CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS
POsTOFFICE INSPECTOR GREGORY
CONTINUES HIS TESTIMONY.
Tells of Discrepancies in the Accounts
of NeeIy-RathbOne's Reports
Did Not Agree.

HAVANA, Jan. 2S.-During the trial of
the charges growing out of the Cuban pos
tai frauds, held here to-day, Inspector
Gregory continued his testimony. He said
that, according to the report of Inspectors
Sullivan and Leatherman, there were only
957, ,1S4 surcharged stamps on hand May 26,
1899, or So, ,4O4 stamps less than were cred
tied to the account of burned stamps Sept.
IL. 1899 Gregory said this difference was
probably 10000 as no record was kept Of
cash sales and as no more stamps were
received during the interval from the
United States.
Regarding the surplus cash found by
Sullivan and Leathernan May 20. Gregory
testified that c. +. w. Nicely was not
charged with about 5000 in various items
and that consequently there should have
been deficit instead of a surplus. Gregory
said that Estes q. RathbOne made two re-
ports. one to Gen. John r. Brooke former
Governor General of Cuba, and the other TO
the postmaster general June 80, 1899. and
that the figures in these two reports did
not agree.
SenOr Zayas, cross-examining Gregory.
attempted to show that IL was impossible
from the records TO arrive at reliable fig
ures regarding the stamps sold. Senior
Lanuza, counsel for Rathbone. also tried
TO fix the responsibility of the miscella-
neOus accounts upon Reeves. whom, he
said should have discovered the errors
and the items paid without vouchers.
