MORE PHILIPPINE FRAUDS.

The scandal in the commissary de- partment of the army in the Philip pines is augmented by the discovery Of frauds in the postal department of such magnitude that it promises to outdo the Nicely stealages in Cuba.
 Auditor Lawshe has discovered a shortage of $300O0 in the postal funds of the island Auditor Lawshe was said to have reported to the see reary of war the existence of this shortage, with the further nforma- tion that the postal accounts in the Philippines were in very unsatis factory condition and that force Of clerks had been assigned to revise them and straightcn them out, if pos sible. According to the report in cir culation this information had been forwarded by the secretary of war to the postmaster general.
 Postmaster General Smith says that investigation will show every thing correct in the postal depart  ment in the Philippines. but his con, fidence in the integrity of the Philip pine postal service would be much more generally accepted if it were not for the recollection of :he frauds cont mitted in Cuba by Nicely and his ea sociates. for which tley have not yet been brought to trial It is remcm bered, too, that these frauds wero not suspected by the postmaster ger eral, and their discovery followed upon the heels of the publication C. an article written by the postmaster general in which he praised the Cd ban postal service in the highest terms.
