CHICAGO, August ii ,h.-A special from
Washington says: The Treasury Depart
ment received communication from ColIec-
tor Webster, Of Baltimore. Md, asking for
Instructions relative to the landing of party
OF Chinese laborers from Cuba en- route to
San francisco. and thence home. Acting
Secretary French, IN reply, informed him
that the Chinese bill positively prohibits the
entry of Chinese at any ports of the United
States. and directed Collector Webster to re.
fuse the privilege of landing this class of pas
sengers at Baltimore. 1t is stated that there
are between 400 and 500 Chinese on board the
boat whose Captain made the request, and &C
cording to his orders from the Department
Collector Webster will decline to acconmo-
date the Captain, who will have to leave port
and his cargo of Mopsoli sns will have to
make a sea voyage TO San Francisco instead
OF going overland through the United States
Two requests of the same nature as that made
TO Collector Webster have been decided ad
versely by the Treasury Department, and it
appears that the law is to be rigidly en-
forced.
