NEELY'S APPLICATION,
He Wants Money Taken When He Was
Arrested Returned,

c. F. W. Neely, who was convicted of de-
frauding the Cuban postal funds and after
ward granted amnesty by the Cuban legis-
lature, has applied to the Attorney General
to be reimbursed for the money taken from
him at the time of his arrest, amounting to
Sc, 234. This money was sent to Cuba as an
exhibit at the trial of Neely, and was re-
turned by the military government to the
War Department. Secretary Root wrote a
letter to the Postmaster General informing
him that the money had been returned and
was held to be disposed of at the latter S
direction. The Postmaster General has
not accepted the money, and it still re-
mains in the possession of the Secretary of
Neely or his attorneys for some time to
come, if at all, as the War Department Is
now holding this money until an adjust
ment is made and a balance struck between
the Cuban government and the late mill
tary government regarding financial af-
fairs. 1t Is expected that with the enlarge
ment of the bureau of insular affairs the
accounts Will be eventually computed and a
settlement reached.
In this connection 1t Is stated that the
United States government Is withholding
5000 from the American Trust COMPANY
to cover outstanding checks drawn on tnat
company for which the United States is re-
sponsible, and which were not presented
and paid for until some time after the mill
tary government turned over Cuba to the
new Cuban government This and other
questions of financial balances are being
computed In the War Department, and. it is
expected, will be adjusted within few
months, when all the vouchers, checks and
accounts are presented and settled.

A New Fire Pump.

United States Consul Haynes, at Rouen,
has furnished the State Department with
the following account of newly invented
fire pump recently tested in Rouen:
IAN experiment Was made last evening
at the Hotel de Vile with a new fire pump
invented by Mr.. Robert Lefebre captain
of the Rouen fire company. This pump is
so small that only very light wheeled
cart with one horse is necessary to trans
port it. The dynamo is so constructed as
to be run by a current from the street car
or electric light wires, and is brought into
contact with them by means of a hooked
pole or rod. The pump furnishes a press
ure capable of throwing a jet of water
with a force equal to that of a steam
pump. to the height Of over 100 feet II
also has the advantage of being placed
quickly I'm action wherever there is an cleo
trio current. For this operation it took
only three minutes in yesterdays expert
ment, whereas to get steam pump up to
the same pressure takes fourteen minutes -

NELSON IN JAIL.
Declares He Had No Intention of For
feiting Bond.

John Nelson, indicted for burning several
gambling houses in Jackson City, who for
feited his bond of $1,000 in the Alexandria
county court yesterday by non-appearance,
is today locked up in the county jail on
Fort Myer Heights. After the proceedings
in the court yesterday, in which Judge J..
NJ. Love issued a capias for the arrest of
Nelson as a fugitive from justice, and en-
tered an order forfeiting his bond Messrs.
William Duncan and John Harlow, his
bondsmen started out to look for the ac-
cused. Finally 1t was ascertained that
Nelson was in Rosslyn. Deputy Sheriff
Harry Palmer, armed with bench war
rant, went Immediately to that place and
took the man into custody. He was lodged
in jail about o'clock. There he declared
he had no intention of forfeiting the bond,
but said that he had been mistaken as to
the date of the hearing.
According to arrangements made yester-
day, Judge Love will convene his court
again next Monday morning. 1t is prob
able that some action will then be taken in
Nelson's case, although just what will be
done is not yet clear. If the prisoner had
taken any steps after the developments of
yesterday to secure counsel for his defense
it is not generally known.
The question as to whether the court will
exact the 5000 of his sureties since the ac-
cused has been placed in custody has at
tracted considerable attention, especially
with those most intimately concerned.
While Judge Love, of course, will make no
statement on this matter for publication 1t
may be safely assumed that the court will
excuse the bondholders with the payment
of costs. which will amount to trif1ng
sum. According to law, Messrs. Harlow
and Duncan are responsible for the pay
ment of the entire amount but in view of
the circumStances it is said the obligation
is not likely to be required.
From statements made today by an at
torney prominent in connection with the
case, it seems highly improbable that Judge
Love will again allow Nelson his liberty
before he is brought 10 trial.
