A PuzzLlNo QUESTION:.


The question has arisen at the post
office department as TO the bond respon-
ability of the post Office clerks and
other employees in Cuba, oil Of whom
are under bond to the postnaasef Of
New York. No actual case has arisen
on which decision must be made, but
in view Of the diplomatic status Of the
island. the military government estab-
lished by the United States and the
appointment Of civilian employees at
military postal stations to establish
and operate the postal service for
the people Of Cuba, there has been
some discussion among officials a. to
how postal officials or employees should
be proceeded against in the event of
defalcation Of funds, which are under
stood to be Cuban funds. There was
some informal discussion Of the sub
ject. and It was pointed out that while
the postal employees sent from the
United States to inaugurate the postal
service, from Director Of Posts Rath-

collect funds, which. II is stated, may
be termed military revenue, and II is

to the United States proper. Under
these circumstances the line of proceed
ure against o possible defaulting en-
ploye is not clear. and II such case
arises some knotty problems are an
ticipated. The complexity as to the
proper procedure on bonds is stated to
be applicable to other government en-

FED BY THE FAIRIES.
GRIDIRON CLUB GIVES ONE OF ITS
UNIQUE DINNERS AND EN-
TERTAINMENTS
LADIES ARE THE GUESTS

Fairy Who Was Summoned to Pro-
vide "a Luncheon Was Over Fat,
and His Appearance ON the Scene
Caused Much Mirth-Ranquet
Hall transformed Into n Bril-
iantIy Lighted Forest.
WASHINGTON, April 8-The Gridiron
club tonight gave an entertainment for
ladies, which was one of the usual pictur-
esque occasions for which the club is
noted. The members Of the club have
made their reputation In unique dinner
giving, and tonight they gave a reception
to large number of guests different
from the usual character Of such affairs
About Its ladies and gentlemen assem-
bled at the Arlington hotel parlors, and
after being received by the president of
the club and his wife, were ushered into
the large banquet hall, which had been
transformed into a most beautiful minia-
ture forest, Illuminated by thousands Of
electric lights Of different colors. There
were trees Of large dimensions and every
chandelier was an over-hanging branch.
These were filed with laurel and green
vines. Amid the branches of the trees
were many birds, so naturally arranged
as TIC make the Illusion more complete.
About the sides of the room were ar
ranged palms and ported flowers. In the
windows were aquariums with live fish
and water fowl Gridiron decorations of
flowers and electric lights hung in the
foliage. The room being entirely sur
rounded with mirrors, everything was
seen in reflection, creating the impression
of a forest most brilliantly lighted.
AS soon as the guests were seated an
entertainment began, containing a num-
Der of musical numbers and vaudeville
selections. AT the end of this part of the
programme President Boynton an
nounced. with much regret, that by some
oversight no refreshments had been pre-
pared. This was received with bitter
complaint from several members, who In
sisted that Gen. Boynton's connection
with the army had made him forgetful Of
the duty to the commissary department.
AN OvERGROWN FAIRY.
In the midst of the discussion one of
the members of the club rushed to a
telephone, hanging In the woods, and
rang for the good fairy of the Gridiron-
ers, who appeared, with magic wand, and
promised to remedy the difficulty. The
fairy was one of the largest members Of
the club. arrayed in suitable fairy cos
tune, and his appearance created great
deal of mirth. One wave Of the fairy
sceptre produced number of cooks with
nice tables and supplies, and one end of
the hall was soon transformed into a re-
freshment bower where an elegant re-
past was served.
During the evening womans suffrage
was given test, each lady voting receiv-
ing a beautiful souvenir.
Among the guests present were the
speaker and Miss Reed. Admiral and Mrs.
Schley, Gen. H. G. Corbip, Senator and
Mrs. German, Mrs. Frank Hatton Rev.

Wilmington Impressed Natives ON
Trip Up OrinocO.

AHAP ~ seOSOs
WASHINGTON, April S.-United States
Minister Loomis, at Caracas, has sent to
the state department an account of the
trip made by the u. 8. S. Wilmington
up to Orinoco and along the north coast
of Venezuela, in which he says that the
Wilmington made "a strong and agree
able impression wherever she touched in
Venezuela. 1.-THE splendid condition and
appearance of the men and the boat, y
he said, never failed to call forth praise
from those who saw them, and as a re-
suit of the trip, I think it will be found
that American prestige will be substan-
TALLY augmented, andsthe idea of Amer
lean power and resources greatly deep
ened and widened. Practical results are
ming, too, in the way of Increased
commerce with the United States, and if
our merchants and manufacturers will
take advantage of the favorable con-
ditions that have been created for them
they ought to profit very largely"
Minister Loomis impressed the native
officials deeply by causing the Whining
toms machine guns to be fired whenever
any Of the army officers came aboard
The result was the forwarding of several
orders to the United States for similar
weapons. The captain Of the Whining
ton caused a chart to be made Of the
river as far up as Ciudad Bolivar, there
being none in existence before.

Why So Many OF the Dead Soldiers
Cannot BE Identified.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-One Of the
reasons why there are so many bodies
brought up from Santiago marked I'M
known is due to the fact that the Cubans
in that province are too lazy to cut wood.
Among the visitors to Cuba during the
past few weeks were Representative
Lands, of Illinois, and Lacet, of Iowa.
These gentlemen report on their return
that the Cubans have been in the habit
of removing the stakes which marked
the graves of the American dead for fire.
wood, being too lazy to cut fuel for them
selves. These gentlemen are filled full
of stories concerning the character Of
the men for whom the United States has
sacrificed SO much Representative La
Get, for instance asked Gen. Wood what
In his opinion would be the result of the
removal of the American troops from the
island. Gen. Wood replied that when the
rumor to the effect that such action was
contemplated on the part of the United
States was current in Santiago, some
few weeks ago, he was Immediately APP
preached by the French, German and
English consuls, who anxiously inquired
as to the truth of the rumor, and they
informed him that If it were so they
would Immediately cable their govern
ments to send war ships not only to San
tiago, but to Havana as well, In order
that the interests of their respective
countries might be properly protected
They did not hesitate to express them
selves of the belief that the withdrawal
of the American military protection
would result in a revolution. According
to these congressional visitors to the
island 1t will be necessary for the United
States to maintain military force in
Cuba for long time to come. There is
no immediate prospect that stable gov
eminent can be established which will
be absolutely independent of the United
States. In other words, months, perhaps
years. must elapse.

POSTAL DEFICIT REDUCED.
Shortage for the Quarter Half What
1T Was Last Year.


WASHINGTON, April s.-Ffgures were
made public today at the postoff1ce de-
partment showing receipts for the past
quarter and those Of the corresponding
one last year. Comparison shows, that
the deficit for the quarter just closed is
much less than half what 1t was for the
same period last year and 1898 was not
bad year either. In figures the deficit is
1851 .46. This looks large standing by
Itself. but compared with the figures of
1896 it is small. The deficit last year for
tho same quarter was 81, 419, 1880. If the
revenues of the department continue in
creasing during the next three quarters
of the year as they have in, these three
months, there will be a small deficiency
perhaps $2OOO,000 or a little more. The
deficiency is usually from $4,000, 600 to $12,-
100000 annually. The total receipts for
the quarter were 1924, III, 7O6; the expendi-
lures were $25, 1884, SIS. AS compared with
last year the increases are as follows
