Elk Director Rathbone Likely to Be
Accused Of Completely in the
Fraud.
Found to Re More Deeply Implicated
Than Was at First Made
Public.
Neely's System Of Stealing so Simple
as to Appear in Monthly
Reports.

Havana, June 5.-Ex- Director of
Posts Rathbone made no attempt to
leave Cuba Saturday. II he intended
to make any such effort he must have
realized its folly, for lie was summoned
by the judge OF the cathedral district
who has jurisdiction in the Nicely case,
to appear before him at A o'clock in the.
afternoon to give his testimony. Four
O'Clock is the hour AT which the Ward
line steamers sail. Besides this, MIR.
Rathbone had received a strong inti-.
nation that If he attempted to leave
the city he would be arrested.
Only the disposition of the American
authorities 10 act with the greatest
conservatism in this matter prevents
against Mir Rathbone, as II is said he
could be charged not only With crimi-
nal neglect. but with positive einbeZ-
Element.
Reeves and Rich, in their sworn cor
fessiuns made two Weeks ago. 1t seems.
implicated Rathbone more deeply than
was made public. Both men said iath-
bone had certainly received from $4,000
TO $4,000 from eXTnancial Director
Nicely, and that without Rathhone,s
completely the frauds could not have
been parpetrated These things have
been limited at from time to time. but
the Lucia prints the charges openly
and demands that they be investigated.
Rathbone. according to the testimony
of Reeves and Rich used the money -
raise mortgages in property in ths
United States. The Lueha asks tina;

Bynum,s Nomination Considered.


Washington, June 5.-The senate was
in executive session for three hours, di-
vidiing its time between an extraditon
treaty which has been negotiated re-.
Gently with the republic of Switzerland
and the nomination of Hon. w ID. BY.
mum to be general appraiser Of mer-
5chandisa at New York. The treaty was
ratified without division, after some
slight verbal amendments. 1t Is the
regulation agreement on the subject of
extradition Of criminals and is a mere
modification of the old treaty with
Switzerland. When the treaty was dis
posed of, the Bynum nomination was
taken up, and Its consideration was
pressed by senators who opposed con-
tirmation on the theory that If vote
could be secured confirmation would be
defeated. Senator Fairbanks, as BY.
NUNS friend and chief supporter, OPP
posed consideration, and failing in his
purpose, moved to recommit the nomi-
nation to the committee on finance This
motion war lost by q vote Of 80 to 81.
Mr.. Fairbanks then, at O'Clock, took
the floor and spoke for the remaining
two hours OF the executive session The

We give below some of the EdI-
torlal opinions of the most promin-
ent journals In the land on the
future Of the Island of Cuba. These
opinions are taken from the press of
different political parties and there
fore present both sides of the ques-
ton in an intelligent manner.
The United States, at the beginn-
ing oithe war with Spain, promls-
ed to give Cuba liberty and stable
government. If the Unlted State
is to keep this promise it will not
hasten to leave the people of the
island 10 their own devices. The
facts must ba faced, If good fallh
is so kept, 10 abandon Cuba IN
the near future would be to deliver
the island up to the fate Of Hayu
and San Domingo, with their thirty
revolutions in The last thirty-three
years, or to that Of the Central
American states, with their iOrtv.
one wars and rebelllons IL The lasl
lweniy-elght years. The American
people cannot be hoodwinked into
t'leratiug policy Of scuttle in
Cuba. Agitators may roar, and
sentlmentalist ray vail, but neither
he one class nor the other can alter
the plain facts which will compel
United States to tread the path OF
duty and courage to the end.
