Eugineer Officers and Contractors Said 40 Have Been Robbing the Government. Savaxvan, Ga., May 31.—Charges of whole- @ale robbery of the United States government by the river and harbor improvement contrac- tors, Benj. D. Green, John M. Gaynor, and their associates, are made by W. BR. Cartis, who has been an assistant United tates engineer off and on since 1872. ‘The contractors have had the principal con- tracts for deepening the harbors of Savannah, Charleston, Brunswick, Fernandina and Jack- sonville since 1882. In 1882 Green resigned his commission in the army. He was engaged then in work on the Savannah river. He bid for the contracts, but was underbid b; Burnett, now United States engineer at Frank- — Ky.

Gilmore for several years — to 1885. Last July while engaged at innati in government work, Curtis ac- cepted an invitation of Lieut. O. M.

In February he says Green - proached him and told him if he would acce; appointment by Carter as inspector he wot a ve him €50a month extra, Curtis reported & offer to Carter, and after an interview with yam and Carter he resigned, and is now doing engineering work for the city of Savan- nah. He declares that money appropriated for this harbor is grossly misapplied, and the improvements claimed by Carter do not exist. He says that Green told him that he got Carter to move Inspector G. W. Brown in 1886 to Fer- nandina, and his successor was worth 2604 day to him more; that if Curtis would accept the inspectorship he would soon be taken into —— with his firm, which expected to do business in Peru and Chili, and that Lieut. Carter intended to resign in a few months and go in with them. Curtis’ statements have aroused public opinion. It is hoped the gov- ernment will institute an investigution.

Loxpox, May 31.—At the sitting of the Par- nell commission to-day Mr. Reid, of the Par- nellite counsel, stated that inquiry had resulted in the finding of thirty books belonging to the national league, which would be produced in court.

Wavertows, N. ¥., May 31.—Further partic- ular. have been received about the barge Ba- varia, one of the Calvin's boats that was re- ported stranded on Galloup Island. It seeems that when the barge struck the shoal, the crew, eight persons in all, took toa small boat, but on account of the terrific gale they could not reach the island and were lost.” They were seen at one time by a passing tug clinging to their yawl. The tug could not render any as- sistance. The yawl was afterward seen float- ing with no person in her. Permission had to be obtained from the Treasury department, at Washington, before any wrecking assistance could be sent to the barge. When she was reached they found her in very good condition, with scarcely any water in the hold.
