THAT Havana post-office embezzling
affair is a most deplorable and humiliat-
ing occurrence. 1t has been the hope OF
the administration and of the American
people that we might be able to give the
Cubans a sample of uniformly honest
and efficient government. With but few
and slight exceptions this has been &C.
complished. Honorable and able men
have administered the islands affairs.
In the post-office department. between
the military and civic authorities, there
seems TO have been All opportunity for
rascality, and unfortunately the ~rascals
were found, developing in an unexpected
quarter. This exception in a clean and
able administration of the islands affairs
is to be regretted; and the hope and
desire is general that the rascals may be
punished promptly and adequately.
