FRAUD UNEARTHED
Havana Customs Officials Ar
rested for a SWindIe

Havana, Dec. 20.--An immense sensation
was caused in Havana this afternoon by
the arrest of nine Of the chief appraisers
of the custom house staff on charge of
being in collision with many Havana
merchants to swindle the government out
of large sums. 1t is asserted that the
fraud has been practiced for two weeks
at least and probably for a longer period,
and it is believed that thousands Of dol
lars have been corruptly diverted.
Col Bliss obtained evidence enough to
warrant the arrests. and, as he believes,
to insure conviction. The swindle was
accomplished by classification of arti-
cles under which valuable goods went into
cheap classes. Many merchants are likely
to be arrf sted within the next few days
Col. Bliss is being congratulated on all
hands upon the good work of his secret
service
