CUBAN FRAUD CASES
Rathbons Unexpectedly GALL
cd by Government.
WITNESS MAKES GOOD IMPRESSION,
Head Of Island Posts Says orders
We're Given For MNlthIy state-
mcnts by Deputies, but Could
Not He Enforced.

HAVANA, Jan. -14.-Upon the re-
sumption Of the hearings growing out
OF the Cuban postoifice frauds RatL.
bone was unexpectedly called by the
government. The court told Rathbene
he had the right to refuse to testify If
he SO desired, to which Rathbone re-
piled that he was glad Of this oppor-
tunity to testify. 1t was evident that
Rathbone's frank AMI honest manner
in answering questions impressed the
court and the judges, who listened at
tentively to what he said when, ex.
planning the details OF the working Of
the department of posts. Rathbone
asked the privilege Of making his state
ments more clear.
The court questioned Rathbone con-
cerning the appointments Of Neely and
Reeves. TO this question Kathbone re-
piled that both men had been sent him
by the department at Washington.
Rsthbone said that when Assistant
Auditor j. ID. I.awshe turned over the
office and the postal accounts he high.
ly recommended Reeves.
Much time was taken up by discuss
ing the question as to whether or not
Rathbone had issued an order to the
effect that the Cuban postmasters
render monthly accounts. 1t was due
to the fact that the postmasters had
not rendered accounts that Reeves was
enabled to issue many duplicate war
rants. most of which Reeves now says
Neely caslled and kept the money.
RathhOne claims that orders for the
Cuban postmasters to render monthly
accounts were issued in June, 1899,
and that these orders were in the form
or recommendations from special
agents that monthly accounts be car
ried. On these recommendations Rath-
bone says he wrote the word "ordered,"
signing his name below it.
The government contends that the
word ordered was not written on
these recommendations when the irreg-
ul;lrities in the postofiicc We're discov-
cred. Rathhone produced letters writ
ten to his chief clerk in May, 1900, call
ing the htter's attention to the fact
that the order for monthly inspection
had not been carried out and asking an
explanation. The fiscal asked Rath.
bone II it was not his place to see that
his orders were carried out as we'll az
to issue them. To this the latter re-
piled that with all the details of the Of !
flee il was impossible for him to see
That everything was done.

IQE BEAMS CASE

At the meeting OF the Eastern league
to be held at the Victoria hotel, New
York. tomorrow. number OF important
question: will come up for settlement,
among them the claim put in by the
Rochester club for Joe Bean of the Grays.
Rochester claims that. when Bean was
him by that club. and Bean practically
accepted the terms named. Buffalo also
wanted Bean, and In answer to an Offer
OF the Buffalo club Bean telegraphed TINT
he had closed with Rochester
This telegram was filed with President
Powers along with the Rochester claim.
and on the strength of this the demand
for Beams services is made, holding that
this Is sufficient ev.G-ace of prior agree
ment with Rochester.
The full league will decide upon the
case. and TO say the least the telegram
certainly bears the claim Of Rochester
that Bean agreed TO sign with that club.
but whether an agreement to sign con-
tract will hold player is question TO
be decided. The word of some players
is as good as a signed contract. but with
others their word isn't worth a bad
penny.
Another question that will come up is
that OF Rochester's complaint against the
Newark club for refusing 10 play a Sun
day game in the former city. Inasmuch
as the same thing has been done dozens
OF times before I'm the Eastern league
and the game I'm question was not sched-
uled II doesn't look as though Roches-
ter had a very good case.
