Nicely Will Soon be Tried.

WASHINGTON Oct. 23.-The trial
OF Charles F. w. Neely for alleged rob
berry of the postal department of the
Island of Cuba has at last begun to as
sumo n shape at Havana that prom
ises at some not too far distant day to
give indications of just what it really
Is. Up to the present the public has
been left to form It's own conclusions
as to the charge against the prisoner,
the evidence In possession of the gov
ernment, and the probable result, with
no data by which to be guided.
The fiscal, who corresponds to our
prosecuting attorney. in so far as he
represents the government has at
tempted to combine his evidence in
| such form that IL can be used against
Nicely and Reeves, as well as Rath-
bone.
The 1st of January. 1899, saw Estes
G.. Rathbone, of Hamilton, Ohio, In
charge of postal affairs in the Island
of Cuba. with the title OF director gen
eral of posts. About that date there
arrived in Havana one Charles +. w.
Nicely, who was strongly recommended
to Rathbone by Perry S. Heath then first
assistant postmaster general, as a
man qualified for and worthy of a
good position. The director general
made Nicely his 'chief financial agent"
and his duties were TO take charge of
all cash that flowed in make all pur-
chascs for the department, and take
an occasional trip to the States to de-
posit the governments share of the
funds in the Treasury
Insular accounts were audited in q
desultory manner for several months.
Attention finally was called to the la
mentally lax methods and the Wash
ington postal authorities took a hand
w. II. Reeves. an empIoye of the
Fourth Auditors Office, was sent to
Havana and became auditor OF postal
accounts. In December of 1899. Col

discovered an apparent shortage of
$4,000. This. Nicely explained, was
then in transit" and Col. Burton was
satisfied.
In April, 1900, another inspection
was ordered. and Neely's arrest follow
ed. Governor General Wood and Post
master General Smith used every pos
sible means to secure evidence against
all who could have been implicated.
The prosecution quickly eentered on

and the others on suspicion
After Congress had passed the ex- |

est Lee Conant, Of the firm of Page a
Conant, to prosecute the cases. There
was Il disagreement and Gen
Wood decided that the cases had pro-
gressed sufficiently to enable him to dc
without the services Of an American
lawyer. 30 he turned them over to the
fiscal, with orders 10 prepare them for
presentation in the Audioncia. or see
ond court of the island Measrs. Rub
ems and Lamar had arranged to come
to the States. hunt up witnesses who
| had left the islands, and take their
| testimony before United States COM
missioners. The fiscal merely prcpar-
| ed series Of intcrrogatorics for carly
| replies. or these, he received very
few, chiefly because tho questions
were formulated in Spanish and trans
lated into English 50 poorly that their
legal value was largely destroyed
Nevertheless. on this evidence the men
are to be tried,
The fiscal has the power To ask the
court to impose "A punishment of his
designation. He viii ask that Rath-
bone and Nicely each be sentenced To
twenty years. imprisonment and
Reeves, to twenty four. ana that each
pay fine of $l50 900, the amount OF
the alleged dcfalcation.
The charge against Rathbone is that
he permitted therefore consented to
and tacitly authorizcd--the cmbczzle-
ment This charge is based on state
ment made by Reeves that. being un-
willing TO enter into CollusiOn with
Necly. the latter told him that the
old man Is in. he knows all about it,"
Reeves says that lie himself knew
nothing Of fraudulent dealings until
October. but admits that he attached

warrants in the preceding May

part of which was "A per diem allow
ance which. II is claimed, he was not
entitled to.
1t must not be inferred that this
trial Is to end soon. The request of
the fiscal as TO punishment amounts to
nothing more than recommendation
There is a mass of evidence 10 be ex-
amined on both sides, and the hear
ing Will he further complicated by the
fact that many witnesses are in the
Philippines, Porto Rico and the Unit

cia has rendered its decision. an appeal |
can be made to the Supreme Court. and |
the whole affair dragged through It's /
wearisome length again
The general opinion in Havana Is |
that should the final hearing occur !
prior to the cessation OF American au- |
thority. Nicely and Reeves will be |
found guilty and kathbonc fined heav- |

Location OF Tucson. Immediately on
the line of the Southern Pacific r. X. in
the Southern part of the Territory OF
Arizona. and on the edge OF the Santa
Cruz Valley, lies the City Of Tucson.
That it was first settled several centur-
les ago has little to do with what we
have to say here, but yet its story full
of adventure and romance lends an in
describablc charm to the old town.
Evidences of Thrift.--Its antiquities
are, however. fast disappearing before
the march Of progress. The adobe walls
that formed the battlemcnts of the old
Mexican Pueblo have crumbled away
and the mission ruins are falling to
pieces. Prominent public buildings,
churches, stores and handsome modern
residences have been erected with bcauti-
full gardens, flowers and shrubbery sur
rounding many of the latter. Old streets
have been graded, new ones laid ont, and
other improvements made which give a
thrifty appearance to the city.
Foreign Element.--Of its population,
however, consisting of about ten thou
sand people, large Mexican element re-
mains, and it's presence gives foreign
air to the community as also do the
adobe buildings in which they mainly
dwell.
Topography location OF the city
in a vast amphitheatre ns it were. sur.
rounded by beautiful mountains, and
resting under the canopy OF the ioveiiest
of blue skies, is beautiful. The splendid
roads in the vicinity make driving and
bicycling an especial pleasure. In every
direction charming mountain views
greet the eve, and at the sunset hour
Gorgeous and respondent colors cover
the western sky. the departing OF the
sun casting shadows upon the tops OF
the mountains which fairly enchant one.
Public Library. has a well
selected library. =,
Hotel Accommodations.-The hotel
accommodations are ample, and for
those prcferring them there are cottages
and rooms for rent at reasonable rates.
Tucson as Health Resort: :--itis how
ever of Tucson as health resort of
which we wish to speak especially here,
and first of all let us say that it IS situat-
ed almost in tie centre of the climatic
belt recommended by the United States
Medical Commission, as the most favor
able region in the United States for those
afflicted with pulmonary ailments.

of Tucson is about ., 400 feet above the
