NEW YORK, April ia private letter re-
ceived in New York to-day from trust
worthy gentleman residing in the City of
Mexico, says: "E7our of the men arrested on
the charge of being implicated in the derail-
ing of President Diaz's train few weeks
ago have been shot. The execution was car
ried out very quietly, as not infrequently
happens in such cases in this country. News
papers and news agencies did not publish the
fact as editors stand in wholesome awe of
Imprisonment and do not give publicity
to events which the governmental authorities
prefer should remain in obscurity.
The prospect now is that we are going to
have exciting times here before long The
impression is deepening in many minds that
President Diaz will not be able to maintain
his position to the end of his present term.
Indeed, many think Gonzale will succeed to
the presidency before eighteen months have

Sufficient Evidence Discovered to Inv

Wholesale Robbcries of
Government Funds.


PORTLAND, Ore, April ia Port Town.
send w. T., special says; The United States
grand jury has found twenty-five indictments
against William Harmed, ,ex-deputy collector;
eleven against Herbert +. Beecher, ex-treas-
ury agent, and twelve against Quincy A.
Brooks, for stealing from the government.
The records and accounts have been thor
oughly overhauled and presented TO the
grand jury by government officials especially
sent from Washington by the treasury
department in January, to make an
investigation of the many charges preferred
by the press and public. The records were
examined for n year back. Tho first thing
found was that vessels had been overcharged
in entrance and clearance, and private re-
cepts issued. The government receipts came
out of what is known as the "blue book"
and many leaves of this had been destroyed
and private receipts issued instead. BY this
method vessels were swindled out of small
sums which aggregated many thousand
dollars in each year. In other places it was
found that vessels were charged in some in-
stances hundreds of dollars more than cred.
ited Two Thousand government receipts
were found in q mutilated condition, con-
cealed in various parts of the Office.
The largest steal discovered was IN duties
paid on a cargo of the British bark Madeira,
from Liverpool, last June. Six Thousand
and thirty eight dollars were paid, of which
the government received 1904. The records
indicated no money paid during the month,
but one of the consignees claimed to have
paid Harmed. Harmed acknowledged appro-
prating the money, and took bag contains
ing 81, 900 TO Acting Collector Cullom to
| make good his accounts. The clerk at Sex
attic holds n receipt for 81, ,660, and 1913 s
credited to the government for the entire
| month. After Harmed was dismissed over
Sl2,O 900 was found in various parts OF tho
| office, secreted under carpets, IN flower pots,
pigeon holes and other places.
The records of the daily receipts during tho
| latter part of Beecher's time are also miss
| ing. In addition, other records up to Har-
| ned's dismissal last November are gone,
| making it impossible to accurately determine
| the amount of the deficit. Brooks is short
| $4,000 in addition to illegal fees collected.
amounting to $4,000. All three are specific
| ally charged with eXtortion, removing public
records and fasifylng accounts. There are
| 63S opium stamps missing valued at s. each,
| besides large number of Chinese return
| certificates, which have been missing since
| the passage of the exclusion act.
| Harmed and Beecher will be arrested to-
morrow. They refuse to talk. Brooks is in
| Washington. Harmed is worth $4,000 and
| has many warm personal friends on Puget
| Sound. ~

The Truth.
SAN ANTONIO, .

FAN ANTONIO, June !, 1889.
Ed. SAN ANTONIO LIGHT: saw in yor r
issue of the 4tb inst. the card of J. Schuele as
well as in your issue of the 5th inst. the ar
swer of H. d. Kampmann, which was not in
accordance with fact, and as Mr.. Kampmann
failed to answer the challenge of James T.
Skirving think it fit TO throw some light on
the matter, and to test the truthfulness of Mr.
Kampmann's answer of the 5th inst.
Mr.. Kamp mann SAYS: ~ desire to say that
nave not sold machine to Mr.. Geo. Dullnig
and have no connection with same" The
Dullnigs mill shows that this particular ice
machine was delivered to the Triumph Ice
Mch. Co., San Antonio consisting of
H. D. Kampmann, l.. Berg. ana G. F.
Knox. therefore the ice machine at Mr.
CeoQlOulni.'s mill must have been
delivered from the Triumph Ice Machine Co.,
San Antonio, or in other words: from Mr.. H.
d. Kampmann, and as the ice machines are
shipped direct frorn the penitentary at
Huntsville to the Triumph Ice Machine Co.,
San Antonio, Mr.. Kampm2nn must undoubt-
the pPnitentiary, ar a therefore it is indffer-
ent if Mr.. Kampmann ordered the ice ma
chimes through third person or not; he
knows that they are made at the penltentiary
at Huntsville ard Orsequently can be sold
for less money than if they were made by
honest mechanics.
In regard TO the workmanship of the ma
chimes Mr. Kampmann may consider himself
an expert in mechanical matters, but any
mechan cal engineer will see at once that the
workmanship OF the Triumph Ice Machines,
built ~ the penitentiary OF Huntsville are not
only very inferior, but very rough to those of
MR. .Schuehle, built at Burlington Iron Works
Iowa,
The moral Of this history is:
Mr.. H. D. KampRann employs large mum.

do.
