- H A V A N A , M ay 17.—W arrants were ' Issued lost evening for the arrest o f Mr,

R P . Thompson, the H avana • postm as­ter; Mr. W . H- R eeves, deputy auditor of the island', npil E dw ard M oya and Jorge

' MaBcaro, Cuban clerks in the stam p de­partment, And by 7 o ’clock-all Were lodg­ed in the Vivnc, the Tom bs of H avana, T his wag done under the advice "Of the postal inspectors who have arrived. It is considered now thnt R eeves-is equally guilty w ith Neely.' Investigation into the record o f the clerk in the m ilitary department who handled several hundred dollars’ worth of'stam ps proves that the transaction, so far as, lie is concerned, w as legitim ate. The stnmps were purchased at the re­quest o t h is brofher, who is a stam p col­lector in the United Spates, for $800. They were of the old issue and were ob­tained from Neely.■ The arrest o f Mr. Thompson caused great’ surprise in the city. I t is looked upon as the precursor o f m any other ar-

, rests. Genernl W ood fe lt, ns did the postal inspectors, that it would be better to have the suspected persons arrested and.,to give them an.opportunity to ob­tain bail than to keep them indefinitely under close surveillance a t a tim e when the detectives are badly needed for other work. . • .

I t is aBserted| by law yers that on Mr. Thompson’s own statem ent he is liable to arrest for embezzlement according to the provisions of the postal law , which djrc very explicit. Much sym pathy is ex­pressed for him, • however, ns it is fell that nothing would ever have been bedrd regarding the action to which he lias con­fessed had not the preseut investigation growing out o f the general postal fraud" brought the m atter to light. H is-frlends arc positive tbqt tbe money would have been repaid, the memorandum receipt taken up and the incident thus closed. A s

, th e affair stands now Mr. Thompson's- career in the postal service m ust neces­sarily cease.

Postm aster Thompson yesterday made a sworn statem ent in which he Bays that September last, being In need of money, he took from tho money order funds-

• 9435, giving his memorandum as 0 re­ceipt for the sam e. W hen the Inspections were held, Mr. Thom pson ordered a clerk in charge Of the m oney order department to place rem ittances received that day. which would riot Have to be accounted foi until the follow ing day, sufficient to covet th e amount o f h is receipt, which' was then withdrawn until a fter the inspec­tion. Thi* w as kept up until April, when th e special agents unexpectedly discover­ed the receipt, which Mr. Thompson then paid.

**pc also adm its that Charles P . W N eely, lafe financial agent o f posts at H avana, indorsed a bill for ?350, which Thom pson dincounted ot the North Amer1 lea n Trust. Thompson adm its other Ir­regularities in connection w ith his de­partm ent. _________

Griffin wanted to open a saloon 'In Cor- lles avenue, W est G rove; Barrett, in Avon. They were defended by Thotnas P . Fay.

In regard to Griffin’s application, it was proved by ev idence produced bjr Counselor Patterson' that b is application had only eleven freeholders’ signatures, the law Tequirlhg tw elve.

It was established on the ev id en ce of Nlart Rogers, a surveyor, that the place Barrett wanted to open is-w lth ln one .m ile o f the Ocean Grove Camp M eeting Aaao: elation’s'property and this, under a law of the state, barred him from pr.fenring a ltcen'se.

OCEAN GROVE SUPREME; ASBURY PARK IMPOTENT.

And Ib is Explains, According to SecretaryEv^ns, Why the Sunday Train .Lease,

Though Broken, is Still Enforced By Ocean Grove.

