WOOD ON POSTAL FRAUD.
Governor General of Gubn says Ser
vicelsGood IN Island.

Governor General of Gubn Snys scr-
vice lsG Good IN Island.
Havana, May l6.-Governor General
Wood. referring to the postal service of
cuba, says:
speaking generally. the postal serv-
ice Of the island of Cuba is in high
state Of efficiency. The money order
branch is especially useful, but all the
branches have made good records. The
service as a whole should not be blamed
for the faults of a handful of rascals.''
T.. Y. Thompson, the Havana post
mas ter, who has been suspended pend
ing inquiry iEto the methods Of the local
office. came to the city yesterday. ac-
,companied by a special agent, in whose
charge Mir. Thompson has been placed.
He is indignant at the course taken
with respect to him, and he says ne has
friends Who will stand by him. He also
declares that he has u clear axe with
which to fight.
1t Is not asserted that Mr. Thompson
has been guilty of fraud. but mereiyth that
the accounts OF his office show Il short
age of several thousands which calls:
for an explanation. This is not yet
Forthcoming. He had long talk yes
lterday with Gen. Wood. the nature of
which has not been made public, beyond
the fact that Mr. Thompson offered to
l!assist in bringing all the guilty parties
to justice.
The rumor circulated yesterday that
4 the postmaster at Baracoa had been or
would be arrested proves. upon iuves-
| litigation, to have been false. He is
| looked upon merely as u tool of Neeley
and having acted innocently as the.
business agent of Neeley ut Baracoa.
where he is in charge of Neeley,s coffee
and coconnut plantation. II appears
\ he used $2.500 In connection with the
business from the postal funds and
then drew upon Neeley for the amount.
4 AS Neeley's funds here are now in the
hands of the government the draft has
mot been honored. 1t is understood
that there is no intention to arrest this
imam, but he will have to refund the
money and may possibly lose his posi-
| ton. a special agent will arrive at
Baracoa today With orders to institute
a thorough Investigation. He will also
place lien upon all Of Neeley's prop
erty there.
4 The Lucha. the Cubano and the Post
are the only papers that say much re-
garding the postal frauds. The Post
4 blames Mr.. Rathbone for carelessness.
4 The Lucha takes his part. The Cubano
bitterly assails him for "his extrava-
giant regime" The other journals
scarcely allude to the matter editorial
~, merely giving an item or SO each
day. and sometimes not doing even
|that.
Gen. Wood does not desire as yet to
make further arrests. He believes that
lit Is Impossible for the suspected per-
sons to escape. and justice will be
equally we'll served by keeping those
accused under the surveillance Of de-
Il Electives.

PANIC AT 4. KENosHA FIRE.
Three Hundred Non and Children in
a stampede When Hosiery Ware

uOube
kenosha, Wis, May 16.-A portion OF
the plant Of the Chicag o. Rockford hos
siery works was destroyed by fire yes
terday afternoon, entniling a loss of
over SIZE. 600 and causing a panic among
the 800 women and children operatives.
The fire. which started shortly after 4
O'clock, is said to have resulted from
one OF the workmen stepping on
match which had Deen dropped near
some raw material. The spread of the
fire was rapid, and when the alarm was
sounded a panic ensued. The smoke
and flames began to pour thru the vim
dows and men and women and children
rushed in q mass toward the doors. The
weaker ones were roughly handled, but
none We're seriously injured.
Windows We're opened and many of
the women, leaving much of their cloth
ing behind, leaped to the ground. These
We're cared for in the houses of the
lneighborhood.
The only possible fatality is the case
of an employe named Anderson, VINO
was assisting the firemen in manipulat-
ing the hose. when he was thrown to the
ground, sustaining internal injuries.
Firemen in the burning warerooms We're
lo'NNas1'tS"iileS}uy meat saIu S4sloke, Dul We're
revived on being carried to the air.
The loss consists largely of finished
stock. In the warehouse We're 10000
boxes Of hosiery. which are total loss.
This item alone amounts to 100000.
Raw material to the value of s25.0OO was
burned, and the building, which cost
$4,000, is a complete loss. Until repairs
are completed many of the employees
will be without work.
The company is protected by ample
insurance. and will repair the damage
with all possible speed.

