of receipts and expenditures of Cuba:
Revenues. 1000, $216,312; 1H01. r,67.6S,

Deficit. 1900, $.i;2,65. 1901, $S3,fc03.
".Many expenditures wero necessitated,"
the report says, "because of unwise con
tracts that had been entered Into by those
In chtrgoof tho postal sendee of tho Island
durlnf the preceding fiscal year, and which
could not be abrogated. The Increase In
revenuea Is not due to an Increase In the
postnl business, but to a proper accounting
for moneys rocelved."
The ixpenscB of tho Hnvnna office hava
been reduced from $130,200 per annum to
less than $100,000, despite great Improve
ments, effected.
Tho nggrcgato amount of the penalties of
all bonds now in forco Is about $117,960,72,
of which $23, 715, IMS were approved during
the year. The report recommends tho re
peal of the Juno 20, 1ft98, act on this sub
ject as productive of numerous legal nucs-
tlons, and recommends a law requiring as

tablished and 3,307 discontinued. The later
Item Is an IncrcaRo of 1,125 over tho pre

postmaster' salaries aggregated $79, Mb, to

WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. Tho most Im
portant feature of tho report of tho Hoard
of Visitors to tho West Point Military
academy Is a recommendation Hint tho
arademy bo rebuilt. Tho report says:
"It has been nearly 100 yoars slnco West
Point was founded and from the birth of
tho Institution nearly all the Improve
mcnlB havo been on the patchwork plan,
There Is but one building constructed by
tho government nt thu post that Is In har
mony with this day nnd generation. All
the others nre old, uncomfortable and en
tirely Inadequate to meet present condi
tions. Few of them am equipped with any
of the conveniences to he found In the
average public building In the country dis
tricts In many of tho Btatcs. It can be
truthfully said that there Is a pressing
necessity for a complete tearing down and
a new building up.
"Putting the matter In a few words, It
ran he truthfully said that the barracks In
which tho cadets sleep and study and live,
when not in recitation rooniB or on tho
drill ground, are little better equipped than
the barracks at the average county poor
house, In many of the rooms the cadets
am crowded. The ventilation of these
rooms Is In accordance with hygienic, no
tions of a century ago and is simply ex
ecrable" Features of the present arrangement
which are specially condemned are the
electric light and gas plants; no water or
sanitary arrangements In the barracks and
no bathrooms; tho lack of church facilities
and the hotel, which Is described as "a
mere hut." The water supply also Is
threatened and a water famine Is imminent
nearly every summer.
The report says the board Is satisfied
that hazing has been eradicated. Full
credit Is given to Colonel Mills for this.
Tho report aUo says that the sturdy sup
port given Colonel Mills by tho secretary
of war haa done much to establish nnd se
euro discipline on a sound basis.
It Is recommended that tho academy Im
provided with n modern sencoast buttery
and modern mountain buttery for the In
struction of tho cadets.
The board recommends that the pay of
the endcta, which Is now $540 n yenr each,
be Increased $69 ft year, to be equal to that
of naval cadets,

CHICAGO. N.,v. 12.--On the thai-go of
contempt of coiirt Judge Hanecy sentenced
Andrew W. Lawrence, managing editor of
Hearst's Chlcaco American, to four days In
the county Jail The sentence of II. 8.
Canflcld, who wrote tho article objection
able to tho court, was fixed at thirty days
In Jail. The cases against S. S. Carvalbo,
financial manager of the paper, and John C.
Hammond, assistant city editor, were dls
misted. Judge Hanecy declared that the
rases against W , Hearst, owner Homer
Davenport, cartoonist, nnd Clare Hrlggs,
also a cartoonist, would pend until such
tlmo as these respondents tould be brought
Into court by the sheriff. Former Governor
Altgeld, one of the counsel for the re
spondents, entered n formal exception to
tho decision.
"This case. I may say," the court re
marked, "Is not appealable. You mny file
a bill of exceptions for n writ of error,
however. I am willing to delay the solv
ing of papers un Mr. Lawrence and Mr.
Cnnfleld till you have drnwn your bill."
"We do not feel that we have any favor
coming from this court." Mr. Allgcld an
swered. "We are much obliged."
The court room was crowded when Judge
Hanecy read the decision. The article upon
which the proceedings In contempt were
based was a criticism of tho court's decision
on application for the forfnlture of the char
tervof the People's Gns and Coke company.
Judge Hanecy said If the matter puhllhed
were allowed to go unnoticed by the court
It paved the way for other attacks, and that
the Judiciary, If not held In respect, would
fall, with all democratic government. The
article, the court declared, was not merely
an attack on the people nnd on Ihe court,
but a bold threat to every other court. It
therefore should not go unpunished.
A few minutes after the rendering of the
decision and the Imposition of the sentences
as to Lawrence and Canflcld, Judge Dunne,
upon application, Issued n writ of habeas
corpus as to them, returnable Immediately.

BATES TALKS OF ARMY WORK
TlUriisse Prospective- Action of llonril
to Consider Inland Post anil
llesrrratlons.
General John C. BateR, In command of the
Department of the Missouri, has received
notice from tho secretary of war to report
at Washington on or before November L'5,
whero ho Is to serve on a board nt nrii
army officers to consider matters pertaining
to iniana posts and reservations,
"I don't know what the scope of tho
board may be." said tho general yesterday,
"nor do I know what recommendations,
If nny, it will make touching the post of
thin department. However, It Is not likely
that any more posts will hn cstshlfniinH in
this department. Some may bo abandoned,
untie tno capacity of others may be In
creased or diminished aa circumstances re
quire. "As I understand It the board will con
sider such questions as the location of
camps authorized under a recent act of con
gross for the Instruction of soldier, in ih
regular army and national guard. We havo
now in this department two military
schools, one an Infantry and cavalry achool
at Fort Leavenworth and th nthat- ..hi
of casralry and light artillery at Fort Riley.
it is (icsirabio that a considerable force- be
stationed at both of these schools In order
that they may avail themselves of tho In-
strustlon.
"Then It may tako up the question of in
creasing and .diminishing tho facilities of
various army posts, making such changes
ns best to meet the demands of the coun
try. Things are In an unsettled state now
and havo been since tbe various garrisons
were ordered to the front at the beginning
of tho Spanish-American war. and It Is nec
essary to reconstruct. Troops perhaps will
bn transferred from one post to another,
tho objects being to locate them where they
can ho best taught, where they can be most
economically maintained and where they
can be most quickly nnd conveniently
moved. Then, of course, they must be sta
tioned with reference to the assurance of
protection they will afford to settlers near
Indian reservHtlons and the frontiers.
"It Is not llkoly that these duties will
keep mo at Washington a great while,- and
so far as I know no one has been ordered
to tako temporary command of this depart
ment In my absence. It may be that I will
bo directed to command my department
from there."
Tho board of which General Hates will bo
a member will comprise Lieutenant General
Nelson A. Miles, Major Generals John R.
Hrooke, Hlwell S. Otis, S. M. H. Voung, Ar
thur MncArthur. Brigadier Generals John
C Hates. John M. Randall and William A.