The public In terest. in Sunday train service for Asbury Park and the posslbil- lty of securing such se'rvlce In the future ls not by , any means dampened by the agreem ent between the Ocean Grove Camp M eeting -Association and the rail­road company.^ That there Is a more than remote possibility in the realization o f a com mon hope is acknowledged to be contained lb tbe fo llow ing clause In the lease of a strip o f land by the Ocean Grove Association to the N ew Y ork and Long Branch Railroad Company, the In­strument having’ been recorded tn the county clerk’s pfflce In Freehold October 2, 1883, In record book No. 372, page 152:

Subject nevertheless, so far as the sam e may oe applicable thereto and this lease Is- granted and accepted accordingly, to the regulations which may from tim e to tim e be adopted and promulgated for tbe government o f the Bald camp ground aud whlcb are hereby made part o f th is ,in ­strument as fu lly to all intents and pur­poses as If they were Incorporated herein, especially the regulation prohibiting the Stopping of trains or locom otives, cars or other veh icles used , in the transportation of passengers or freight at the structures to be erected on said ground nOr upon said ground nor at any point nearer than Ocean Beach oa the south, or Deal on tbe north, on the first, day of the w eek, com ­monly called 8unday, for the purpose o f taking on or lettlpg o il passengers or freight, excepting in cases o f accident or from some unavoidable cause. Provided, however, that if at any tim e the said party of the second part shall deem it necessary to stop their trains nearer to Ocean' Grove than Ocean Beach on the south, or Deal Beacb on the north, w ith­out the consent o f the said party of tbe first part, then the property herein de­m ised shall revert to the said party of the first part, but the said party o f the second p an shall have the privileges o f rem oving such o f their property on said herein de­mised prem ises as they may deem ad­visable.

It w ill be noticed tbat th e lease stipu­lates that no trains shall stop on Sundays south of Deal or north, o f Ocean Beach.

T he trains now stop at Interlaken, south of D eal, and Avon, north o f Ocean Beach. The-opinion Is held that the lease has been broken by this near approach at botta^iitia-to-tbe prohlblted- cpntral point- At any rate there Is no other reason given for the stopping o f trains at Interlaken and Avon than “because,” and th is Sec­retary George W . Evans o f tbe Ocean .Grove Camp M eeting Association gave tb ls m orning.

“T his w as done in 1889," said Mr. Evans, “when the railroad com pany built, a freight depot at Bradley Beach."

“W hy was It done' and w hy allow ed ?” was asked.

‘ Oh, because,” w a8 the reply, “because w e allowed the com pany to do it.”

“But If this was allowed by what right do you prohibit the stopping o f trains, say at N orth Asbury Park ?”

“Because it would be a violation o f tbe contract.”

“H as not the contract already been violated ? ’ ’

"N o, sir,”Then Mr. Evans went on to -sa y that

Asbury Park has right along been claim ­in g som ething that does not b elon g to It. “T he railroad com pany doeB not acknowl­edge Asbury Park at a l l . ' That depot ls the Ocean Grove depot more than It is Asbury Park’s depot. In fact, w e could have had It furthe>- down the road had w e so desired, but as things w ere at the tim e o f its building, the location was prefera­ble to Ocean Grove.”

T he interview closed with a reiteration by Mr. Evans of a statem ent made M on­day, namely, that there is no use Ip agl-, tatlng a matter that’ Is settled-

The B eaf^jpurchase Scheme.T he beach purchase com m ittee o f

Common Connell did not go to N ew York 'today to confer with Jam es ; A. Bradley, as per schedule., City Solicitor John F . H aw kins, w ho was to accompany the com m ittee, could not gj. H e is at liberty tomorrow and w ill go w ith the com m ittee then.

IT SAVES FROM A GREATER EVIL.To Abollab the SaJe of Bcer a t Army

and CftQie Store Crime,

W A S H IN G T O N , M ay 1 7 .- Secretary Rolot has^sent to Chairman H ull o f the' bouse com m ittee on m ilitary affairs an exhaustive iBllectibn o f opinions on the question of the “army canteen” gathered by A djutant General Corbin from eve 17

, branch of tbe military service. The in quiry w as made because o f th e introduc­tion o f a bill to prohibit tbe sale or deal­ing in beer or any intoxicating liquoi • upon any m ilitary premises, Mr. H ull having invited the opinion of tbe w ar de­partment officials.

