RATHBONE MUST NOT LEAVE.
Notified by the Authorities that He
Must Remain in Cuba-Reeves Gives
Bail.

Havana, June 2.-Rumors having
reached the authorities that Mr.. Rath-
bone intended to leave the island of
Cuba, he was notified that his pres
ence was absolutely required in Ha-
vana until the investigation into the
postal affairs had been completed. The
postal officials now in charge state
there are most cogent reasons why
Mr.. Rathbone should remain in Cuba,
even if they were compelled to resort
to force to keep him here. 1t is under
stood that additional important facts
connecting the officials with postal
frauds have been brought to the ears
of the authorities who, however, wish
to avoid even the appearance Of harsh
ness in dealings with these cases.
Mr.. Rathbone explicitly denies any
intention of departing from Havana.
but Notwithstanding this, a
was issued by one of the judges for
him, which was made returnable at
the time the steamer Havana sailed.
The principal reason for the issuance
of the summons was to obtain d
ath MI. Rathbone's statement regard
ing Nicely. The proceedings were
held in secret, only the judge, the
clerks, the attorneys and Mr.. Rothbone
being present. What occurred at the
hearing is not yet known.
w. H. Reeves has been released on
bail of 81, 500, that sum having been
deposited. The sum of $1,000 was ca
bled to him from the United States
his morning.

elected Boscoe Hindman, of Louis
vile, commander-in-chief, and after

The motion to have only the confed-
crate flag in the Sons of Veterans d.
vision of the parade which the veter-
ans yesterday refused to lay on the
table, did not come up, the delegates
by common consent allowing the flag
question to be settled by the commit

ment that the incident should be quiet

is the decline in religion among the

papers to write about religion. By the
way, DR.. Buckley makes more speeches
