau
of Dead Letters, besides a chief clerk and
a superintendent and disbursing officers
both evidently necessary and useful ad
juncts of such an official establishment.
According to the official report from
which this information Is gleaned, there
was employed on December 19. 1S99. an
"Acting Advlsorj- Council." but "the legal
branch of the department" had not yet
been permanently organized. There were
in the neighborhood of 150 postoffices In
operation at that time, and the total popu
lation, including United States troops, was
estimated at 1,250.(00. According to un
official information, the salary of the
Director-General who presides over this
department, amounts to ?00u0 a year and
"perquisites."
LACK OF INSPECTION.
Root to ninme for the Cuban Postal
Frauds.
NEW YORK. May 14. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Prominent officers of the Army declare
that the Havana postal frauds are directly
due to the failure of Secretary Root to
permit the Inspector-General's Depart
ment to make Inspections of civil accounts
In Cuba as repeatedly urged by Brigadier
General J. C. Breckinridge. Inspector
General. An officer familiar with th
facts assorted that the scandal would
probably never have come to light had it
not been for the Investigation made by
Colonel G. H. Burton, but might have been
nipped in the bud.
General Breckinridge formally called the
attention of the War Department on
March 17. ISO?, to the advisability of hav
ing all Cuban accounts inspected by an
office- of his department. He again
brought the matter to the attention of the
department several montha later. HIa
first suggestion was unnoticed, his second
waa vetoed.
Information which has reached the "War
Department indicates that Lieutenant
Colonel E. a. Garllngton. Inspector-Gen
eral at Manila, upon hlo arrival found
abuses existing which have been correct
ed. "What the extent of these abuees and
thelrcharacter the officials assert that they
do not know, and they profess the greatest
ignorance of any scandals having been
found in the Phllipplnea. Nevertheless It
is authoritatively stated that Ueutenant
Colonel Garllngton did find conditions
which, when called to the attention of
General crtls. were Immediately corrected.
EXTRADITIOX OF XEELT.
Requisition Papers Sent to Governor
Roosevelt.
NEW YORK. May 14. In speaking of
the requisition for the extradition of
Charles Neely, the chief of finance, di
vision of the Postofflce Department of
Cuba, who Is charged with embezzlement,
and is now out on ball. United States
District Attorney Burnett said today:
"I have received the requisition papers
from Washington, and have communicat
ed with Governor Roosevelt in regard to
the hearing, which Is always allowed the
defendant In extradition cases. I pre
sume the hearing will be held not later
than Wednesday."
After reading the papers, which came
by messenger from Washington, John D,
Lindsay, counsel for Neely, informed Dis
trict Attorney Burnett that he would op
pose the granting of the extradition pa
pers.
"To zay surprise," said Mr. Lindsay to
an Evening Post reporter, "the charges
in Go'ernor Wood's requisition papers go
back to the old Spanish laws; they ac
cuse our client of a violation of tho penal
code of Cuba, article 401. section 3, which
reads: 'Any public employe who has
charge of public funds who takes or con
sents that others will take any part there
of shall be punished with the penalty of
Presidio Mayor, if the sum taken exceeds
C250 pesetas and does not exceed 125,000 pe
setas.' Under this charge, if convicted.
he may be Imprisoned in quarters provid
ed In the place where the crime was com
mitted for a term not exceeding 12 years
or less than six years and a day. The
charges are not brought under the United
States laws, the maximum nenaltv for
tho same offense being seven years, nor
under the postal laws of Cuba, which pro
vide ior a penalty or not less than six
months nor more than 10 years. As the
charges read, the authorities want to try
him in Cuba without a Jury and before a
Judge appointed by the Military Governor.
Our client asks to be tried In tho United
States Court as a citizen."
GREATER TIIAJf EXPECTED.
Cubans Immensely Pleased "Wltn the
Disclosures.
HAVANA. May 14. The extent of tho
postal frauds Is far greater than what
was oroglnally expected. Besides taking
In the Postal Department, the frauds seem
to include the Havana office and various
others throughout the Islands, and also
to have extended to outside points, which
have been used for the sale of some
of the Issue of stamps that were ordered
destroyed. Reeves and Reynolds, the
Auditors of the Postal Department, are
still under arrest at their own rooms. In
charge of detectives. It appears that the
frauds ramified in almost every possible
direction. Even the rented boxes havo
been a source of Illegitimate gain. Every
additional revelation increases the amaze
ment of the Americans here.
The Cubans seem to be immensely
pleased. They declare that the Americans
can no longer boast in Cuba of their
superior honesty when in Government em
ploy. THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.

