the Postmaster General at which they received
their final instructions and all late information

their investigation as complete and thorough
possible, and to exert every effort possible TO
ascertain the extent of the frauds and the names
OF the men guilty. The Postmaster-General said
tonight that aside from this conference there
had been no fresh developments in the matter.

ceived from the island. The Director of Posts,
Mr. Rathbone. had not been relieved Mr.. smith

Washington, May 13.-"The Post tomorrow
will say:
An order will be issued to-day relieving from
duty T. g. Rathbone, Director-General or Posts
in Cuba, under whose administration the fraudS
recently disclosed have occurred. He is neld
responsible for extravaganza in the department
and for the loose business methods in the con-
duct of postal affairs on the island, resulting IN
an embeZzlement of funds estimated at SlUO,-

any completely in these frauds but the Post
master-General and Secretary of War are con-
WINGED that his unftness for the highly respon-
sible position has been clearly tablished. The
order relieving him may take the form OF sus-
