from the latest developments OF he whisky rinS
imbrogiio it seems that the prosecution againt the
members OF the ring, instead OF having been brxen
aown by Its recent defeats has in fact, gained ai-
uonai strength. The clouds which had gatheAd
.ca'eningy over the heads OF the delipquet
onioiais were only temporarily scattered. They haN
again closed with increased fury and menace tn

next with evidence enough to shake the i'm
perturbabllity OF the mighty men OF tho
whiskey ring Secretary McCulloch has declared
his intention of standing aloof from the
squabble hereafter and says that he will ntercede
for no one. Judging from all that has escaped from
the side OF the prosecution there are at least three
members u the Cabinet implicated with the whis-
key ring, though two Of them have taken no active
part IN the operations OF the ring for pecuniary
benefits but have known OF the existence Of fraud
and corruption in official places, and have lent their
aid in shielding the culprts from exposure and pun

third member, il thorough ventilation Of the sys-
tenn Of fraud be entered into, will be directly In
volved with it as deeply as any OF the other chief
managers Of the fraternity. At least that Is
the dit. 1t Is also stated that noted
lobbyist Of New York, who Is charged with
being the rlngleader Of these frauds, Will
be openly charged with his share Of the rascality,
and 1t is even limited that he will be arrested within
very few days. The President, it Is alleged has
not abated any OF his determination to see the end
Of the fraud mudde, and Judge Fullerton now con-
sders that his professional reputation is at stake anu
will spare none, either high low, In the effort to
vndicate himself from the reproach OF entering SO
theoretically into the prosecution Of weak case
with equivocal motives. All those who are arragned
as defendants, although seriously annoyed at the
prominent and unenvable positions they are obliged
to take, to feel confident OF coming out victo
rious.
The Cuban EiIibustcring Expedition n Hoax.
The rumors Of intended fbusterlng movements
on Cuba has attracted the attention OF the govern
ment but Investigations thus far have failed to de-
velop particle Of truth in the sensational story
published the other day by New York paper. Near
ly all the prominent people mentioned by that paper
as participants in the scheme declare that all they
knew OF their connection with it was VI a. nav
in print. They denounce the referred to al
big hoax. General H.snningsen, who was described
as very active consprator has had nothing what.
ever to do with it. and instead OF Matching revolution
no has been in Richmond the last week quietly at.
tending to some whiskey interests DESTROYED soma
time ago by the frauds Of certain government ON
cals. There is movement undoubtedly like the one
informed you Of nearly month ago, but nothing
at all similar to that so deliberately described in the
sensation publication. The movement Ia almost
wholly Cuban, planned by natives, and prosecuted
by funds supplied by them in concert with certain
agents in this country and Mexico All then adj
vised you Of has since been abundantly verified By
the news from Cuba itself,

Reduction Of the Force or Employees In the
Government Departments.
Many persons have arrived here from various
States seeking government employment Instead Of
increasing the departments are diminishing their
forces and therefore there Is prospect Of success

now, but that he has already made engagements
fully to meet all business demands In the future.
Tcnacity OF the Female Clerks.
On making out an additional list OF female clerks
to be dismissed from the ONCE of the Registry OF the
Treasury General Jeres has been careful to retain
the widows and daughters OF soldiers and others
who have no means OF support apart from employ
ment In his bureau. The outside pressure brought
upon this ofcial since the reduction OF the female
employees commenced, for the retention OF specified
clerks. Is Of formidable character.
