CHAOS IN CUBAN POSTOFFICE
Accounts in Terrible Condition-Seri
Gus Charges Against Mr.. Rathbone.

Havana, May 21.-Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow today took
over the direction of the postal affairs
Of the island. relieving Estes G. Roth
bone, direction of posts, who was sus-
pened Saturday, although formal an
nouncement occurred only today. Sus-
pension had beeen generally expected
as the charges against MIR. Rathbone
of acts Of criminal negligence have
been multiplying daily. 1t is asserted
that he has not shown any indications
of a desire to have official records kept
and that he has improperly endorsed
expense accounts, his own and Neely's
to a surprising degree.
During the investigation now in pro-
greSS Mr.. Rathbone will not be allow
ed to leave the island. 1t is reported
that w. H. Reeves, in his confession,
made charges that reflect seriously
upon Mr. Rathbone's honesty.
Mr.. Bristow and the inspectors found
nothing but chaos throughout the en-
tire department. Often no records
were kept for days at a time and to
get a thorough insight calls for the
services of every inspector now 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 transaction careful
ly recorded.
Mr.. BriStoW has asked General
Wood to appropriate disbursing Off
Ger for the present, as he prefers an
army man, not knowing the men in the
local office and not being able to spare
a single inspector, in view Of the oner-
our investigation ahead of him.

what the Result in Vermont


Looking over the figures he
table, iC appears that the DEM Ptic
presidential candidate has new pen
elected when the Republican pl Eity
in Vermont exceeded %, 500. 6he
other hand, except in 1896, tEw Re-
publican party has not in the last %
years, in a presidential election, won
a sweeping victory. The only year
in which the Republican plurality ex-
ceeded $4,000 was in 1896. If, there
fore, in to-day's election the Republi-
can plurality shall fall below $500,
the election OF MIR. Bryan will be tore
Swallowed, unless, as in 1861, a decs-
i've change of feeling shall take place
between September and Novembe
If the Republican plurality shall ex-
coed %, 500, but shall fall short of
$4,000, it will indicate that Mr.. Me-
Kinley will probably be elected, but
that the contest will be close and
more or less uncertain until the end
II the Republican plurality exceeds
$4,000, it will show that throughout
the North the Republican are strong
er than they have been at any other
presidential election in the history of
the party, that of 1896 alone except
ed, and that, consequently, the pros
poets for a decisive triumph are rhe
brightest. -Baltimore Moraias Her
