CUBAN POSTAL SCANDAL.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gencr-
al In Charge of Postal Affairs
In the Island

Havana, May D.--Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow YESTERDAY
took over the direction of The postal
affairs Of the islands, relieving Estes
u. Rathbone, director OF posts, who
was suspended Saturday, although
formal announcement of the suspen-
sion was not made until yesterday.
Ii had been generally conceded that
suspension must come, as the charges
against MIR. Rathbone of criminal
negligence have been multiplying
daily. 1t is asserted that he has nos
shown any indications of a desire to
have official records kept, and that he
has improperly indorsed expense ac-
counts, his own and Neely',. TO sur
prising degree.
During the Investigations now in
progress, Mr.. Rathbone will not be al
lowed to leave the island. 1t is re-
ported that w. H. Reeves, in his con-
fession, made charges that reflect ser.-
ously upon Mr.. Rathbone's honesty.
Mr.. Bustow and inspectors have
found nothing but chaos throughout
the entire department. Often no rec
ords were kept for days at a time, and
TO get a thorough insight calls for
the services Of every inspector nov
here. A considerable time must elapse
before the facts of the case will be
known. Indeed, it is doubtful if the
muddle will ever be entirely cleared
up. Every letter received must be
gone through and every possible trans
action carefully recorded.
Mr. Bristow has asked Gen Wood -
appoint a disbursng officer for the
present, as he prefers an army man
not knowing the men in the local Of
flee and not beingabe to spare a single
inspector, in view of the onerous in
yestigatiou ahead OF him.
Deputy Auditor Lawshe had Reeves
brought to the Office yesterday, to as
sist. Reeves was in charge Of Special
Agent White, and had an interview
with Gen Wood, which lasted more
than an hour. 1t is understood that
he furnished valuable information
which is helping to clear away certain
matters in doubt, although in few
