The gallant conduct of the band of the
Eleventh regiment during the fight at

bandmaster as follows:
when we were going to the attack
the thirty-one men played a march. When
moving forward to the charge it played,
God, Save the Emperor" and this was
repeated. l fell and near me fell also
two of my men. The band continued to
play, even when only fifteen of the must
clans were left. Then it stopped, and
the musicians. taking guns from men
who had been killed. went forward TO the
attack.
Lieutenant Komarnitsgy, who was
wounded said that at the beginning of

the men and cried: Forward to your

NEW YORK POSTOFFICE.
Inquiry into That Concern Has Been
COMPLETED

Washington. May 12.-Exhaustive in
quiry into affairs of the New York City
postoffice recently was completed by
Chas. S. Robb. assistant attorney general
for the postoffice department. Mr.. Robb
made his report of the investigation
through Postmaster General Payne to
the president. 1t contains full explana-
ton and discussion of the inquiry and
makes several recommendations. The re
port, including the recommendations, has
bgeen approved in its entirety by Presi-
dent Roosevelt The report shows that
Postmaster Vancott himself has been en-
tirely innocent of any Intentional wrong
doing. Some administrative defects which
had been continued from the last admin
istration of the office We're discovered.
They have been corrected. IL is said au'
thoritatively that no evidence OF Grim
inality was disclosed by the investiga-
ton. Such Irregularities as We're dscov-
ered-and they did not. it is said. involve
the integrity of Postmaster Vancott. are
presented fully in Mr. Robbs report. The
recommendations arc made which Will
prevent the recurrence of these irregu-
larities and administrative defects in the
future
The report disclosed the fact that Whit
field Vancott, brother of the postmas-
ter. was employed five years ago as an
examiner or inspector of mai boxes. His
employment the investigation shows. was
illegal The salary paid him for his ser
vices in such capacity has been refunded
TO the government. Richard Vancott. a
son OF the postmaster, the investigation
showed. practically has been directing
the affairs of the New York postOffice.
His connection with the office is ccnsid-
cred in the report a, length.
Mr.. Robb recommends that his services
in the office be dispensed with. Although
1t is not alleged that he had been guilty
of absolute wrong-doing. it is deemed
wiser that his connection with the office
should cease. The president not only has
approved the report and it's remommen-
dations but he has directed that the
recommendations be carried into effect.
He will not remove Postmaster Vancott
as il is not regarded that the inyysti-
cation has shown that ground for re-
moval exists.
Whether Mr.. Vancott will be reap
pointed at the expiration OF his term
about ten months hence, Will be deter
mined at that time.
