WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Captain Howgate's bail
increased to 800, 900 to-day. 1t is not improb-
able, the Investigators say that the sum of his de-
falcations will reach 100000. According to indi-
cations thus far discovered he appropriated to his
own use about one-quarter of the money which
passed through his hands. The average annual ap-
preparation for the Signal Service is about $3.50 600
and Captain Howgate had control of the disburse-
ment of the appropriations of five years.
When the Signal Service was first organized the
outlay for instruments and equipment was heavy:
but in succeeding years 1t should have been con-
sderably lessened notwithstanding this fact
however, the maximum appropriations were by
some means obtained from Congress each wear and
thus there was a considerable surplus not expended

control. Captain Howgate's plan of ope, ations was
to secure duplicate vouchers from firms of which he
purchased supplies, representing that the money
to pay for them came from the appropriations of
two different fiscal years, and must be kept separate
In this way he secured two vouchers in blank.
