Heavy DefalcatiOn of the Amer
lean Consul at Shanghai.

Los Angeles, CADA., September %
&. Wiley Wells, of this city, is in re-
ceipt of a letter from Col. Mosby, Consul
at Hong Kong, by the last Chinese
steamer, which will be published in the
Journal tomorrow, TO the effect that be-
fore the name OF Bailey, late Consul at
Hong Kong, was sent to the Senate for
confirmation as Consul at Shanghai, the
Secretary of State was in possession OF
Mosby's dispatch charging Bailey with
being defaulter TO the government 10
the amount of $4,000 or $4,000, with
the record in evidence sustaining the
charge that not until after Bailey's con-
firmation and Mosby's dispatch had
been printed in the Washington papers
did lhe Secretary Of State take nOtice.oi
the charges. The department then sent
General Stnhl, Consul at Hioga, japan,
and a friend Seward and Bailey, to in
vestigate the truth of the charges made
by Mosby. General Stable sought to
have Bailey explain the charges. Stable
has continued his investigations and
has been obliged to report TO the De-
partment that the charges of Bailey's
embezzlement from the Government,
while Consul at Hong Kong, as
made by Mosby are true;
also that Stewards private
Secretary, Holcomb, has written letters
to various officials in China denouncing
Mosby. Also Seward is using his inhu-
ence to shield Bailv and prevent an in
vestigation. There is also evidence
showing that Baily was placed at Shang-
hal TO cover Stewards tracks.
