cosmopolitan character of the city's pop

GRAFT FOUND IN MANILA.
Railroad Officials involved in the If
regularities.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Graft in the
right-of-way department of the Manila
Railroad Co has been discovered by tbs
Philippine officials. according to dis
patch to the bureau of insuiar affairs oil
the war department.
The government is interested Indirect
~ in the alleged Irregularities because
the Philippine government guaranteed
about s30,000eo0 worth of bonds of the
railroad company, which is owned by 4
syndicate consisting principally of Brit
ish subjects 1t Is understood that de-
spite the graft, the railroads earnings
are sufficient to pay all guaranteed inter
est on the bonds
The governor general of the Philip
pines, in making a report Of the in
vestigation, which was conducted by
a special representative appointed by
the Philippine government, states that
it does not appear that anybody out
side the right of way deartment is
involved inthe speculations. No names
are given in the report, but it is made
plain that only railroad officials have
thus far been incriminated.
The Irregularities reported were
committed through the purchase of
land for right of way purposes. The
system employed was to charge the
railroad a price far in excess of the
real value, the officials appropriating
the difference to their own use. A
conspiracy, between the owner Of the
property to be acquired and the agents
of the road is alleged to have existed.
No hint is given in the preliminary
report of the transactions as to the
amount involved. but it is assumed
here that the graft will reach thou
sands of dollars,
