THE ALLEGED FRAUD ON THE GOVERNMENT
The Origin Of the Report-A Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says:
The inquiry into the alleged fraud practised
by DR.. Gardiner upon the Mexican Commission
has been turned over to Mr.. Fendall, District
Attorney for this District DR.. Charles w.
Davis, secretary of the late board, Benjamin E.
Green, Isaac D. Marks, A. S. PARROT, Mr..
Porte, and Senior Cuesta, of the Mexican Lega-
ton, have been summoned before the grand
jury now sitting, and the three frst-named gen
temen were examined to-day. Mr.. PARROT is
now at Saratoga, but has been written for. He
was formerly consul at Mazatlin.
"The facts developed to-day are, that Mr..
Porte, who is now in New York, but was for
Dmerly merchant at Puebla, Mexico-the same
gentleman who had the tobacco dispute with
ex-Secretary Clayton-stated to PARROT that
Gardiner had told him just previous to his sail
ing that his claim was fraudulent one, and
had been sustained with forged papers got up
in Mexico, and that as parties in Washington
had got the lions share out of it, he was deter
mined they should share the blame also Soon
as Porte told this, Mr.. Cuesta wrote to the
President informing him of it, and demanding
an investigation.
"The Government as yet possesses no evil
dence beyond the alleged assertion of Gardiner,
that fraud has been committed. 1t appears
that Senior Cuesta, interpreter to the Mexican
Project who certified to the genuineness of the
signatures of Gardeners witnesses, and who
consequently acted an important part in getting
the testimony up, held draft on Gardiner fol
twenty-eight thousand dollars, to be presented
in case the claim was allowed. 1t was accord
ingly presented, and Gardiner at once paid il
by draft purchased from Chubb s. Schenck
1t appears that Gardiner has left nearly all his
money here in bank, taking with him but ten
thousand dollars. This circumstance, and the
improbability of his having made such a dis
closure as Porte alleges, throws more than a
doubt upon the whole story. As yet the whole
charge stands upon the yeracity of Mr.. Porte. -
