cities of Italy, is causing increased
alarm and anxiety, as another batch
arrived to-day and large number of
others are being shipped. The Con-
sul-General said in regard to the mat
ter that the luggage of only one person
was sent on. He was detained in pris-
on in Paris, and when he reached here

States is given any man who cannot
prove he has sufficient means to sup
port himself for some time, or that he
has relatives here who are in comfort
able circumstances. The necessity of
passports, even the destination in pass
ports is easily eluded at this time; in
in fact many of these people have pass
ports for Buenos Ayres, and they come
here.