Berlin. May 16.--The Berliner Tage-
zblatt takes up editorially the German
South American question. basing its
comments on the Reuter- dispatch
which declares that tho extension of
German colonies in South America re-
taining the language and customs of the
home land is viewed With concern by
the United States.
.If the American government be-
lieves." this Journal remarks, sarcasti-
cally. that Germany's retention OF
these customs and language constitute
a menace. 1t should make an investiga-
tlon at home. Perhaps the best means
of winning the necessary German vote
at the next election for Mckinley would
be to institute grand inqulsltion
against the German language and GUS
toms in the United States.
As Thursday approaches the prospects
,for a lively session OF the reichstag on
that day grow better The socialists
have proposed numerous amendments to
the lex Heinze, and II all are considered
they will beep the body In session until
Christmas. Their purpose in all this,
OF course. 10 obstruction. The members
OF the reichstng have received the dec
laration OF 400 leading men OF Germany
who believe the bill pernicious and pro-
test against its enactment.
The German foreign Office has re-
ceived no confirmation OF the news OF
alleged conflict between Germans and
Belginns in South Africa. The bone
of contention Is the one brought by NJ
lBeernaertsto Berlin for settlement some
time ago.

Kansas City, Mo-. May 16.-The re-
publican convention was called to order
at 9:45 this morning. The report of the
credentials committee was read and
adopted. The committee on permanent
recommended G. p. Wall
bridge, cx-mayor OF ST. Louis, for per-
manent chairman, and Z. S. Shriner for
permanent secretary. The report was
unanimously adopted. Chairman Wal
bridge was escorted to the chair and
accorded warm reception. He spoke
briefly and introduced Nathan Frank, of
st. Louis, chairman Of the committee on
resolutions, who then read the platform,
which was unanimously adopted.
The platform endorses the administra-
ition Of Mckinley; favors maintenance
of the gold standard; favors extension
of self government to all people in the
new possessions as soon as they demon
strate their ability to exercise 1t. In re-
gard to trusts such legislation is de-
manded, both national and state. as will
effectively protect the public from
these evils. Favors legislation favora-
bile to merchant marine; endorses the
st. Louis fair in 1903; condemns the
democratic congressman who failed to
support the Nicaraguan canal bill; the
state administration is denounced for
alleged extravaganza.

says: The enemy evacuated Helpma-.

rear guard of about a thousand men in

evacuate Natal and concentrate for the

Contract Awarded to G. W. Bowling
For High School Building.

At the adjourned meeting OF the
Board OF Education held last evening
at the Office OF C. r. Richardson, the
contract for the erection OF the, new
High School building was awarded to
Charles w. Bowling at his bid Of $685.
SS9.
The bid was for pressed brick
structure with Bedford stone front, ,ac-
cording to the plans and specifications
prepared by. the w. b. O'Neill Co.,
architects, and was slightly less than
the estimated cost, $4,000.
The. Redmond & Gibson bid of $780,
900 for an all stone building was look
ed upon with favor by the Board, but
upon the advice of City Solicitor Rich
ards 1t was rejected. He held that the
bid was not legal, owing to the fact
that the advertisement did not call for
bids on structure entirely OF stone,
The bid of P. @. Snrake was also re-
jected owing to the clause in which
the bidder offered TO make reduction
OF $2,700 If he were allowed the old
building.
Mr.. Dowlings bid includes the heat
ing and plmubing OF the building. All
members present, Curtis, Dye, Meis-
enhelder, Richardson and Willis, ,>voted
in favor of accepting the bid.
After the contract was awarded, the
President and Clerk were authorized
to execute the same and arrange with
Mr.. Bowling concerning the bond and
amount to be retained to secure the
faithful performance of the contract.
The Clerk was instructed to return
the certified checks sent in with the
bids and the meeting adjourned. The
next meeting of the Board will he held
Monday evening.
