TBY CARLE TO THE TRIBUNE.l


London, May 10 G a. m.-No official news has
yet been received with regard TO Sir Redvers
Buffers move in Natal. and the accounts from
correspondents at the front leave a good deal TO
the Imagination telegram 10 The News
says that operations were completely successful
but II must for the present remain doubtful
whether the Boer force that was defeated was
a formidable body or merely rear guard con-
tingent left TO observe General Buffers move
ments after the main army had withdrawn. It
does not appear from any report yet 10 hand
that General Butler had more than portion of
his force with him.
The Express's' correspondent in Cape Town
says that Mafeling probably relieved on
Sunday or yesterday, but owing TO delays in
communication the news can hardly arrive in
London before tomorrow. Definite intelligence
as TO the situation of the garrison and the prog
ress Of the relief column is however altogether
lacking
The situation in the Free State is apparently
unchanged. but General Rumble appears to be
clearing the district east OF Thaba Nchu, where
the Boer forces have not yet proved formidable.

day for Bera. l. N. F.

MAY SUSPEND RATH BONE.
THE FOURTH ASSISTANT POSTMASTER
GENERAL. ORDERED TO CUBA
TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE INVESTIGATION
INTO POSTAL FRAUDS

Washington. May 1.-THE Postmaster Cen
eral after a protracted interview with the
President to-day. amour ced that Joseph L..
Bristow, the Fourth Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral will proceed TO Havana next Wednesday to
take charge Of the postal affairs of Cuba. The
Postmaster General declined to say whether or
the Director General of Posts. Mr. Rath-
bone, would be suspended. 1t is said, however,
that the fact that Mr.. Bristow will assume
these duties does not necessarily indicate that
Mr.. Rathbone will be relieved of all connection
with the service. Mr. Bristow outranks the
Director of Posts, and the latter might operate
as a subordinate, though on this point no state
ment is vouchsafed The letter directing the
Fourth Assistant to proceed to Cuba is dated
May II
Mr.. Bristow will remain in Cuba throughout
the pending investigation and probably until
the service is reorganized He would in any
event have sIDervision of the inspectors con-
Quoting the examination of postal affairs in
Cuba, and his transfer to Havana will bring
him into closer touch With their operations
Further than the announcement that Mr.. Bris-
tow would go to Havana. the PostmasterG Gen
eral said there were no new developments in the
situation. He said that there had not been an
ntimation that there had been any wrong
doing in the postal affairs Of either the Philip
pine Islands Porto Rico. In Porto Rico the
Director of Fosts, Captain Elliott. a retired
naval officer He had no experience in postal
some mistake, but the entire system was con-
Quoted in an exemplary manner. In Cuba the
management had been in the hands of expert
postOffice emplOye, and ii supposed there
could be nothing wrong there. The situation in
Porto Rico and Cuba, up to the beginning of
this month, was precisely the same, but in the
of the former both the Military and Postal
authorities had been honest.
Mr.. BristoW was appointed Fourth Assistant
at the beginning of the present Administration
He is a native of Kentucky but for many years
lived in Kansas from which State he ap
pointed. He had been engaged in newspaper
work. and for time private secretary to
Governor Morrill, of Kansas. The chief clerk
Merritt o. Chance, will be acting Fourth AS
sistant in the absence of Mr. Brstow.
Respective, rumors that similar irregularities
to those develODed in Cuba have occurred in
the other inSular possessions which mill
tary jurisdiction has been extended, It Is de-
clared positively at the War Department that,
while the inspectors have been working
stantly to improve the administrative service.
they have not found a single case involving
moral turpitude.

MORE ARRESTS ARE LIKELY TO FOLLOW

MORE ARRESTS ARE LIKELY TO FOLLOW
INVESTIGATION OF THE SERVICE.
Havana. May 1.-THE extent of the postal
frauds is far greater than originally expected.
The frauds seem to include the local office at
Havana and other offices in the island, and also
outside places which have been used for the
sale of of the OLD issue Of stamps that were
ordered destroyed
The result of the investigation at the local
postifilce is the suspension of Postmaster Thomp-
son. who installed in April of last wear
He will remain at his house for the present
Mr.. Sheridan will fill his place for the present
Moya and Mascara, stamp sellers in the main
office, have also been arrested, and further ar
rests are expected tomorrow AS many as six
others have been placed under the closest super
vision and they will be arrested soon as their
services be spared.
Messrs. Reeves and Reynolds, the auditors OF
the Postal Department. are still under arrest
at their own rooms, in charge of detectives.
Special quarters Will however be prepared in
some fortress where all the prisoners connected
with the frauds will be taken soon as ar
rested.
f. q. Rathbone desires to say that there Is
no truth in the report, circulated in the United
States, that there is friction between the mill
tary authorities here and the Postal Depart
ment. and that on the contrary, the most COM
plete harmony prevails between General Wood
and himself, consultations taking place between
them daily. He also says he does not consider
1t proper in the present circumstances to give
out interviews for publication.
It appears that the frauds ramihed in almost
every possible direction even the rented boxes
having been made a source of illegtinate gain.
The Cubans seem to he pleased at at the news.
They declare that the Americans no longer
boast Of superior honesty in Government
plOyes.
