bezslement About 100000.

of the Cuban postal frauds Colonel
Charles H. Burton, formerly inspector
general of the division Of Cuba. tssti-
fed to having made an invsstigat ton
of the Cuban postal department, during
which he had found Irregularities in
the auditors office showing double
credits amounting to $4,000. Colonel
Burton said that his examination Of
the books of G. +. W. Neely disclosed
the probable embezzlement of $4,000
during the months of January, Februa-
ry and March Of 1900 and a total en-
bezzlement Of about 100000 since Ju-
ly, 1899.
lie said this estimate of defalcatiOn
was made from the report Of the amount
paid i'll by Cuban postmasters and
the amount Neely had deposited TO the
credit of the department OF posts. Colo
nel Burton testified that he had asked
Estes q. Rathbone about the burning
of the stamps and that Rathbone had
told him that he had talked the ma after
over with General John II. Brooke, for
mer military governor of Cuba, who
had consented thereto Colonel Burton
further said that General Brooke had
told him that Rathbone had not spoken
TO him about this matter Colonel Bur-
ton admitted that Rathbo,le had the
right to burn these stamps without the
consent Of General Brooke.
Cross examined by Senorcs Dcsvcr-
nine and LanuZu, counsel for Kath-
bone, Colonel Burton said he had
bought cArrlagc from the ins,llar
funds and had put in bathtub and
heater in his private house. payment
for which was also made from the in
sular funds. and that other army Off
GERS had done the same. He said he
thought he was entitled to carriage
from the insular funds but thut he had
only the verbal authorization of SGener-
al Adla Il. Chatfee formerly Chief of
staff to General Brooke, for these eN-
penditures. Colonel Burton said Rath-
bone had no rank in the army, but that
he held high official position.
Mr.. Carter. the disbursing officer,
was recalled to the stand and said that
none Of RathbOne's private bills had
been paid from The postal receipts.

Murphy a Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, July 29.-Prices were a shade better in the early cotton market
 In the minds of conservative people rul- ing figures are low enough. and a feeble effort was made to advance prices. While no great headway was made, 1t was equally apparent that there was no like lihood of sellers taking an aggressive stand just now. In quarters where much opposition has been encountered of late great conservatism is apparent, despite the prevalent idea that the crop is Tn good shape. The fact remains that while the crop is doing srlendidly in many places it is doing quite poorly in others, and the safer course of awaiting further devol- opments has been adopted of late, and this is likely to be observed until appear ance of bureau reports on August I. Pal estine, Tex, early in the day reported heavy rains Arkansas accounts were de- cidedly bearish as to acreage and condi- tion of plant. Mail reports were mixed enough in regard to crop in general as to cause some abatement in the selling pres sure. Old crop months were supported by Liverpool early in the day. Some Texas towns had over inches of rain today
 and this. coupled with reports of dam age in the lower Brazos valley, lifted prices before FOOT. The weekly bureau

BUMPER YIELD IS REPORTED

New York, July 29.-The cotton mar ket opened steady with prices points higher to 1 point lower and then worked upward on moderately active demand from shorts, some foreign buying of Au- gust and what appeared to be profit-tak- Ing by prominent Wall street interests. This buying was induced, in good part, by reports that floods were general in the Brazos valley and other districts of Texas, where heavy rains to cloudbursts had occurred last night. The early Liver pool cables were very disappointing and private telegrams from the belt in gen. eral reported a fine outlook for a bumper yield. Yet the fear of possible damage to the Texas crop induced the smaller shorts to retreat and changed the atti- tude Of larger bears from the offensive to the defensive.
 Toward midday the scare subsided somewhat and prices settled back sev- eral points. The weekly crop weather report of the government failed to in- fiuence the market appreciaNy either way. Toward the close there was anoth- CT sharp buying movement in which prices worked up to the close and best figures of the morning and business broadened materially. The close was steady with prices net 1 to points high CT. Total sales were estimated at 2OO, ,00O bales.
