ClNCINNATI'S FRAUDS.
The Vigilance OF the Officials Rewarded.
THE GOVERNMENT PREPARED TO
SMASH THE RING.

WASHINGTON, May l2.-In regard to he
discovery of an extensive wh'skey ring in Gin
c'nnati,and the seizures made yesterday, Com
missioner Raum says that for sometime past
his office has been suspecting frauds in the
manufacture and sale of spirits at Cincin-
natl. and for several months careful watch
has been kept of the operations of major
ity OF the distilleries and rectifying houses.
Some of these establishments were situated,
however so that great difficulty was found
in maintaining watch over them; but little
by little evidence was obtained of traudu.
lent practices through reissue of stamps
and various other modes. At last active op
erations were begun -looking to positive
measures. Gen. Raum thinks that but for
the drawback the seizures would have been
made before this. He says that n the latter
part of April the distillers got information
and took alarm. Since that time plans have
been perfected for making the seizures.
The commissioner is satisfied with the re-
suits obtained so far. 1t is expected that
other important seizures VIII be made to-
night or tomorrow. if they were not made
today. The commissioner thinks that the
ring will be entirely broken up. II is
claimed that this ring was in existence at
the time the Chicago and ST. Louis rings
were broken up, but for some reason or
other was left untouched
