COL. BURTON HERE.
The Officer Who Detected the Alleged
Postal Frauds in Cuba.

Col. George H. Burton of the inspector
generals department arrived in Washing
ton last night and was at the War Depart
ment early this morning to confer with the
officials Col. Burton is the officer of the
inspector generals department who detect
ed the postal frauds in the Cuban service
in connection with which Charles w. Nicely
is now under arrest. The officer came to
this country on the transport Ingalls,, which
arrived at Fort Monroe yesterday, and he
came by train from that point to Washing
ton.
Col Burton is typical inspection officer;
alert, quiet and reserved in manner. Ar
irving at the War Department he called at
the inspector generals headquarters. but
not meeting General Breckenridge. he wend-
ed his way to the Office of Secretary Root,
where he was promptly received. He spent
a half an hour in close conference with
Secretary Root, and then paid his respects
to Adjutant General Corbin and some of
the other officials of the department. Col.
ry evidence touching the postal frauds and
as Secretary Root was not able for lack
of time to go over the papers. he took them
with him to the cabinet meeting Tor 1urther
consideration.
Col. Burton said that he had nothing to
communicate to the press regarding the
matter under investigation. and he felt that
it would be improper for him to talk of the
inquiry at all at this stage, save to the Off
cials of the government. He had been in
structed to report to the Attorney General,
and would wait upon that officer as soon as
he could secure access to him. He did not
know whether he would be required to go to
New York, but If the eXtradition proceed
ings in the Neely case take place there, as
is expected. he supposed his presence would
be necessary to establish the prma facie
case against Neely. Col. Burton wished it
understood that up to the time he left Ha-
vana the inquiry into the postal frauds had
| e6 nv him nd ha tod
States posta, authorities had nothing to do
with it.
1t is expected that the State Department
will take part in the eXtradition proceed
ings in the Neely case, assuming that the
New York authorities are disposed to honor
Gen. Woods demand for the surrender Of
Neely. The actual warrant of surrender
must be issued by the State Department.
and in some instances the department has
undertaken to pass judgment upon the
! question as to whether prima facie case
had been established sufficient to warrant
the granting of the request In view of the
official character OF ths Investigation in

RETURN OF THE DOLPHIN.
Gov. Allen Will Have the Use of the
MayGOwer.

The Navy Department is informed that
the dispatch boat Dolphin, which took
Governor Allen and his party from this
city to Porto Rico, will leave San Juan for
the United States early next week, posi-
bly, Monday. Although there Is no direct
information on that point it is among the
possibilities that Governor Allen will re-
turn on the vessel.
When he left here 1t was his intention to
return in few weeks, but it has been un-
officially stated that he has changed his
plans since his arrival in Porto Rico and
he will remain there longer than was origi-
nally contemplated. In the absence of di-
rect Information from him on that point 1t
is therefore not positively known here
whether or not he will be a passenger on
the Dolphin on her departure for home
next week. The cruiser-yacht Mayfiower
which was purchased from the Goelet es-
tate during the Spanish-Amercan war is
now being prepared at the New York navy
yard for the special use Of the governor
of Porto Rico in visiting the various ports
of that island. She is most luXuriously
appointed craft and will prove a valuable
acquisition TO the governors island estab-
lishment. According to report received
al the Navy Department in regard to the
progress of the work of fitting her out she
will be ready for sea on the 18th of June
She will be put in commission on that date
and there will be no delay in her departure
for San Juan.
The officers and crew of the cruiser De-
troit, which is about to go out of commits
sion at Portsmouth, N. H, for repairs. have
been ordered to the Mayflower.