BULLER ROUTS THE BOERS
SUCCEEDS IN FORCING THE BIG
GARSBERG. ,
British Expected to Occnpy Dundee
Soon Roberts Will Make a Brief
Ualt at Krooaitad.
LO-fDON, May 14. A special dispatch
from Stone Hill farm, near Natal, dated
today, says:
"General Buller's advance commenced
Thursday, when he left Ladysmlth in
strength. When within two miles of
Helpmaaker, the Boers opened a heavy
fire of artillery, and the British gnus re
plied while a portion of Buller's troops
worked around the Boer flanks. The
British attack was pressed home Sunday.
Bethuene on the right, outflanked the
Boers, whose splendid defensive positions
on the Biggarsberg were practically
taken. General Buller's march, subse
quent to the attack, was carried out
without a hitch. The British are still
pushing on."
Forced the Blgrgnrsberjr.
LONDON. May 14. A dispatch received
by tho Associated Press from Pletermar
Itzburg, Natal, timed 12:05 P. M. today,
brought the first Intimation of success at
tained bv General' Buller, in Northern Na
tal. The sender of this dispatch evident
ly assumed that news of the affair had
been received direct from the scene bf hos
tilities, for he merely said:
"General Buller's official telegram noti
fying of his success at Biggarsberg, and
received here an hour ago, has given keen
satisfaction. It to confidently anticipated
that Dundee will be occupied by the Brit
ish today. Residents of tho north coun
try are delighted, as -the forcing of the
Biggarsberg means tbt they will speed
ily be enabled to return to their homes."
Another dispatch to the Associated Press
dated Stone Hill Farm, 8:20 this morning,
says:
"After four days' march eastward at
tho foot of the Biggarsberg ridges in the
direction of Helpmaaker, which was occu
pied by the Federals, the Second Brlgado
on Sunday led the attack. Dundonald'a
cavalry broke the Boers' center, and
Bethuenes' horse advanced on their ex
treme right In the direction of Pomeroy.
A small party of burghers occupied a
ridge overlooking Helpmaaker, but they
did not wait for an assault."
Recent scouting In tho direction of Dun
dee has shown that the Federals were in
great force on Biggarsberg. so apparently
General Buller concluded that It was nec
essary to clear them from his rear before
commencing a movement In the direction
of the Drakensberg Range.
A correspondent of the Reuter Tele
gram Company at Cape Town says the
American residents are taking steps to
repudiate the statements of Webster Da
vis, ex-United States Assistant Secretary
of the Interior, who recently visited South
Africa.
ROBERTS' PLANS.
After a Brief Halt He Will Make a
Fresh Start for the Vaal.
NEW YORK. May 14. A dispatch to tho
Tribune from London 6ays:
General Roberts has an army of 200.000
men for guarding his communications and
operating on a front virtually 200 miles
wide, from Fourteen Streams to Biggars
berg. Against this army the Boers have
20.000 burghers In the Transvaal and Na
tal, and President Steyn has perhaps 5000
burghers under arms In the Bethlehem
district. The Dutch have fought bravely
and made a wonderful defense, but the
day of miracles has passed.
There was sharp skirmishing on Friday
on the road to Kroonstad, and Gordon's
cavalry brlgado acted with gallantry In
the final onset. Tho town was formally
surrendered by the Landrost after the
Transvaal burghers had removed the bulk
of their own stores, blown up a bridge,
wrecked the railway station and done oth
er damage. There were groups of British
sympathizers In the streets when Gen
eral Roberts entered the town at the
head of his troops, and the scenes enacted
at Bloemfonteln under similar conditions
were repeated. Tho troops halted yester
day, after their long march, the two col
umns, which had been 40 miles apart at
the outset, having been massed at Kroon
stad. This town will now bo converted
Into an advanced base of supplies for op
erations In the Transvaal.
While General Botha, with the Transvaal
burghers, has retired to the Vaal River.
President Steyn, with the remnant of tho
Free State Army, is making a feeble stand
In tho northeastern corner. Hellbron has
been abandoned because It lies on the
lino of General Roberts' march, but Llnd
ley, on the Vaalsch River, north of Flcks
burg, Is held by a small Dutch force as
a temporary capital, with Bethlehem and
Harrlsmith as places of refuge. Ollvicr's
commandoes have been operating against
Rundle's division from Mequatllngs Nek,
from which the line of retreat leads
through Flcksburg to Bethlehem.
General Brabant's scouts reported Satur
day that the Boers were moving north.
What remains of the Free State forco
could be easily dispersed If General Hild-
yard's division were sent from Natal over
the mountains to Harrlsmith, but Run
dle's division, with cavalry, seems entire
ly competent to deal with It without as
sistance.
