New York, May I.~Aapeoial to the
Herald from Washington says:
‘*F.H wing file publication of In

to $14,270, but the Cuban postal re

upon the Governor General,

when the postoflice department had no
knowledge that a deficit existed.
“In making these requisitions di

ministration officials say, the director
failed to carry out the original order
which Secretary Alger issued. This
contemplated that the director should
inform the I’ofetma6ter G neral of the

make the requisition upon the war
department.

A Reply.
Mu. Editor:
A oase fo a court of justice ehould be
tried and disposed of by the judge and
the jury, and not through the news
pjpe*s. I heartily dislike newspaper
controversies, and muoh prefer to try
all my oases in court rather than
through the press; but, inasmuch as
the article appearing ih your today’s
paper is the stoond attack made upon
me by one J. M. Hoodenplle, I shall
not permit it to go by unnoticed.
The individual to says I
am trying to punish my enemies by
compellingbim'to observe the law and
keep bis plioe of business olossd on
the Sabbath.
IoJ the first place, I desire lo
say that if I b;ve any enemiar',
I am not aware of the fact, nor
do I even consider him an en
emy; and secondly, if I possess
enemies, certainly 1 have ho desire to
infliot punishment upon any of them.
Hoodenpile aaka my permission to
publish the letter I wrote him on the
23rd of April, rrquesting him to oease
from the operation of his business on
Sucslay,' lie certainly has my permit*
eiohtodoao. But perhaps bs may not
publish it; therefore, twill, and show
that I am not persecuting the gen
tleman in any way wluteve/, It is as
fo'lows:

.f. M. Ilnodsnpile,
Brunswlok, Us.:
Dear Sir— t '
As you perhaps are aware, my broth
er befog in the aame line of business
as yourst-lf, baa Died complaint with
Mie mayur about you operating your
business upon tbe Sabbath day, which
he dues not. Should you
f*’ ' & .
keep your busineae open on Sunday
and he does not do so, this of oourse
'piseta .him at. a great disadvantage
OOftpeiing with you.
You should know that ij; would be
very disagreeable for any legal steps
to be taken sgifnslyourfor a violation
of the s*|?e statgie with referenoe to
your pluming. your usual avocation
on the Sabbath day, Thia is, there
fore, to request yon, if jou will take
it aa suob, not to oontmue the opera
tion of your business on Suudsy; for
if you do, I shall be constrained to id
,tute tbe neoessary legal proceedings
?i) (be matter, looking to tha enforce
ment of the law for an alleged viola
tion of it on your part, if you.do vio
late it. The mayor advises rue that he
gave instructions to, yo not to keep
open on Sunday later than 9 o’clock in
tbe morning. I hope yop will not keep
open your business at lit on Sunday,
for if you do, brother ssya he will be
compelled to do likewise; and I am
Tying, if poaeible, to keep him from
opening up hie business on Sunday. I
trust you will reoelve this letter in the
proper epTir, and hope you will con
olude not to operate your business on
Sunday in ths future.
Youra truly.”
It will be observed that thia was on
the 23rd of Apil. On the following
Sunday, April 29tb, Il iodenpile ope
rated bjs business, just as bs imd been
doing in times pas', selling artioles of
merchandise in his store; and yet be
bad tbe assumption and assurance to
get up! n tbe stand and tell tbe jury,
afterjlhis letter to him, that If he was
violating tbe Sunday law io selling
from.hie etore on Sunday, he wai not
aware of it.
There are noue so blind as those who
w 11 not see !
Tne g •ntlsmrn siys I am “persecut

openly and publioly in ccurt, after a

that if be, Il oodeopile, would agree to
keep bie place cloied up in tbe future
1 would enter a nolle prosequi in tbe
case against him; but no, he would
not do it. Tbe inference I draw i
I that be desires to prejudice tbe mind

GENERAL BOTHA MAY RESIGN
The Siege of M.feking to Be Raised.
Americans Taking Steps to Repudia'e
Webster Davis’ Statements.
London, May 14.—A1l the experts
agree to all appearances that the Free
Staters have severed their military
nilianoe with the Tranmal, though
scattered bodies may possibly hold out
here and there. At the same time a
dlspatob from Cape Town, dated today,
•ays that a proclamation will be pub
lished this week annexing the Orange
Free State, and it ia also said that Gen.
Botha (oommandsr of the Boer forces)
threatens to resign if any preparations
are made for a wanton destruction of
property.
A correspondent of the Iteuter Tele
graph company at Cape Town says the
Amerloan residents are taking steps to
repudiate the etatements of Webster
Davis, the former United States in
surant secretary of the interior, who
recently visited South Africa.
News from Mafeking is expected
speedily. The war offioe is reported
to have expressed the opinion that
they are now raising the siege. It's
expected on Wednesday.

tlnne to run hie place wide open, and
thus oorapel others In same line of
buaineaa to do likewise and run the
risk of also violating the law. But be
says I .must prosecute every one vio
latmg the law; and because I have
not done •>, be is not guilty, and
should be acquitted by a jury sworn to
accept and receive the law as charged
by the judge and administer it fairly
and impartially. In answer lo this I
would say that there is a eoTloitor of
the city court of Bums wick whose
eolsmn duty it is to prosecute gene
rally violators of the lajr.J I refer the
reason urged for the acquittal to the
•olioltor of the city court; but 1 also
de ire to say to Mr. H. that if these
public offloes will not do tbeir duty in
this respect I will have something to
•y later on with regard to (hit. If
the Sunday l w is a bd law, ae re
m irked by tbs judge to the jury trying
the oaee, the best way to repeal it is to
•nforoe it strictly.
Now, Mr. Editor, let Mr. H. give
me and the public a little rest in this
matter; let him try his case in court
and notin the newspapers. Ism even
willing to go to the extent and siy
even now, that if he w 11 obey the law
io the future and keep his pi ci of
business olosed on Sundays the proee
cition will end so far ae I am con
oeroed. Now let him come up, or Bhu t
up, and quit tryiDg to pose before the
public as a sainted martyr! 1 w It not
stoop to saorilege in order to appear
witty. An inquiry, however, might
well be injected here: Did Mr. H.
write compose the letter anil poe
try himself, or did lie get someone to
do it for him ?
Now, Mr. Elitor, I am through
wi'h this controversy wi h 11. If he
has anything further to say let him
say it where It ought to be said, and
not make a public apec’aole of himself
in the newspapers.
Very truly,
