Today it developed that the plot III

were to be thrown from the Escoltat

Captain Morrison, who commands the
troops IN the most turbulent district Of

HAVANA, Jan. IA sensation was
caused in customhouse circles, and il
soon spread over the entire city, by the
suspension from duty of Senior Arturo
Arostegui, deputy collector. on account
of the recent frauds by appraisers,
through which, judging from the in
crease of receipts during the last few
days without any apparent increase in
the amount of shipping, the govern.
ment must have been robbed daily for
some time of from $4,000 to $50. 900.
1t is not believed, however, in official
circles that Senor Arostegui has been
guilty of any irregularities, although
sufficient evidence has been laid before
Collector Bliss to warrant his suspen'
sion, pending investigation.
The more the government representa-
tives look into the frauds. the worse
they appear to be. Apparently large

there were 203.51 miles of railroad built

it being in 1892, when 1857 miles were