Secretary ltopt, in th e course of a .briet indorsement says:

“I think the enactm ent o f - t h is bill ■would be injurious to the temperance, morals and discipline of the enlisted men of the nrmy.”

General Corbin in an elaborate review o f the inquiry says:

“I f the prohibition of the Bnle o f beet at military posts, as contemplated by this bill, could be effective in bringing about a destruction of the drink habit among the soldiersr the adjutant general would unhesitatingly urge its ndoption, nnd in so doing he believes he would voice the practically unanim ous sentim ent o f the officers o f the nrmy, but when, on the contrary, it con be stated as a fact that the closing o f the canteen section of the post exchange would be to have such sol­diers as are now content w ith drinking an occasional glasB of ,beer w ithin the lim its o f the post go to the w hisky shops and dens o f vice that once surrounded permanent posts and w hioh-on the pas­sage o f such a law would soon revive he cannot too strongly express the opinion that such legislation would be inimical to the best interests o f the arm y.”' General Corbin review s the old con­

ditions and cites the existence then of scores o f low groggeries in W ashington and elsew here in tbe neighborhood of nrmy posts in support o f bis position. H e oIbo refers to the expert opinion a s to ’ siek rate, extent of drunkenness, in th is country and at Insular points and says:

"In the face o f Tbe testim ony o f . tbo men who nre in direct contnct w ith the system and of expert invostigntion it iB . sa fe to presume that the prohibition o f the sale o f beer in the post 'exchange m eans an increase pf -whisky drinking and druuKenuess' una t i e consequent ne­cessity for medical treatm ent, an in­crease oTthc, horrors bf delirium trem ens and insanity, nn increased number of courts m artial and punishment and of desertions, to the scandal o f the service, no less than a decrease o f discipline, health and tbe consequent diminution of Contentment, pelf reliance and esteem on the part o f the enliBted men, to say noth­ing of its effects upon surrounding com­m unities.”

For hygienic reasons General Corbin sa y s the w ar departm ent has not encour­aged the establishm ent o f canteens for the selling o f beer In Cuba, although the ndvisabillty o f this course Is doubled as th e men run in debt nt th e shops and cpfes and drink vile liquors which often throw tbem into convulsions. In the Philippine Islands General Corbin says every effort is m ade to keep the Soldiers from drinking, but they have no difficulty In securing from the natives a vile stuff called “A nisado” or “V ino,” the effect of w hich is to drive men to a crazed condi- -■ tion tbat, as a pathological problem, has occasioned much concern among army medical people. To me^t th is condition a canteen w as established ^ Manila for the sale o f beer, and the baneficial effects therefrom w ere alm ost instantaneous. T he vino shops were driven out of busi­ness, and the vino question, ho far as our Boldiers were concerned, died a natural death. ' . 1

In conclusion General Corbin says that- the canteen system is being carefully watched aud perfected and that tbe in­terests o f tlie army require it should not. be disturbed. H e says those m ost inter-. ested regard it as a success as a temper-, uuce measure, and he adds:

“T he wonder o f it all is that the pro­fessional temperance reformers nre in, this respect allied with the aggressive sa­loon interests in their efforts^ to secure- legislation td' destroy it.”

R elative to the apointment o f Senator Qlark to the United States sen­a te by Lieutenant Governor Spriggs he 1 spoke in very vigorous terms of w hat he termed "contemptible trickery.” H e said: “T his man Clark fias been convicted by tbe United States senate o f perjury, brib­ery nnd fraud, and it is an insult to the senate to send him bock to that body. It Is a disgrace, sham e and humiliation upon the people of Montnnn, and the sepato should act upon th e resolutions nnd show him th a t they do n ot w ant him tlieve, aa be can take the hint no' other w ay.”

Strong demands are being made on the United States for gold for various parts of Europe, and all the demands' ore being met promptly, as far as can _b® seen.

Though the United States was fbr many years the largest gold producer, It was considered a debtor-country, and therefore had need for money from tbe rest'o f the world instead of being able to furnish any to out9lde nations. To a considerable ex­tent this condition has changed in the lapse of time. The United. States is still one of the greatest of the gold producers.

