ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
A Satisfactory Explanation.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The Secretary
Of State some time ago transmitted to the
Treasury Department a complaint made
by the Chinese Minister that certain Chi
nese females who arrived at San Francisco
on the steamer San Pablo were on their
landing searched all over their persons by
male customs officers at the wharf in the
presence of many spectators, and some OF
them had to take off their outer dress re-
luctantly by compulsory orders. After an
examination of the facts a reply was made
to the Secretary of State, stating that the
females were searched by male customs Of.
icers in the temporary absence OF a female
inspector; that there was no personal
search, but that the females were compelled
TO remove from their bodies certain new
and unworn overcoats, which they wore in
addition TO their usual raiment for the evil
dent purpose of smuggling into the United
States. Furthermore, the report states
that although it was plain from an exter-
nal view that these females had on their
bodies;a large quantity of other unnecessary
clothing or other material believed to be
smuggled goods, yet the Surveyor did not
order them searched, for the reason that
there was no inspectress to perform that
duty.

train OF ten coaches from the south bear
ing the Chiricahua and Warm Springs
Apaches from the San Carlos reservation
in Arizona to Florida passed here. There
were 400 of the savages. They were
guarded by three companies of United

were furnishing his band with ammuni-

and hideous mass of humanity were never
