REVELATIONS
Continued from Page /.

The bail of Hoya and Mascara has
been reduced to $1,000. which has not
yet been furnished
Reeves will be allowed to remain Mt
his own home in charge OF special
agents. During the investigations now
in progress he VIII be called upon daily
to give evidence, and it is also felt that
bail required of him would necessarily
be heavy and probably would not be
obtIinahle. IL is reported here that
Nicely has admitted that his bail de-
post WAS his own money; and a re-.
quest would be made for the seizure Of
mat amount rs belonging to the Postal
Department should il prove that the
funds came out of his own pocket. IT
is also felt that, in the circumstances.
his bail is excessively light. Although
he was first charged with peculations 10
the amount of $4,000. it Is now believed
that he obtained the larger part of the
100000. which is sald TO cover the de-
falcation.
The special agent who is making in
quiries at Bdracoa, reports that the
postmaster there has been acting as
business representative OF Neelv. and
has received from him during the last
few months $1,000 for a cocoanut grove
and coffee plantation. No suspicion
rests upon the Baracoa postmaster.
Messrs. Smith ana Tosncr. the in

afternoon they were in conferences with
General Wood for moe than an hour
