Clerks Arrested.
THOMPSON SIGNS A CONFESSION

Tho Postmaster Says That Havana Once

Used-Auditors Begin an Investigation
OF the Cuban Postal Department..
HAVANA, Cuba (By Cable).-Warrants
we're issued for the arrest Of E. P. Thomp'
son, the Havana Postmaster; W. d. Reeves
Deputy Auditor Of the island, and Edward
Noya and Jorge Mascara, Cuban clerks In
tho stamp department, and all wore lodged
In the vivac, the Tombs OF Havana. Thi:
vas done under the advice OF the Postal
Inspectors.
Before his arrest Postmaster Thompson
confessed the Misrepresentation OF s4s5 and
other irregularities. Thompson made q
sworn statement to one of the Secret Ser
vice officers. He said that In April, 1899
he needed money for his own use and
.o0k $435 from the money order ac'
,oant, depositing his receipt. When
khs next inspection OF the Postal De-
partment by special agents was made he,
being unable to repay the money, ordered
the clerk in charge OF the money order re.
ssipts to withdraw his personal receipt and
substitute $4a5 in cash which had been re-
solved that day aud which would not have
20 be accounted for until the next day.
The Inspection was safely passed when his
porsonal receipt went back and the money
same out again. By this method be sue.
oassfully eluded detection during several
Inspections.
In April, througha q failure to carry out
ibis plan, the discrepancy was discovered.
Il was reported to Director Of Posts Rath-
bone that Thompson had paid the $435,
and nothing further was done. Thomp'
son does not say In his statement where
10 got the money to make the refund, but
he does admit that just at this time ne
and the North American Trust Company
discounted. It Is supposed that he used
this money to make his shortage good.
Thompson also confesses that ne man
ipulated the stamp accounts. He admits
having changed balances without the
knowledge OF Director Rathbone. He say5
this was irregular, but denies that there
vas ANYTHING dishonest in the motives
guiding him. There Is nothing to show
That he acted In collusion with Nicely In
anything. He denies, In fact, any knoWl-
sdSe OF Neely's acts.
The arrest OF Mr.. Thompson caused
great surprise in the city. 1t fs looked
Vpon as the precursor Of many other ar.
rests. General Wood felt, as did the Postal
Inspectors, that it would be better 10 have
Abe suspected persons arrested and to give
them IN opportunity to obtain bail than tc
keep them indefinitely under close super
vision at time when the detectives are
badly needed for other work.

Hummel is to be hanged on June s. Some

physician had doubts OF his living until

Sheriff Miller accordingly arranged a
system Of exercise for the prisoner. Daily
he jumps over a broomstick three feet

forward and backward handsprings and
walks on his hands from one end OF the
corridor to the other. Hummel's appetite
has returned under this treatment and he
