CUBAN FRAUD CASES.
Trial of Postoffice Officials Proceeding
 at Havana.

HAVANA, Jan. 7.-At the continual ton yesterday of the trials of the cases arising from the Cuban postoffice frauds in the Audencia court Senores Lanuza and Desvernine reappeared as counsel for Estes G. Rathbone. Upon the opening of the court last Saturday Rathbone was informed by the judges that his counsel, Senores LanuZa and Desyernine, had withdrawn from the ease.
 Moya and Mascara, the two Cuban stamp clerks, testified that they had re- ceived surcharged stamps from Charles F. w. Nicely without making record thereof, that they had sold them and had given the money received therefor to Nicely. The two stamp clerks re called about eighteen instances of such payments of about $100 each. Moya said that Nicely made no secret of these transactions and that Neely's clerks received this money when Nicely was not present.
 W. H. Reeves, one of the defendants, was on the stand for three -hours. His voice was so weak that the interpreter repeatedly asked him to speak louder, as the official stenographers were una ble to catch one-half of what he said. The fiscal examined Reeves with re- gard to the paying of four duplicate warrants on the postoffice department for the pay of employees i'll July, 1889, when Reeves was deputy of Cuba, and involving about $S,000 One set of war rants had been drawn about the mid dle of the month and another later, and the names on them had been forged.
 Reeves said that both sets of war rants had been paid. He testified that Nicely told him he had cashed these warrants. The fiscal asked Reeves if he had not in previous statement to the court of first instance said that he himself had forged the indorsement to these warrants. Reeves refused to an- swer this question. His testimony was contradictory in many respects with his previous statements.
 During Reeves testimony Neely re- marked that Reeves was getting him. self into tight place and that if ne would keep on he would prove him (Neely) to be innocent.

STEEL TRUSTS EARNINGS.
Years Surplus Will Be $3s, ,O0O.
 Schxyab's Big Slice.

Schvvab's Big Slice.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Following it's policy adopted three months ago, the make known to it's stockholders the re- suits of operation of the big steel trust for the first nine months of its exist ence.
 The statement to be issued today will show that approximately $S0,000,0O0 has been earned over and above the fixed charges, excepting the interest on the bonds. Since it's inception, there fore, the United States Steel corpora ton has earned for it's stockholders and bondholders slightly over $3OO,O00 a day.
 It has been figured out that it takes on both the common and preferred stocks at the present rate and to pay interest on the bonds, so that in the first year of the big steel trusts exist ence it will earn a surplus of about $38,OOO,0OO
 On this surplus President Schwab draws his contingent fee on all the company earns over and above the amount required to pay dividends at the rate of per cent on the preferred and 4 per cent on the common and the interest on the bonds. From the pre- liminary figures of the earnings Presi- dent Schwab will draw his quarter of 1 per cent on about $3S,000,000 as his additional salary or bonus, which ap- parently amounts to $95, 1000. His regu- lar salary is $1OO,OO0, so that his first years salary as president will be ap- proximately $195,000.

Greater Waterbury's new officials
 and the wheels of the new government
 were started on their two years course.
 All was expectancy around City hall
 until the names of the men who com
 pose the various boards were given to the public, after which the successful
 ones were congratulated, and the men
 who thought they might get look in
 conso1ed themselves with the thought
 that the positions went to good men
 anyway. The mayors message, while not as lengthy as President Rooseyelt's,
 for instance, contains much food for
 thought, and every man who pays a
 cent of tax should get a copy of the
 message and make himself conversant
 with the recommendations therein.
 Mayor Kilduff speaks a good word for
 the various boards and individuals who have given so much of their time from the men whom he has delegated to carry on this work the coming year.
 The new board of charities, which takes up the work of the old board of selectmen, is, the mayor says, one of the most important and will have
 much work to do. Speaking of the duties of this board the mayor says: Shall the city not give clothing, gro ceries, rent and fuel to those in need !?
 Is it not better to give the little help 1 that seems to be needed temporarily,
 rather than offer the alternative of
 going to the almshouse to become wholly a public charge? Plausible as | these questions seem, extended eXperi- ence in many cities and careful study ative, and declare that material relief given to people in their own homes
 causes more suffering than it relieves, undermines the desire for self-support, and discourages foresight and thrift,
 encourages immortality and political l corruption, and brings in its train a
 long series of evils that affect a com munity to it's very center. I am of the opinion that we have not arrived at that period where we can dispense l with this form of charity. believe,
 however, that every application for public charity should be carefully in>
 yestigated and only the deserving ones should receive aid" "The poor we aI-
 ways have with us" and our new
 board of charities must use good judg-
 ment in dealing with them. The men who compose this board are capable and there need be no fear that there
 will be any trouble on this score. The 1 prospects look bright for Greater Wa.
 terbury, and if the men who pay the
