THE QUEER POSTAL SERVICE OF
kAVANA

Under the Spanish system, Mr.. Rsth-
bone found that the letter-csrriers re-
ceived their pay by charging from three
every letter they delivered. Ii took only
a dav or two TO have that system sbol-
ished In Havana, much 10 the relief OF
the merchants. The carriers were put
on salaries equivalent 10 that which they
were supposed 10 earn by the assessment
method they were permitted to use under
the former regime.
The carriers under the Spanish sys-
ten not only charged for the delivery of
mail matter, but they rifed letters free
", and made money by stealing stamps
from mall matter and selling them. The
letters aud other grades OF mail matter
would be forwarded without stamps,
and the carriers st the other end Of the
routes would collect not only for deliv-
ery, but for the stamps that had been
stolen. There WAS simply an unpsral-
leled looseness in the conduct Of post
Office business, and every man seemed 10
have license to steal wherever he could.
Even newspapers would be stolen from
bundles aud sold for whstever could be
got for them.
Another form OF corruption was evil
dent when the salary lists were examin-
ed. There was no scale OF salaries. In
one city postmaster would receive
twice the salary that the postmaster Of a
larger city received. Salaries seemed to
be arranged on the ''pull" plan, with the
possibilities of division with the appoint
ing power afterward. Places that under
the liberal payment Of the United States
would rate st $500 = year we're worth
frequently "a much as $1,000 q year

as Of the daring order IL must have
