BRIEF AND PROMPT

to Ex-Cashier TuI|och.
Some of Statements Reckless and
Others AbsurdIy False.
Invites Every investigation of the
Spanish War Period.

washington, May 19.-Capt. Henry A.
department., today, gave out a state
ment in reply to charges made against
his office by ex-Cashier s. w. Tulloch
of the Washington City post office.
Capt Castle says
Il have not yet received the nostmas
ter generals letter transmitting +ab
stracts of Mr.. Tulloch's complaints re-
ferrng to this office. but my reply will
be brief, prompt and 1 thing, conciu-
sive. | shall welcome the opportunity,
fer | have had special satisfaction in
the record of this bureau in settling the
accounts of the Spanish war period.
"Under a decision of the supreme
court of the United States the account
ing officers are not judges of the neces-
sity or the extravaganza of an eXpendi-
ture. They are only concerned with its
legality under some available appro
priation and the sufiiciency of the
vouchers.
Some of Mr.. Tulloch's statements
are reckless and others absurdly false.
The comptroller never disallowed $40
coo that had been approved by this Of
fee. My recollection now is that less
than $1,000 was finally disapproved and
that of that amount a considerable pOr-
ton was simply charged under another
head.
II will, however. refresh my recollec-
ton by going over the official files be-
fore answering the postmaster gen.
erals letter.
Postmaster General Payne, today,
said that he had not communicated
with Former First Assistant POStmas

with the charges of violations of the

tcntion to the appropriation of 100000
