AN AMERICAN CAPTAIN

Sentenced for Smuggling by the Mexican
Authorities and Hts Ship Confiscated.
Some time since Capt. George Caleb, of the
United States schooner Adriana, was arrested
at La Paz, Mexico, and tried by the Mexican
authorities upon q charge of smuggling. He
was found guilty and sentenced to five years
imprisonment and his ship was confscated.
Representative Rosecrans, of California,
recently wrote two letters to Secretary Chand-
Ter calling his attention to this case, and sug-
gesting that IL was proper subject for in
quiry. Secretary Chandler referred the let
ters to the State department., and Mr.. John
Davis, acting secretary Of state, has made
reply to Gen. Rosecrans, in which he says:
/ have the honor to reply. to two Letters, dated
the second and twenty-third ultimo, addressed by
you to the secretary OF the navy in relation to the
case Of Capt George Caleb, of the schooner Adri-
ana, at La Paz. Mexico and which have been re-
ferred 10 this department for consideration.
The case Of Capt. Caleb has had the continued
and earnest attention Of this department since
the news OF the seizure OF the Adriana and the
Imprisonment of her crew was first received here,
and every effort has been made In his behalf,
through the United States legation in Mexico and
the consulate at La Paz.
The department has only recently been put in
possession of the judicial sentences in the case
condemning the captain to five years imprlson-
ment and the vessel TO confsCation. prlmh
facie case of guilt appears to have been made
out, but the urgent protests and denials OF
the unfortunate man, and the apparent sever
ity OF imposing the maximum sonlenc.
in his case, while the alleged Mexican accom-
plices have been allowed to escape, have strongly
enlisted the sympathes of the government in
Captain Caleb's behalf, and the President has di-
rected that competent officer OF the department
be dispatched TO La Paz with Instructions 10 make
full invcstigation Of the case on the spot The
United states minister, Mr.. Morgan, has alsU been
directed TO watch the proceedings in appeal
which have been instituted, aud to afford Capt
Caleb nil proper aid in his defense, employing
counsel II necessary.
The investigation at La Paz will be con-
ducled by Mr.. Horatio N. Beach, lato consul
of the United States at Puerto Cabelo compe-
tent officer, on whose impartial judgment this de-
pnrtment places reliance,

Take Your Choice.

1t is stated with truth that some Of our
fashionable tailors must charge exorbi-
tant prices for goods to cover their losses
in bad debts, while the cheap flash GUS
tom shops require cash deposit on every
order, which they pocket if their victim
cannot stand the clothes made for him.
We do exactly the reverse, by acting
as money savers to our customers, who
are seldom very rich, but who always pay
us cash down upon our legal agreement
that the money is considered deposit,
subject to their order should they return
our clothing uninjured.
We sell goods at such prices and of
such quality as must commend us to the
economical and thrifty, be they rich or
poor-in other words, we depend upon
the merits of our clothing and the fair
ness of our business methods for our
success.
