Frauds of the Havana Lottery.

HAVANA, February H. 1874
Though many DAYS have passed the wings Of
light and shadow since my Last letter was inserted
in the sparkling columns of your paper, assure
you have often desired that circumstances here
were such as to enable me to dip my pen in the
brilliant cOlOrs of the rain bow to portray happy
state of things. in order that my correspondence
might be agreeable to your readers and the friends
of Cuba at home and abroad. But the case is quite
different. TIE Gem of the Antilles" is rretrieva-
bly, lost to Spain. Distrust and poverty prevail
here; the government is bankrupt, and ruin is
staring the Inhabitants of the exaithful island in
the face.
ent. like Hamlet. "contending with a sea OF trou-
bles." The officials under him are dishonest and
only aspire to plunder private individuals and
even the treasury. To give yOran instance, will
state that Senior valero the chief administrator of
the Havana ROYAL Lottery, is now in Jail. He like
some of his predecessors has brought the lottery
into such disrepute that very few persons here
buy tickets Most of them sold abroad,
where purchasers ignorant of the thefts prac-
tced
The administrator of the lottery is criminally
prosecuted, having for some time past kept soma
of the numbers out OF the globe, then purchased
the tickets bearing those numbers and calling them
out as having drawn prizes. The buyers of tickets
have, of course, been grossly swindled by this en-
terprising officer. who, in short time, is believed
to have made as much money as your sstoTs and
Stewards.
Senior valero is also charged with number of
stealing operations whereby he has robbed the
people IN the most barefaced manner. Ore of his
games was to lay the subj olectors under contri-
button and backmail them another pet scheme
was the distribution of lottery tickets, with COM
mission of twenty-five cents on each for himself.
He also kept all the unsold tickets liz his desk. and
if any of them drew prizes he presented thens
through third party and got the money Ia this
way the Havana Royal Lottery has been managed.
Some years ago two persons presented each the
same ticket, which had drawn the largest prize.
The lottery is now managed b Don RaIael de la
Tore the Secretary of Senior Valero; but the lati
tude given to the manager, and the plan of draw
ing prizes are such that 1t is almost impossible to
prevent frauds. fe25 Up ct

This is pu: i'll the course Of reference
to the injunction suit against the funding
bill now pending in the United States
Circuit Court. To which we reply. there
will doubtless be revival of the old tax
laws, which some of us hope have been
repealed by the funding act. Certain it
is. that the collections for back taxes.
to the full amount Of the assessment vii!
be made in cash. with costs and penalties
in the same currency. Ii the funding law
be set aside by the courts, all its pro.
visions will fall to the ground and all acts
repealed by it necessarily revived.
The tax for lS7. will thus be raised
from fourteen and half mills to more
than twenty-one, and the Picaygne will
be expected to.wheel into line and do
some loud groaning for the :ax.resisters.
until another opportunity presents itself
to obtain relief. when its efforts in that
direction will be intermitted by an
espousa! of the cause Of the nonresident
