RATHBONE TO BE REMOVED
REPORTS OF FURTHER DISCREPANCIES
IN HIS ACCOUNTS.
MIR. BRISTow'S INVESTIGATION OF CUBAN
POSTAL FRAUDS NEARLY COMPLETED.

Washington June 13-Mr. Bristow the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster-Generalw who has
been in charge of the official investigation into
the Cuban postal frauds will close the investi-
cation and return to Washington in about a
fortnight. He has been in constant communi-
cation with Postmaster General Smith regarding
the developments Of the investigation. and on
arriving in Washington will make a full report
Captain Smith, inspector in charge of the Wash
ington division. who was of the first in
spectors sent to Havana, is now on his way
home, and will report to the Postmaster-Gen-
eral in few days. He is coming home at this
time on account of i'll health, but will submit a
report that is expected TO throw considerable
light the situation.
A report was published to-day that il has been
discovered that the figures of Mr.. Rathbone the
suspended Director of Posts on the postal ex-
penses, even with the lavish outlay alleged, will
not account for the cost of the service which has
been charged against the Cuban treasury Post
master-General Smith was not inclined to dis
cuss the report. but denied any knowledge of
such discovery. He said there had been no
new developments. AT the same time, official
reports all along have emphasized the incom-
pete and chaotic condition of the accounts Of
the service. AS the matter now stands the
postal authorities figure a shortage of SS5.OOO
exclusive of the Sill 900 worth of surcharged
stamps intrusted to Neely for destruction, and
concerning which there is no trustworthy infor-
nation Some of these. it is known were burned.
but the officials have not the slightest idea what
proportion the destroyed stamps bore to the
whole.
The Postmaster-General announced positively
tonight that Mr. Rathbone will not again hold
office in the postal service but would not indi-
cate when his removal would be made who
the next Director of Cuban Posts will be. 1t is
probable that the appointment will be held open
until after Mr.. BriStow returns from Cuba, when
there Will be an opportunity for the fullest con-
sultation Pending such appointment. it is pos
sible that P. H. Bristow. chief clerk of the Cuban
Postal Service, will be designated to take charge
temporarily.
The figures far at hand disclose a condition
of affairs sufficiently serious TO make Mr.. Rath-
bones presence on the island necessary until
the investigation has ended. although, so far as
is known. actual wrongdoing has been fast
ened the suspended Director. When Mr.
Rathbone made preparations to leave the island
about week ago he received quiet intimatiOn
that his presence there could not be dispensed
with under any circumstances. and the develop
ments in the investigation have not called for
any change in this policy.

COMPLICATION REMOVED.
THE EMPRESS DOWAGER WILL NOT
OBJECT TO THE PRESENCE OF
FOREIGN TROOPS IN CHINA.

Washington, June 13.-Definite official infor-
nation was received here this afternoon from
the Foreign Office of one of the most important
Continental Powers stating that the Tsung-li-
Yamen had informed the Minister Of that Power
at Peking that the Empress Dowager would not
object to the presence of foreign troops in Chi
territory. Vague unofficial rumors TO this
effect had been current but the information
ceved here to-day from such a high Of
fetal source as leave doubt that the EN-
press Dowager, who practically constitutes the
Government Of China. had made known this
determination not to object to the presence of
foreign troops.
This change OF front came as distinct surprise
to officials and diplomats. all the reports up
to this time had pictured the Empress Dowager
as intensely hostile TO the foreigners and as the
real spirit behind the Boxers anti-foreign up
rising. This supposed attitude of the Empress
gave much concern to the authorities here and
eventuate In an open declaration by the Govern
ment of China against the presence OF foreign
troops This would have raised new compi
cation placing the foreign forces now advanc-
ing on Peking in the attitude of resisting the
sovereign authority of China over her own ter
ritory. instead of assisting China in suppressing
disorder.
The Empress Dowager's acquiescence In the
plans of the Powers is felt to remove threat
ened complication. and at the same time to give

City Hall. where they were welcomed by Mayor
Hayes. The Mayor made a brief address, in the
course Of which he assured the ENJOYS of the sym
pathy Of the people OF Baltimore with the Beers
in their present struggle, and added that
thing more substantial than sympathy would be
gladly given if the National Government would
only say the word. He reminded them that the
fall of their capital city did necessarily mean
defeat, and recalled the repulse of the British
troops under Ross near this city in 1872 after they
had burned Washington. The ENJOYS responded
with expressions of gratitude for their kind
ception, after which they returned to their hotel,
where public reception held later in the day.
