postal affairs of the islands, relieving
Estes &. Rathbone, director OF posts,
who was suspended Saturday, al
though formal announcement of the
suspension was not made until yes.
terday. II had been generally con-
ceded that suspension must come, as
the charges against Mr.. Rathbone OF
criminal negligence have been multi
plying daily. 1t Is asserted that he
has not shown amy indications OF q
desire to have official records kept,
and that he has improperly Endorsed
expense accounts, his own and Ncely's
to surprising degree. During the
Investigations now in progress Mr..
Rathbone will not be allowed to leave
the island.
Mr.. Brstow and the inspectors
have found nothing but chaos
throughout the entire department.
Often no records were kept for days
at a time and to get thorough in
sight calls for the services of every
inspector now here. A considerable
time must elapse before the facts OF
the case will be known. Indeed, 1t Is
doubtful II the muddle will ever be
entirely cleared up.

remedy against trusts was formed
for party and political considerations
and not with any real purpose of deal
ing with the trust subject. "0ur con-

The Cuban Postal Frauds.

Havana, May 19.-W. II. Reeves,
deputy auditor of the island, made a
confession at midnight and gave up
$500 given to him by c. +. W.
Nicely, the arrested financial agent Of
posts at Havana, to perform certain
services the day he left. Those who
know the situation best say that the
confession of Reeves, concerning the
postal frauds, was the only link re-
quired In the chain of evidence, al
though the principal statement he
has made will require investigation
before it can be acted upon.

showered the crews with epithets and
deluged them with advice, A riot call
was sent to police headquarters and
Chief of Police Campbell, taking 20
men, hurried to the spot and told
everybody to move on saw that
they did "move on" and riot number
one was over before it actually
started. The second disturbance oc-
cured few minutes later on Wash
ington avenue, between Thirteenth
and Fifteenth streets. A crowd
of about 1900 people lined both sides
of the street for two squares and be-
gan to ieer and hoot the train crews.
Sergt. Bowen with dozen men
came quickly to the spot and within
ten minutes he had cleared the street
and restored quiet.

remain unchanged to the end. lie

had been taken looking for n confer
cnce between the men and the com
pany. He was positive the men would
win IN the End. The Transit com
pany claims TO have full compile
ment of men, but this is denied by
their own employees. The conductors
on the various lines which were in
operation yesterday said that the
company had Just about onc-half as
many men as went out. Something
over 1900 men went out and the high
est estimate made yesterday by any
of the employees of the men available
for duty was l,S00-the lowest, 1000
ANY number between the two could
be had in reply to a request for III
formation.
The most serious riot OF the day
took place late in the evening at the
intersection Of Tenth street and Wash
inpton avenue. A switch had been
thrown at the street intersection,
aud when nelefontain car loaded
with passengers came along 1t was
thrown on a dead wire and OIL the
track as well When the train crew
started to set things right they were
greeted with showers of stones and
compelled TO abandon the work until
patrol wagon loaded with police
officers appeared on the ground in re-
Spouse to n riot call. They quickly
forced the crowd to dispense, making
several arrests while SO doing.
The Metal Trades council met late
yesterday afternoon and, after long
discussion, decided TO recommend to
NIL affiliated unions that they go ont on
sympathetic strike whenever asked
TO do So. About $500 men are al'
fected by this action. To-day the ex'
ecutjye committees OF the building
Trades council and of the Central
Labor union will meet to consider the
question Of a sympathetic strike. The

ST. Louis, May 2l.-Cars were run
yesterday on five of the lines of the
st. Lous Transit company without any
interference from the strikers or their
friends. The lines which were oper-
ated were Park Laclede, Delmar,
Page and Spaulding avenues. Two
riot calls were sent in TO the police
department during the afternoon, but
the riots were very far from being
the real thing. The first disturbance
was begun by balky horse, who
went on an individual strike at the
corner OF Eighteenth and Chestnut
streets. A large crowd gathered to
watch the progress Of the argument
between the animal and his driver,
and when the horse finally ceded the
point at issue and passed on 1000
people were standing around the cor
ner, utterly at loss for amusement.
As substitute for the horse, the
crowd turned its attention to the crews
of the Laclede avenue cars, which were
passing every few minutes. They
