Washington, July 27.-Official inves.
tigation of the Cuban frauds, made
by Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Bristow, has resulted in the dec
laration that Director General Rath-
bone is guilty of gross official neg
lect and also of fraudulent practices:
that his guilt is only less than that
of Charles f. w. Nicely and the lat

that deposed Postmaster Thompson
of Havana is involved in the network
of fraud. These findings are made
public in the report of Mr.. Bristow,
just given out. Mr.. Bristow finds
that Neely's embellishments aggre-
gated at least $131,713. and says he
was justified in recommending the re-
moval of Director General Rathbone.
Whether or not the latter was guilty
with Nicely in the entertainments, he
says, there can be no doubt that in
the matter of unauthorized per diem

the keen, glistening knives severed
his legs from his body. The horses
were dashing at breakneck speed.
With each step the hind feet of the
horses fell with a deadly thud on the
head of the helpless man. The horses
soon broke loose from their awful
load and dashed on down the field.

it was ascertained that the breath of
life had passed out. With both legs

For centuries Pharsala, in Southern
Thessaly, has been regarded as the
scene of the famous defeat of Pompey,
which gave the dominion of the world
into the hands of Caesar. According
however, to the Messenger" and the
journal d'Athenes," Capt. Dousmais,
of the Greek Engineers, after an ex-
haustive study of the ancient battle
fields of Thessaly, atfirms that beyond
question the battle between Pompey
and Caesar was not fought at Phar-