In regard to the liquor traffic, it Ie dorsed the sentim ent o f the episcopal ad­dress, tha t “It can n ev er‘.be legalized w ithout Bln," and declared tjjat licensing i t legalizes it. In contrast to the con­dem nation o f the president on the anti- canteen m atter was a eulogy o f Secre­tary Long for banishing liquor frtto the A m erican nnv&l sh ips and yards.

A m ong the recom m endations made by the report is th e follow ing:

“M inisters and m embers o f our church­es should not become nor rem ain m em ­bers o f social clubs w hich keep a' bar or provide intoxicating liquors for the sisg of their m embers and others.”

I t is also expected from th e tone o f the debate ic the committee th a t the vote w ill favor the removal of tho prohibitory ban on a t least som e of the am usem ents now discountenanced.

T he report o f the .th ird ballot for fish - ops, it is said, w ill show a gain o f up­ward o f -40 votes for U r. J , F ,, Berry -uni a, corresponding loss to D r. B ow eh, the colored candidate.

S A N FRANCIS,CO , M ay 17.—Brlga- dier General Thetfdore Scliw an, w ho has been G eneral O tis’ ch ief o f staff in the P hilippines for nearly a year, “lias ar­rived b e n from M anila on the transport Thom as.

Concerning the situation iu the Philippines General Schw an is hope­ful that it w ill not be m any m onths be­fore affairs will have naturally adjusted them selves to the American control and the robber gangs wilLliaYe been stamped out.

“The robber bands,” said General Schw an, “arc incited by native politicians w ho im pose on the credulity o f ihe com­mon herd. No people arc so, credulous as the lower class o f the F ilip inos. Thest leaders have been incitlnfr the ex-soldiers to continue on the w arpath, assuring them that an Vraerican election w n s soon com ing and M cK inley would be defeated

G E N E R A L SC H W A N .and the A m ericans w ithdraw n from th* Piulippinqa.

"There are* about 00,000 troops in the Philippines now. T hat number is ample for th e Mtuation. T h e islands are well covered w ith American troops, carefully distributed to ail the strategic points and c a d garrison ?espopsible for its own sphere o f sictioc. M any o f th e jobber bands are armed, principally w ith keen edged bolos, the native weapon. They pillage sm all tow ns and frequently cut the throats o f native* who-* have been friendly to, Am ericans. B y degrees, how­ever, the distributed garrisons? are gain­ing the confidence o f the townspeople tvhere. they are stationed, and already hi^ve succeeded’ in som e coses In getting native help to guide them to the robbers.

“A fter the w et season and a fter the national elections in th is country th e pac­ification of the Philippines w ill n a tu ra l­ly com plete itself. The natives are quick­ly acquiring the E nglish, language, and even the troublesome class sent! ahildren to school to learn E nglish. W e sire in complete- military possession o f th e in­lands.

L O N D O N , Mny 17.—The B r itish r e ll# column .fought the Boers nt Krnni Pan, 32 miles south of Mnfejiing, on Tuesday, according to n telegi'ani received" '.Wid- nesday uight nt Lourenco lMiirqiies fimn Jlloiopt), 100 m iles north of .Mlt'feking.

This intelligence is nccepti.d hc:e w i‘ i> some reserve because, it is difficult to,m i derptnnd how the news ,c6iild have In e i'. so quickly put on the wire in iu i it plhu* 132 miles from the scene of ti.e ehgn^c* ment.- A correspondent o f The Morning Post presnninbly Mr. Jolni, S tua:t, is reported captured by the Boers nt Ivinai Pan. _ili'<«-J?Mit-fslir'public 4« keenly ^expectant of the anmmiicemjjnt; that JIafeUiiig Kfts beeii relieved, in army circles the opinion seems .to .pre,vnil thnt this has already been nccoinplished, although tw o hour* after midnight the w ar office asserted that new s of thtr relief had uot been re­ceived.

