SUIT AGAINST NELLY
Is FINALLY CALLED
United States Seeks to Hold the Cash
1t Has Attached.

NEW YORK, April 5.-After many
tedious delays, the suit of the United
States against Charles F. w. Neely.
former director of finance for the post
offices of Cuba, was commenced today
before Judge Lacombe and a Jury in
the United States circuit court
The suit is brought by the govern
ment nominally to have court deter
mine exactly the amount of the alleged
Nicely defalcatiOn in Cuba, but in real
ity the United States seeks to hold the
$4,000 in cash which it has attached
and which was deposited by Nicely as
bail, and about $4,000 of other prop
erty belonging to him which is also
under federal attachment.
According to Special Attorney Cen
eral Jones, the alleged defalcation
amounts to: about $4,000. The defense
will be that the general amnesty act of
Cuba not alone released him from
criminal liability but discharged at the
same time any civil liability that the
United States might hold against him.
Mr.. Jones, while admitting that the
amnesty act released Mr.. Nelly from
prison, denied that it discharged his
civil responsibilities.

DIVIDEND ON STEEL
Regular Quarterly on Preferred
Stock Is Declared.

NEW YORK, April 5-The directors Of
the United States Steel corporation today
declared the regular quarterly dividend of
~ per cent on the preferred stock. The
amount thus applied to the dividend was
$6,304,919, and in order to meet this pay
ment deficit for the quarter of 81, 857, 120
was created.
Earnings for the last quarter March
estimated at SIS, SOC, 0OO) amounted to 3d.
208, 1856. Although the lowest in the cor
poration's history, they were better than
the most eXtravagant estimates made by
outsiders. They were less by $1,828, 295
than earnings for the fourth quarter Of
last year.
The balance of $4.447, 999, applicable to
dividends, was struck after 81 ,945,645 had
been paid off to the sinking funds of the
constituent companies, depreciation and
reserve funds, and Sc, S15, 442 was charged
to interest on the corporations bonds and
sinking funds for the quarter.
Earnings for the first quarter of 1908
were $25, 06S, 707 and for the correspond
ing period of 1902 were $26,715, 457, in
both cases more than enough to meet the
dividends on both preferred and common
shares. Untitled orders on hand for the
quarter amounted to 14,13696 tons, an
increase of 925,S89 tons over the quarter
ended Dec. 81 last. The preferred divi-
