RATHRoNE'S FIGURES WRONG.
Said They DO Not Account for Cost
of the Service.

of the Service.
Washington. June 13.-Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, who has been
in charge of the official Investigations into
the Cuban postal frauds. will close the
investigation and return to Washington in
about fortnight.
He has been in constant communication
with Postmaster General Smith regarding
the developments of the investigation and
on arriving in Washington Will make a
full report Capt. Smith, inspector in
charge of the Washington division, who
was one of the first of the inspectors dis
patched to Havana, is now on the way
home from Havana and will report to the
Postmaster General in few days.
A report was published to-day that it
has been discovered that tho figures OF
Mr.. Rathboue. the suspended director of
posts. on the postal expenses. even with
the lavish outlay alleged. viii not account
for the cost of the service which has been
| charged against the Cupan treasury.
Postmaster General Smith. when seen
tonight, was disinchned to discuss the
report, but denied any knowledge of such
|
new developments. At the same time off,
cial reports all along have emphasized the
incomplete and chaotic condition of the
accounts of the service. AS the matter
now stands the postal authorities figure
on shortage of 5000, exclusive of the
S411,00O worth of surcharsed stamps in
trusted to Neeley for destruction and con-
cerning which there is no reliable informa-
ton.
The Postmaster Geenral announced pos
itively tonight that Mr.. Rathbone will not
again hold Office in the postal service, but
would not indicate when his removal
would be made or who the next director OF
Cuban posts viii be. 1t is probable that
the appointment will be held open until
Mr.. Bristow's return from Cuba.
The figures 80 far at hand disclose a
condition of affairs sufficiently serious to
make Mr. Rathbone's presence on the ISL
and necessary until the investigation is
over though so far as has been given out
no actual wrongdoing has been fastened
upon the suspended director.
