Americans desire to enthusiastically en-

There was trouble between DR.. DiaZ
and the convention because of funds en-
trusted to the Cuban that the home

favorably upon

Washington, May 9-Postmaster Cen
Dover. a fireman employed in The post
office department, as a result of charges
that Dover recently filed against Chief
James ODonneI and other superior CT
ficers. Dover alleged that a ring to
govern promotions and other matters
existed in the engine room and that i'm
proper contracts had been made. The
charges We're investigated by a pOstof-
flee inspector and the report does not
sustain them. The postmaster general
announced that the action of Dover in
making the frivolous and scandalous
charges. giving them publicity and then
failing utterly to sustain them, is TO
the detriment of the service and sub
versive of all discipline, the discharge
Of Dover is ordered for the good of the
service.''

Postoffice Inspector Thorpe, Of New

the investigation Of the department
will remain with Acting superintendent
FosneS to assist him in the handling of
some of the details Of the work. Post
master General Payne said today that
the transfer of the free delivery to the

First Assistant Postmaster General

Seymour W. Tulloch, the former
cashier Of the Washington city post
office. who in a newspaper Interview
made grave charges against the admin
istratlon of the postal service at the
time of his removal several years ago,
was in the city today.
"It is a curious coincidence" said Mr.
Tulloch. that the suspension Of Mr..
Machen follows so closely the receipt of
the replies to the letters the postmaster
general sent regarding my statements.
If the truth was told the information
those replies contained must have fully
borne out everything that | have said.
Mr. Bristow is a thoroughly honest
and, l believe fearless investigator, and
his reply must have embodied data of
which the postmaster general had not
been previously aware. / regard my

SITUATION GRAVE.
Berlin, May 9.-The German govern
ment regards the Turko- Bulgarian
situation as being grave, but respon-
can be STAYED off through the sum-
mer more sober counsels can get a.
hearing in the winter when military
action is impossible
Regarding the mutual recriminationS
Of Turkey and Bulgaria in imputing
belllcoSe purposes, the officials here
say Turkey certainly cannot wish for
war because she IS unable to bear the
expense and knows before hand that
the powers would not permit territorial
expansion in case Of victory 1t is be-
lleVed also that Bulgaria while showing
a deplOrably weak attitude towards the
revolutionary elements, does not de-
sire war.
The powers have made representa-
tIOnS at Sofia emphasizing the impos-
sibility of allowing Bulgaria to realize
the fundamental aim of It's policy.
namely, the acquisition Of part of
Macedonia. The powers know that the
partition of Macedonia in favor of
Bulgaria would cause Greece. Servia
and other countries to raise claims for
Turkish territory. Hence the powers
are unitedly determined not to permit
any change in the status quo.
Danger lies in the fact that Turkish
and Bulgarian troops are facing each
other on the frontier and in proximity
| to it. rendering a nlcre or less acct
| dental collision possible. which could
| easily grow into uncomfortable dirnen-
| Sions. The situate n, therefore, is
| having a depressing effect on the Ger
| man bourses and is preventing any op-
| erat1OnS on a large scale.

The subject has not been mentioned by
either the BritiS1 ambassador at st.

also has not been informed Of any in
tention on the part of the United States

would come as a pleasant surprise to
