CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES.
Bristow Making Many Changes i'm
Cuban Postal system.


Havana, May 30-Although, in conse-
ouence of the Decoration Day function, the
.post office and the Offices of the postal
department were closed Mr.. Bristow and
the inspectors were hard at work until a
late hour.
Mr.. Brlstow has amalgamated the money
order and registry bureaus under a chief.
thus effecting a reduction of $S,400 In ex-
penses. The appointment bureau was also
reorganized its expenditure being reduced
81 $50. These reforms go into force Friday.
On July ! the bureau of finance will cease
to exist, the salaries paid In that bureau
have aggregated S11,300.
Mr. Brjstow says the work OF reorganiza-
ton and inspection reveals disorder ana
carelessness even greater than had been
supposed. For instance there Is no record
of any kind respecting postal supplies for
many months.
La Lucha, discussing the extravagance
OF Estes G. Rathbone. says:
'tNr. Rathbcne had higher authority
than his own for every cent he expended,
but owing to party loyalty he has kept
quiet under insults. 1t is not likely that
he will submit much ,onger."
The general belief among Cubans, which
expresses itself in the local press, is that
c. f. w. Neely will not be brought back
to Cuba.
Mr.. Rathbone has Informed his friends
that he intends TO leave the island Sat
urday. If the authorities carry out their
original plan he will not be allowed to
leave, but win be placed under arrest a
step which the authorities have hitherto
been unwilling TO take.
