ATLANTA, Ga, May s.-President w. V.
Powell, of the Order of Railway Teleg-
raphers, has issued an order which went
into effect at IL a. m. to-day formally dis
continuing the strike of the Southern Rail-
way telegraphers declared April II, 1900.
In his statement President Powell an
nounces the decision of the officers of the
order regarding the strike. He states that
the telegraphers can apply to the South
crn for employment without being consid-
cred by the order as scabs. but advises
them not to do so. He says: ut is to be re-
gretted that some of the purposes for which
the strike was inaugurated are not entirely
successful. Had all the membership Of the
organization and those who agreed TO sup
port it in this struggle remained loyal to
the cause it would have been possible to
give to you the notice of complete vic
tory"
President Powell asserts that while the
strike is ended the boycott feature on the
Southern will be continued by the orders
1t is stated at the strikers headquarters
that many telegraphers formerly employed
by the Southern are seeking positions on
Western roads and some are entering
other employment. The daily strike edition

Nationalist newspaper classed as sensa-

claims to have discovered the real reason
for the friendly attitude of Emperor Will

the German Emperor's belief that war be-

possible, and that in view of such con-

calls the friction caused by the action of
the German naval commander, Admiral

opposition of the United States to En-
peror Williams dream of founding great
er Germany in Brazil and Argentina is re-
sponsible for the coldness in the relations
between the two countries. 1t concludes
'war between America and Germany is
therefore, not impossible in the near future

hostile intentions towards England that
Germany Is making earnest efforts to in

aim Of German policy is to prevent an
Anglo-American alliance. There is the Sc

England believes in a coalition of the pow

HAVANA, May S.-The postal frauds
have been the principal topic of conversa
tion in Havana to-day, although, as yet,
the papers have scarcely alluded to the
matter. The department of posts admits
shortage of $4,000. but further investiga-
ton has brought to light the fact that, in
July. of last year, the receipts showed
falling OF of about $4,000 from the average
of the months previous, and that this
shortage has been kept up ever since. 1t
appears that about that time Director of
Posts Rathbone gave orders for the de-
struction of sfi1.000 worth of surcharged
stamps. on account of the issue Of a new
stamp. This work of destruction was left
in the hands of Charles F. w. Neely and
his assistants, but IL is now believed that
none of those stamps was destroyed. the
theory being that they were sent out with
the new stamps. The Havana receipts
amounted to about $4,000 a month. accord
ing to the books. but the other offices of
the island showed only $1,000 or $1,000.
amounts palpably absurd. II Is astonishing
that the shortage was not discovered be-
fore, because the receipts at Santiago or
Matanzas alone should amount to nearly
$4,000. Absolute proof that something has
been going wrong Is shown by the fact that
Auditor Barrie reports the receipts OF the
island for the first five days of May as ag-
gregating $1,000. Should this average be
continued. II would mean a total of more
than $4,000 for the month.
That others than Neely are involved is
implicitly believed. although the evidence,
as yet. is not sufficient TO justify their ar
rests. Nevertheless. should certain persons
attempt to leave the island they would be
taken into custody. Neely has made in
vestments here and in other parts of the
