| KearMeyi~m Among the Cituess.
STOCKTON, March % 1t is re.
ported that the labor troubles are
at the bottom of the Chinese out
break on Union Island; that unem-
ployed Cinnamon there insist on
being employed and on being paid.
1t Is said that the force of about two
hundred Cinnamon at work on the
levees repairing and building was
more than could be profitably en-
ployed, and orders were therefore
given by the white Superintendent
to the Chinese boss to discharge all
but forty. The one hundred and
sixty who were thrown out raised
a row. General Williams shipped
from Sacramento yesterday
to Lathrop a dozen Henry rifles to
be taken in to-day. He asked
Sheriff Cunningham to cooperate
with whatever force he thought
necessary. A warrant was issued
for fifteen of the ringleaders. This
seems to be sort of Kearney move
ment among the Cinnamon.
