HIS STATEMENTS IN REGARD TO SOUTH AMERICAN
NAILS DENIED.
Mr.. IOfin BlOigett, whose name was recently be-
fore the public the representative of the Blod-
gett heirs in their claim to a large tract
Of land In the heart or this city, has
been interviewed In the Philadelphia Press
On the subject OF the destruction OF the
United States mails for South America He MAIN
tains that mail matter destined for South America,
especially If 1t comes from American merchants is
thrown overheard from the English steamers and
never reaches its destination. This Is the result,
he says, OF English enlnty. and Mr.. Blodgett con-
cludes that the only remedy Is to have American
steamers and American conSuiS TO receive the mail
destined for foreign ports.
STAR reporter this morning called the atten-
ton OF colonel Crawford the chief of the foreign
mails division OF the Post Office department io
these statements Colonel Crawford characterized
the charge that American mail was destroyed on
beard The English steamers as absurd. ''I'he mail
that passes through she English Office" he said
lis placed In Sc lied bags and then put on board
the steamers The American mail is put in with
the English and that from other countries. The
only way 10 get at IL would be 10 break the seals,
dnG mat would at once lead to detection. Besides,
II nI.il WAS destroyed. there would De all sorts OF
complaints made. and we have heard nothing of
the oOrt In this OlIice.n

Is Very little American mail Tor South America
that GOES 10 England. We have American steam
ship :iacs 10 Brazil and Panama and the bulk OF
the American mail goes In that way. There f.
hardly any Use OF answering this matter in detail
because Mr. BiodgetJ has paid but little attention
