HAVANA. Jan. 1S.-.Ths cross exam
ination Of Dstes G. Rathbone, ex-di.
rector general Of posts Of Cuba, at yes.
terday's session of the court which IL
trying the charges growing out of the
Cuban postofiice fraud brought out no
new facts. Counsel for w. H. Reeves,
exdeputy auditor for Cuba, who is al
no on trial, endeav0red to nnt the re-
sponslbility on Rathbone for the neg
lect on the part Of Cuban postrnasters
to render monthly statements. Rath-
bone insisted that 1t was Reeves duty
10 report irregularities Of this kind.
c. +. w. Neely was called and exam
lned by the fiscal. Nicely said that he
received his appointment from Wash
ington and that Rathbone had made
him chief for the finance bureau of the
Cuban postoffice department after the
organization of the Cuban postal serv-
Ice. He said that when the stamps
were burned Il certain amount was re-
served for collectors, but that he did
not know how many, and that after
The sales to collectors fell off he gave
the surcharged stamps to Senor Moya,
a Cuban stamp clerk in the Havana
postotiice, instructing Moya to sell
them. He asserted he took the money
resulting from these sales and put it In
the vault. Neely made no record of
these stamps. nor did Moya make out
acquisitions for them.
In answer to the iiscal's question as
to why he had made no such record
Nicely explained that in so far as the
new issue of stamps was concerned
records We're kept in his Office of the
denominations sold In order that he
might be in a position to know what
denominations 10 order from Washing
ton to rcplete the stock. AS for the
matter of balancing the account, the
stamps he turned over to Moya had no
bearing thereon.
Neely said he was charged with the
whole amount of the value of the
stamps delivered and that these he
must account for either in stamps or
money when called upon to do So For
this reason. he said. it made no differ
pncc whether these Moya sales were
recorded. Instead of the stamps, he
said, he had put the money in the
vault.
Ncrly was confronted with Reeves,
who reiterated his statement that Nee
ly gave him $4,000 before leaving to
make the books tally. Nicely answered
that this was not SO and said he was
with an employee of the postofice at
the hour named by Reeves in his state
ment. At the request of Ncely's coun-
sel this employee will be summoned to

sidy Measure.
PARTY LINES DRAWN IN COMMITTEE,
Purpose of the Bill to Estnblish
Maritime Supremacy Of the Unit-
ed States In Next Ten Years.
Sum mary Of the Report.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.sThe SEN
ate committee on commerce has a,l-
thorized favorable report Of Senator
Frye's ship subsidy bill. The report
will be made by Senator Frye.
The Democratic members of the com.
mittee voted against reporting the bill.
They also voted solidly for a motion
offered by Senator Mallory to strike
out the general subsidy provision Of
the bill The committee made several
amendments to the bill. The most i'm
portant were allowing mail carrying
vessels under the bill to be either iron
Or steel instead Of steel only. as origi-
nally provided. and reducing to 1000
gross registered tons the vessels re-
ceiving & bounty under the bill.
The report prepared by Senator Frye
was read to til" committee. II says
that the purpose Of the bill is to estab-
lish the mNritime supremacy of the
United States in trade with Asia and
in the gulf of Mexico and the Carib-
bean sea, to establish securely trade
between the United States and South
America and to give the United States
a respectable representation on the
north Atlantic The claim is made
that all these results will be accom-
pllshed within ten years. The report
also asserts that the bill will so extend
shiplEi!hinG as to transfer from
abroad to the United States the center
Of that industry. as the centers of 9TH
er industries recently have been trans
ferreu. and also that it will give to the
United States Il measure Of maritime
Independence corresponding to our is
dustrin and horticultural indcpend-
enCe.
Senator Frye furnished the press the
following summary of The report:
"Thc establishment Of this complete
American ocean mAil service Involving
much :suiFbuiltiing. will require several
years. 1t will render the United States
az independent Of foreign powers fcr
