General Hunter reports that he occu-

rendered the enemy's position practi-
cally untenable. a six-inch gun was
found most useful.

after ,the balance was struck. Accord
ing to the figures at command here, how
ever, there is an apparent discrepancy
of SCI, 1854 between the amount of postal
money order funds as given by Mr.. Nee
ley and the amount due the Postoffice
Department.
WE'RE CERTIFIED CORRECT.
director of Posts Rathbone, on April
10Th, directed that a statement be pre-
pared of the money order and postal ac-
counts of the Bureau OF Finance up to
the 18th of April. On April 2Sd he direct
ed that further examination be made
and the resulting report indicated that
Neeley's accounts were correct and were
SO certified by the agents.
It is apparent that an examination or
his accounts were made in detail, as it Is
stated that there was ''S1.09 in a tray.
Since establishment of the money-order
system between the United States and
Cuba there has been at all times balance
due the Postoffice Department. and there
is now due approximately S24,0oO.
SOME FRICTION.
The ostmaster-General, Emory Smith,
was asked to-day as to status OF the
postal system in Cuba, He said: General
Rathbone has charge of affairs there. he
made appointments and has administrative
authority. The funds are passed to the
military authorities, who have charge OF
the finances of the island. The revenues
of the possoffices are for the benefit OF me
people of Cuba. II there should be a de-
ficit 1t would be made up from other
moneys collected on the island. All postal
officials are paid out Of the revenues OF
the island''
It was stated by department official
to-day that for some months past there
had been considerable friction between
Genera! Wood and Director Rathbone as
to the administration Of the postal SER
vice General Wood, it is said, in some in
stances desired to make appointments ii
the service which Director Rathbone con-
sidered an infringement of his rights.
At to-day's Cabinet session the ques-
ton arose as to whether the United States
or Cuba was responsible for the amoul.'
of the defalcation. It seemed to be the
opinion of all the members present tina,
as Neeey was appointed by the United
States, and that this government is acting
in a sense as trustee, il IS responsible
for the shortage, and can proceed agains
Neeley's bondsmen.
1t was practically settled, too, tha
Neeley would be taken back to Havana foi
trial before a civil tribunal.
It is said that the prisoners counsel vii
contest any effort to return him to Ha.
vana, but it is the opinion of the Attorney
General that it can and should be done.