General Roberts plan of campaign, un
less all signs fall, will not Include opera
tions on a large scale against Bethlehem
and the scattered Free State commandoes
on the eaetern flank. He will make a
fresh start for the Vaal after a brief halt,
and carry the bulk of his army into tho
Transvaal, leaving Steyn's burghers at lib
erty to retain control of a small section
of the country around Bethlehem, where
they will gradually disperse under pres
sure from Bundle.
VIOLATED THE WHITE FLAG.
Roberts Reports the Heavy Loss of
the Innskllllnss.
LONDON, May 14.-3:12 P. M. The War
Office has received a dispatch from Lord
Roberts, which says:
"Kroonstad, May 13. There were mo-e
casualties in tho cavalry division on May
10 than reported by me. I have been un
able to get an exact account of what oc
curred, as the commanding officer. Captain
Elsworthy, was killed, and two officers
were wounded at the same time and have
been .sent to the rear. But It would ap
pear that a party of our men going up
to a kraal on which a white flag was
flying was suddenly attacked by a larg
number of the enemy.
"Two officers. Captain Halg, of the
Sixth Dragoons, and Lieutenant Wilkin
son, of the Australian Horse, were made
prisoners, and 21 men are still unaccount
ed for. Some of them may have turned
up. as the cavalry covered a considerable
distance on May 10, and reported tho
missing have been rejoining during the
last few days."
The above dispatch refers to the Iceocs
sustained by the Innlskilllngs May 10, de
tailed In the dispatcher of the Associated
Press on Saturday last. The trooper
were flred on while unsaddling thett
horses, having approached the kraal unsus
piciously, as a white flag was flying frotr
It.
Movements of Brabant' Foreel
THABANCHU. May 13. The Eighth
Division, with Its front extending 30
miles, was yesterday moving forward.
General Grenfell and General Brabant
followed the Boers, reaching Newberry
Mills, and capturing great quantities of
flour and grain. General Brabant's main
force, with Campbell's Brigade of Guard?,
and General Boyes Brigade, have cleared
the country. The Boors are splitting up.
and retiring In the direction of Clocolan.
The Nevr Free State Capital.
KROONSTAD, May 12. President Steyn
has gone to Hellbron. not. Llndley. He
has declared he former the new capital.
THE NEGRO'S PROGRESS.
Controller Dawcii on the Advance
ment of the Colored Man.
CHICAGO. May 14. Charles G. Dawes;
Controller of the Currency, addressed the
Men's Sunday Club at Qulnn Chapel last
evening and received an enthusiastic re
ception. He told his auditors of the won
derful progress made by the people of the
colored race since freedom and equality
of rights have been given them, and
pointed out how they had been accom
plishing much In the last 35 years.
Other speakers were: Dr. W. P. Thlrk
leld. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen and Dr. C M.
Mason. Mr. Dawes said:
"During the orief period which has In
tervened since the close of the Civil Wat
In the United States, the educational and
Industrial progress of the colored people
has been marvelous. At the clue of the
war the free colored population of the
United States was about 10 per cent of the
total, and a very small proportion of this
number could read or write."
Mr. Dawes then gave statistics of the
advancement of the colored race, and In
concluding said: .
"In agriculture, commerce, manufactur
ing, literature and art, and in every line
of business enterprise or educational effort
In which this nation la engaged, the col
ored people have their competent repre
sentatives. In literature, colored authors
have made a most creditable showing. It
is not generally known, but It is a fact
that the library of Congress contains over
1100 books and pamphlets written by col
ored men and women, embracing poetry,
fiction, history and sociology.
"In everj" war in which the United
States has been engaged from the Revo
lution to the Spanish-American war, the
colored man has distinguished himself on
the field of battle. There are now In the
United States Army two regiments of col
ored cavalry and four regiments of In
fantry and a large number of colored men
are enlisted In the Navy. Surgeon S. B.
Hunt, late of the United States Army,
has recently made an exhaustive research
into the capacity of the colored man as a
soldier, and hj says:
" 'For the purpose of the soldier, he has
all the physical character required. His
temperament adapts him to camp life
and his morals conduce to discipline. He
is brave and steady In action. In all sub
sequent ware, the country will rely very
largely upon the negro population as a
part of its military power.' In these facts,
which I have thus hurriedly grouped,
and In many others which might be cited,
is found tho highest incentive to still
greater efforts on your part for your
people."
Michigan Town Burned.
MILWAUKEE. May 14. A Sentinel
special from Marinette, Wis., says:
Fire started In the big lumber and cedar
yards of the C. H. Worcester Company,
