NEELY's HARD LUCK.

Havana, February 3,-The military gov
ernment will demand cash bond from G. r..
w. Nicely. the alleged defaulter. What the
the amount will he has not been stated, M
Neely's lawyer absolutely refuses to deposit
cash fearing that it will be seized.
The charges will aggregate sn embezzle-
ment of over 500, 900 with the possibility of
the amount being increased. The Judge of
the Court Of first Instance is inclined to hold
that Nicely is guilty of stealing surcharged
stamps to the amount of 500. 900, and az the
question of bail at present rests with him, the
cash to be deposited would exceed that fig
ure.
The special counsel for the government
are confident of convicting Neely. apart from
the stamp burning incident. w. II. Reeves
who will probably be the star witness for the
government, and who has been undergoing
almost daily examinations by the po-toffice
inspectors for u month, asserted to-day that
the whole method of Neely's alleged stealing
had been revealed under promise of immunity.

The Omey boom and the Hill boom for

one of the three Democratic member New
England has in the present house of repre-
senatiyes. But who is the engineer of the
David B. Hill boom is not so clear, although
from the systematic way in which it is being
worked up ii suggests the deft of an expert.
The south is an important factor in Demo-
cratic politics. and that Mr.. Hill has not for

TO Mr.. Hill from the Legislature of Texas and
Arkansas to visit those states. The North
is also to be attended to, as is shown by the
dinner to be held in this city February ~,
when Mr.. Hill will be present and, as they
say, 'launch his boom" On the whole, the
Hill boom has the better of it so far, but the
Olney boom may catch up-before 'l9O4.-

Something Interesting Anent
The Missouri Penitentiary,

According to Warden Stark the Mis-
souri, penitentiary is on a fine business ba-
sis. He says:
1.-The penitentisry has not cost the
taxpayers of the state one cent for any
thing during the last two years. and has
made net gain of 5,S90.22. This re-
cord has been made notwithstanding the
fact that by reason of advance in prices of
all supplies used, the expense has been in
creased over $4,000 during the past two
years. Fuel and meat alone cost $1,000
more in 1899 and 1900 than in 1897 and
1S9S.''
