difficult to recite. the latter being
quite lengthy and introducing three

portrayal of the old French dancing

Havana, Jan. 22.-The testimony OF
the Postohice inspectors introduced by
the Government today at the trial OF
the charges growing out of the Cuban
postal frauds was to the effect that C.
F. W. Nicely, eX-chief of the Cuban
postal bureau of finance. came to Ha-
vana practically bankrupt In Deem
Der. 1898; that between that time and
January, 1900, he made deposits in the
bank Of Muncie, Ind, amounting to
S43,7OO, and that the bond of 10000
furnished by Nicely at the time of his
arrest was forwarded from his account
with the Muncle bank to the First Ma

Inspector Holmes testified that Ger.
tain deposits Nicely had made through

lock box company which furnished the
lock boxes for the Havana postofice
Holmes also testified that his investi.
cation showed that E..G. Rathbone had
not sent money from Havana during
the time he was Postmaster General OF
Cuba; that the paying OFF of the mort
gage upon his estate had been done be-
fore his going to Havana, and that all

Congress the views Of that government

PRODUCED a bill which is regarded by

ments as Objectionable. Mr. Boyd will
make a strong effort to defeat the
measure
When seen last night in reference to
his mission. Mr.. Boyd said: 81 am not
going to Washington in spirit of an
tagonism to the Administration. In
fact. | am persuaded that the Admins
tration has the welfare OF the Hawa-
iian Islands at heart in the most sin
Cere manner, but do not think that
the conditions are fully understood by
the United States Congress. The meas
ure proposed by Delegate Wilcox is. in
n modified sense. a copy OF the United
States homestead law. This law has
unquestionably been of great good to
the United States. but we who know
the conditions in those Islands know
that such law could not be otherwise
than detrimental to them. The pro-
visions Of the measure are too liberal:
they are on too great a scale. Our ter
ritory is limited, our forests and water
supplies must be carefully protected
and nursed. We cannot be too liberal.
] do not go to antagonize Congress or
the Administration, but to point out
the errors of the proposed law as we
see them. What | hope to do is to per-
suade Congress to appoint committee
of fair-minded men to visit the Islands
and investigate the conditions there
thoroughly before enacting legislation
that we know will be detrimental to
the interests of the Islands. | have no
doubt that when this is done we will
get such laws as will be for our best
interests"

Minister WI Working
On Exclusion Affairs

Washington, d. c., Jan. 1S.-Min.
lister WI has heretofore confined him.
self to entertaining talk in his opposi-
ton to a re-enactment OF the Chinese
exclusion law. He now takes the mat
ter more seriously, however, and in
acting in his official capacity as O
representative of the Chinese Govern.
ment has brought to bear a certain
amount of diplomatic pressure which
must be taken more seriously. The
fact that the Chinese Government
threatens retaliatory commercial re.
strictions If the United States excludes
Chinese citizens wiz not prevent thu
adoption of a Chinese exclusion law,
though 1t will cost the STATE Depart
ment considerable worry.
II is taken for granted by all those
who are chiefly concerned with immi.
grafton that the Chinese Will be eX.
cluded and the lobby now here from
the Pacific Coast is devoting its at.
tention entirely to making the law
even more drastic than was contem
plated, and to prevent, If possible, the
Chinese in the Ailippines and other
new possessions of the United States
from coming to the Mainland.
The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.
Gage, is opposed to a re,enactment OF
the Chinese exclusion law and would
have said so in his annual report but
for the opposite position taken by
President Roosevelt. The gains which
might be made in Oriental trade by
free admission of Chinese citizens, OF
the loss which may come to the pres
ent trade by their strict exclusion WI
not seriously concern the many mem
bers of Congress who will go before
the people this year for reelection.
Inc labor organizations oil the coun
try are extremely urgent in this mat
ter, and while a number of members
may privately doubt the necessity OF
an exclusion law, they will hardly sac
rifice their personal ambition to such
convictions. The situation in regard
to this proposed renewal of the Chi
nese exclusion act is rather peculiar
as there Is no doubt ut that a great
MANI people throughout the country
would be willing to try the experiment
Of free intercourse between the two
countries except for the strenuous de.
mand of certain interests for restric-
lions to the contrary. The admission
of the Chinese is not an issue for
which any one appears inclined Ia
fight, bleed an die; whereas re advo,
Gates of exclusion are hercely aggres
siye. Under these circumstances there
can be only one outcome.

Grover Cleveland
On Help for Cuba

YORK, Pa, Jan. ga. B. Farquhar
OF this city, read of the Farquhar Agri-
cultural Works, and prominent in ma.
tional and Democratic affairs, has re-
ceived the following letter from ex-
President Cleveland, IN reply to one
sent him by Farquhar relative to the
relations of the United States with
| Cuba
Westland, Princeton, n. j., January
81, 1902
| My Dear Mr.. Farquhar:-I have only
sufficiently recovered from my illness
10 De about little and ride out in
limited way. Tomorrow hope to start
on trip to the South, in the expecta-
ton that my health will be largely re-
stored by the outing. ! received your
| letter yesterday and was much i'm
pressed by the manner in which Won
discuss your relations and our duty
TO Cuba. The arguments used in CD
position to the tariff concession she
implores, based upon our material in
terests, are fallacious, mistaken and
misleading, while their source and the
agencies of their propagation and
spread cannot fail to be recognized by
every honest, patriotic citizen with
shame and humiliation.
II seems to me, however, that this
subject involves considerations of
morality and conscience higher and
more commanding than all others. The
obligations arising from these con-
siderations cannot be better or more
torcibly defined than was done by
President Roosevelt in his message to
Congress, nor better emphasized than
has been done by Secretary Root, and
yet Congress waits, while we OCCASION
ally hear of concessions which rich su-
gar interests might approve in behalf
or trembling Cuba. don't believe that
nations, any more than individuals, can
safely violate the rules of honesty and
fair dealing. Until there is no escape,
therefore, ! will not believe that with
all our fine words and lofty professions,
our embrace of Cuba means the con-
tagion of deadly disease. Yours truly.
