How this substitution could have been overlocked by the re- presentatives of the auditora who have been making a constant check and examination of the stamps and cash account of the Bureau and other property is a puzzle to many. The only explanation forthcoming last night from the auditors who conducted this examination was that they did not notice It."
The general opinion among officials last night was that the loss in a counterpart of the prior substitution" of the two-peso stamps valued at Pesos 217,950. While there is such opinion rela- tive to the second loss, the possibi- lity of the substitution having been made subsequently is admit- ted."
Immediately upon the discovery of the loss of the one-peso stamps, Secretary Perez Instructed Acting. Director Ruiz to send rush, tele- grams to the provinces to suspend the sale of stamps of this deno- mination and to send to Manila ull (Continued from Puge 1.)
