THE CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn II to

WASHINGTON, May 12-Assistant Sec
retary Meikeljohn has apparently been
charged with the direction OF the prosecu-
ton of the inquiry into the alleged Cuban

tary Roots private office for a secret con-
ference with Deputy Auditor Lawshe
head OF the postoffce inspectors who have
been detailed by Postmaster General
Smith to investigate these Cuban postal
frauds. Beyond the fact that participants
are carefully examining the data brought
from Havana by Col. Burton, nothing
could be cleaned as to the nature OF the
proceedings.
Acting Secretary Meikeljohn received an
express package today from Gen. Wood
at Havana. containing an application for
the extradition of Neely. Mr. Meikeijohn
sent the document to the department OF
justice for the action Of the attorney gen.
eral, who undoubtedly win cause its pres
entation to the governor of New York
without delay.
At the conclusion OF the conference at
the war department this afternoon 1t was
announced that Assistant Secretary Meik-
eljohn had appointed Abram l.. Lawshe,
deputy auditor for the postofice depart
ment, to be assistant auditor for auditing
the accounts of the departmental post
offices OF Cuba in place of MIR. w. H.

the result of the investigation OF the al
legged frauds.
Mr.. Lawshe, accompanied by Mr.. Nettle-
ton. an expert accountant, win leave Mon
day for Havana to make thorough in
vestigation OF the Cuban postal service.
II is declared TO be the purpose of the ad-
ministration to bring 10 justice every per-
son who may be found to have been con-
nected In any way with the frauds upon
the postal revenues.

Far from the Hawaiians disliking the
negro, the Hawaiians make no objection
to them What they dislike is to be
classed as negroes, because they feel
that the negro on the Mainland is re-
garded as belonging to an inferior race.
But to the negro per Sc there is no OBJ
lection, as witness many negroes who
have lived and are living here, and also
the immense personal popularity of the
Hogan minstrels here. AS was pointed
out in these columns the success or fail
ure of negroes on these Islands de-
ponds entirely on the class of negroes
brought here, and that will depend upon
the persons who select the laborers for
their enterprises.

amount of work to get through all the

extra session, which has been decided
upon, will no doubt do much to clean up
the calendar The various circuit judges
will also get to work as soon as posi-
BILE, Judge Edipgs will soon be off to

a pity that the delay in the commissions
occasioned a delay in the dispensation

The establishment of the grand jury
system in the Territory will change our
legal procedure some. Many cases
which now come into court for trial,
will never come into court at all, be-
cause the grand jury will not find a
true bill. This is evidently In favor OF
the accused. The necessity of all jurors
thoroughly understanding English and
the doing away with Hawaiin juries in
Hawaiian cases, are also innovations
which will bring about different results
from what have been reached in the
past. Few people seem to have realized
that these changes are really radical
and that in this direction, as we'll as in
others, we have made distinct step in
advance.

trades which employ Aslatic labor sub

be, protect American labor.

AN OLD STORY.
Again Reported That Kenosha Colder
Had Been Shot for Desert1on.

Again Reported That Kenosha Colder
Had Been Shot for Desertion.
A letter was received from one of the
Kenosha soldiers in the Philippines
yesterday in which the writer referred
to the fact that man from this city
by the name of Harrison had been re-
Gently shot at Manila for deserving
from the United States troops to the
forces of Againa1do.
The story bears all the ear marks of
an old report published some time ago,
which proved to be absolutely false.
The same story is told of Harrison
marrying a Philippine woman and de-
serting to the cause of the insurgents.
Later he was captured in the trenches
of the enemy.
The writer of the letter seemed to be
well informed as to the facts in the
case, but it is impossible to find any
Kenosha man in the Philippines by the
name of Harrison, and the close resem-
b1ance to other fake stories and mes
sages sent out leads us to believe that
the whole story is canard.
