FRAUDS IN THE METHODIST BOOK CONFERENCE.
1t appears that the frauds discovered in the
Methodist Book Conference consist in the al
legged fact thai the son of DR.. Porter, one of
the agents, has received commissions for the
past eight or nine years, averaging not less
than per cent, for the purchasing of printing
paper for the institution, that is. the agent has
permitted his son, who is paper broker, to
charge heavy commission for doing what it
was the agents duty to do himself Report
says the purchases on which commissions have
been allowed amounted to $3.50, 900 per annum,
and also that his son sold paper to the concern
at a rate which gave him a still greater profit.
Irregularities are also reported in the binding
department, but no particulars are known. A
rigid examination is in progress, and the inn

OF the Times writes as follows: The note of the
american MINISTER to the Spanish government
IN regaio TO Cuba varies both It's tone and
lions between the Spanish Mn;ster ~ WIS.,
ington and the government of the United
States The diplomatic experience Of General
Sickles is limited and probably insufficient to
enable him to rightly estimate the yaine and ~
effect of his words. Doubtless he is much snr.
prised at the excitement they have created
and it will be difficult for his government to
approve of them. No pretext exists for recog-
nizing the Cuban instruction, which does not
hold single town or position, and owes its
prolongation to the action of the climate on its
opponents, and to the facilities afforded to the
insurgents in the thinly populated country.
The appointment of Gen. Sickles as Minister
to Spain was greatly criticised, and has not yet
been sanctioned by the Senate. That body
will do Itself credit by refusing to confirm The
