FRESH DEVELOPMENTS IN HAVANA
NEELY'S PROPERTY TAKEN FOR THE
VERNMENT-OTHERS UNDER
SUSPICION.

Havana. May S.-The postal frauds have been
the principal topic of conversation in Havana
to-day. although as yet the papers have scarcely
alluded to the matter. The Department of Posts
admits shortage of $4,000 but further inves-
tigation has brought to light the fact that in
July of last year the recegts showed a falling
off of about $4,000 from the average Of the
months previous. and that this shortage has
continued ever since. 1t appears that about that
time the Director of Posts. Mr. Rathbone. gave
orders for the destruction of S411 900 worth Of
surcharge stamps on account of the issue of a
new stamp. This work of destruction was left
in the hands of Charles F. w NeeIy and his as
sistauts, but it is believed that none OF
those stamps were destroyed. the theory being
that they sent out with the new stamps
The Havana receipts amounted to about
$4,000 month, according to the books but
the other offices of the island showed only So OO0
or $4,000. amounts palpably absurd 1t is aston
shing that the shortage was not discovered be-
FORE because the receipts at Santiago or Matan-
zas alone should amount TO nearly ~. 600. Abso-
lutte proof that something has been wrong is
shown by the fact that Auditor Barrie reports
the receipts Of the island for the first five DAYS
OF May as aggregating $4,000. Should this aver
age be continued it would mean total of more
than $4,000 for the month.
That others than Neely are involved is i'm
plictly believed, although the evidence as yet is
not sufficient to justify their arrest Neverthe-
less should certain persons attempt to leave the
island. they would be taken into custody
Neely has made investments here and in other
parts of the island, having as a partner a postal
empoye. CarrydOn Rich. who now holds the
power of attorney for Neely. was appointed
yesterday to fill Neely's place as chief financial
agent of the Havana postofice but to-day the
appointment was suspended
The military authorities know little regarding
the matter beyond what Colonel Burton. the
Inspector-General. reported. for the Department.
of Posts has been virtually independent of the
military authorities. and has reported directly
to the Postmaster General The INSPECTOR
General has merely made a quarterly inspection