I h e D aily E xpress publishes this morn­ing a three column N ew York special, signed bjr Patrick.O ’Connor, w ho crossed tlie 'Atlantic w ith the Boer delegates on the Ma'asdam under pretense o f being nu .Irisli-Aineiicnn and a Boer sympathizer. A s a matter o f fact Mr. O’Connor under­stands the Dutch language, nntl he claim s to hitve overheurd much private conver­sation! in the course o f which Mr. Wol- maruns is reported as saying to Mr.JKiscbori — ----- —

” 1 think w e should be careful o f what w e say to .th is matt, as he may be a spy. Are you sure he is an Am erican?”

Mr. F ischer—There is no doubt o f it. I can tell by his accent.

Mr. W essels—-It would, never do, of course, for the B ritish tc know that w e ore really iu ti(e last'extrem ity/or^ for him to know that w e nre thinking of staying in America.

Then, resuming the E nglish language, Mr. F ischer began by blam ing Mr. Cecil R hodes for ■ bringing on the war. H - snid: .

“ I haven’t n shadow of doubt that Sir A lfred M ilner w as sent, to South- A frica to prepare for the spoliation of the Boer republics by force if accessary. The franchise ruse w as all humbug. Presi­dent Kruger_ ceded so much af ■ the B loem fontein conference that,M ilner w as in mortal fear lest nil his requests should be granted and lest he should thereby lose the chance o f annexing the Trans­vaal.” : • 1

Mr. W oim arans said to Mr. F ischer io D utch, "Do you think w e had better tel! him how K ruger broke, off the confer­ence ?”

Mr. FlAcher—No. „Mr. W oim arans (in D utch)—Our posi­

tion just now is precisely that o l Jam e­son a t the tim e of the raid. H e expected Johannesburg to rise to h is assistance. W e expected th e sam e of Cape Colony and N atal. We are b itterly disappointed. T ell him how Schreiner deceived us.

Mr. Fincher—H r knows w ell—as well a s w e do—thnt Schreiner is loyal to G reat Britain.

Resum ing English, M r. F ischer said, “W e ore going to w in the w ar i f it takes years.”

Addressing M r, W easels and using D utch, Mr, F ischer then said: “W e had better slot say too much. W e are get­ting badly beaten now. W e are going to Atnerict? in the hope o f obtaining the friendly, help o f the U nited S ta tes in the cause o f peace. T h at is wjtot w e will say to the public. A s a m atter o f fact, w e h ave no hope w hatever. W e have no cut ond dried programme.”

T h e delegates w ere ranch astonished at th e reception on their arrival in N ew York. Whe . land w as sighted, Mr. W oi­m arans exclaim ed, “W hat shall w e do when w e g e t there?”

W A SH IN G T O N , Mny 17.—D iscussion of the ndministrntion of affairs iu Cubn by agents of the Uuited S tates bccupicd the attention of the sonate during tbe greater part of yesterday’s session. Jtfr. Bacon of Georgia spoke a t IcngtU oil his resolution directing the committee on re-

- lntlons with Cuba to make an investiga­tion o f the conduct o f fiitnnciu] nfTnlis of the island. H e maintained that it w as the duty of congress to m ake the investi­gation- called for by the' resolution be­cause it w as due the people of this coun­try to know just how affairs in the island were being conducted, and since the dis­closures of tlie past few days lind been made w ith respect to the alleged m isap­propriation of funds in the postal section the obligation upon congrcss to make au investigation w as doulily.lieavy. H e urjr- ed that the honor of the country depend­ed upon ifs being able to clear aw ay the fraud and corruption which it w as charg­ed had been discovered. H e insisted that the government of the United S tates had no authority in Cuba and demanded to know how soon it proposed to redeem its pledge and leave the government o f the island to its inhabitants.

The house accomplished little beside passing the senate bill to incorporate the American National Red CroW N o prog­ress w as made w ith the Alasl& n code bill owing to the inability o f the tw o sides to agree as to the time to be allowed foi general debate. The conference report •on the District of Columbia appropria­tion. bill w as rejected after extended de bate.
