How to Relieve Embarrassment

Gov. Smith, tits said, is embarrassed by the
large number of persons who have expressed
willingness to serve on his staff. If these
applicants only desire ornamental titles the
Govern or might accommodate all by ap-
pointing one staff with the understanding that
they will resign in three months, then another
staff with the same understanding, and 81 on.
fthe applicans are really blood-thirsty and
war-like, the Governor should advise them TO
assist the Beers, who are making a noble
struggle for independence and liberty just as
our Revolutionary fathers did.

Sympathy for the Beers.

1t is now said that the Republican national

If the Republicans have any sympathy for
the Beers, why do they not let the resolutions

have been smothered every time attempts
have been made to do so, aud The people will

Relieved from Duty-The Postal System
Throughout the Island Discovered to be
Honeycombed With Dishonest Officials.
HAVANA, May 1.-THE extent OF the postal
frauds is far greater than what was originally
expected. Besides taking in the postal de-
partment the frauds seem to include the local
office at Havana and various other offices
throughout the island, and also TO have ex-
tended to outside points. which have been
used for the sale of some of the old issue of
stamps that were ordered destroyed.
The result of the investigation at the local
postoffice is the suspension of Postmaster
Thompson. who was installed in April of last
year. He will remain at his own house for
the present. Moya and Mascara, stamp sell
lers in the main office, have also been arrest
ed, and further arrests are expected tomorrow.
As many as six others have been placed under
the closest supervision, and they will be ar
rested as soon as their services can be spared.
As a matter of fact, if they were all to be sud
denly relieved of duty, it wouid not be pos
sible to carry on the postal department of
Havana.
Messrs. Reeves and Reynolds, the auditors
Of the Postal Department, are still under ar
rest at their own rooms, in charge of detec-
prepared in some fortress, where all the
prisoners connected with the frauds will be
taken as soon as arrested
TodAy's arrests aud the suspension OF Mr..
Thompson did not take place until after dark,
and consequently these new features OF the
case are not generally known throughout the
city this evening; but there is percepuble
excitement at the postothce, where no one
knows who may be the next to be singled out.
Mr.. Sheridan will temporarily fill Mr..
Thompson place. 1t appears that the frauds
rami6ed in almost every possible direction;
even the rented boxes have been made a
source of illegitimate gain.
Every additional revelation increased the
amazement Of the Americans here, The
Cubans seem to be immensely pleased. They
declare that The Americans can no longer
boast in Cuba Of their superior honesty when
in government employ.
General Wood devoies several hours daily
to postal affairs, hearing the reports Of special
agents and comforting with Mr.. Rath
bone and Others having any knowledge Of the
matter As vet il i impossible to say how
many persons will be implicated.

The telephone has superseded the tel

Fe. The company has now in opera
ton on the Chicago, eastern and mid
die divisions a private telephone sys-
tenn connecting the majority Of the
block signal stations. and the passage
OF trains in and out of the various
blocks is now scheduled from operator
to operator by telephone instead of tele-
graph as heretofore
However. the management OF the
road believes in the telephone as a
means of communication in railroad
work only to a limited extent Simul-
taneouS with the establishment of the
system an order was issued prohibiting
absolutely the use of the telephone for
the transmission of train orders
The question of substituting the tel
ephone for the telegraph in railroad
work is one that is now being earnestly
considered by railway managers The
Pennsylvania officials have gone so far
as to supersede the telegraph on a por-
ton of the system with the telephone,
and so far the experiment is said to
be a success. 1t is believed by some
mana gers that the danger of mistakes
can be greatly Iessened by the use of
the telephone. The only difficulty TO be
considered in the matter Is the fire.

The capacity of the cars is about four

be used in the new construction now
