Another charge against Neely is that he has defrauded the customs out of several thousand dollars* worth of duties by importing nomi? nally fur post use large quantics of paper which was afterward sold to a printing house in Havana. The Cubans are now beginning to talk a good deal regarding postal matters, the main idea apparently be? ing that the Americans, having found so many of their countrymen Irapli* rated, viii not proceed to ext remit irs. l'he Cultana do not believe that Neely Bill be extradited. With the ennfes lions of beeves and Hich supplcmcnt ?d by those of the stamp clerks and ?y the statements 0/ the BarSCOS tost master, it is considered that the ?.idem"- against Neely ls complete, ' specially in view of the assertion of Jeeves that Hie stamps were not de- , troyed ..'hen they were supposed to ( *>.

A'ilh regard to the contention that ? enactment of a law to extradite ely would be retroactive, Judge y said: 'As I understand thc law, it is rely a question of procedure.
