Of the Cuban Postal Department.

Shortage Of 435 which He Had

Of the Cuban Postal Department.
HAVANA. Cuba (By Cable).-Warrants
were issued for the arrest Of E. P. Thomp.
son, the Havana Postmaster; W. II. Reeves,
Deputy Auditor of the island, and Edward
Moya and Jorge Mascara, Cuban clerks in
the stamp department. and all were lodged
in the vivac. the Tombs Of Havana. This
was done under the advice Of the Postal
Inspectors.
Before his arrest Postmaster Thompson
confessed the transportation OF $435 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
too @435 from the money order ac-
count. depositing his receipt. When
the 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-
cetpts to withdraw his personal receipt and
substitute $4S5 In cash which had been re-
cetyed that day and which would not have
to be accounted for until the next day.
The inspection was safely passed when his
personal receipt went back and The money
came out again. By this method he sue
tcessfully eluded detection during several
Inspections.
In April, through q failure to carry out
this plan, the discrepancy was discovered.
It was reported to Director OF Posts Rath-
bone that Thompson had paid the 9435.
and nothing further was done. Thomp-
son does not say In his statement where
he got the money to make the refund, but
he does admit that just at this time he
drew q note for $3.50, which Nicely indorsed
and the North American Trust Company
discounted. It is supposed that be 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
this was irregular, but denies that there
guiding him.. There Is nothing to show
that he acted in collision with Nicely In
anything. He denies. In fact, any knowl-
sdge Of Neely's acts.
The arrest of Mr.. Thompson caused
great surprise In the city. 1t Is looked
upon as the precursor Of many other ar
rests. General Wood felt, as did the Postal
Inspectors, that It would be better to have
the suspected persons arrested and t. give
them an opportunity to obtain bail than to
Keep them indefinitely under close uper-
vision at q time when the detectives are
badly needed for other work.
