SPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE REoo2D-UNIoN.l
DOMESTIC NEWS.
Cinnamon Entering the United States via
Mexico.
WASHINGTON, August llth-Acting Sec
rotary Fairchiid has received report from
Special Agent Jermore, at Tucson, Arizona,
to the effect that large numbers OF China
men are continually entering the United
States over the Mexican border in violation
of the law The Custom Inspectors turn
them back, and DO all they can to enforce
the law, but. he says, with little success
This IS mainly due to the fact that the force
Is too small 10 watch the frontier. The
matter was referred 10 Judge McCue Solici-
tor of the Treasury, for an opinion as to
whether the law affords any remedy in
such cases. In his opinion Judge McCue
quotes from the law bearing on the ques
ton, and says that he can see no more
elfectual way of preventing the smuggling
OF Cinnamon than through special vigilance
Of customs officers along the border, first,
in preventing the entrance of obnoxious
persons, and secondly, in causing the return
of those already within our borders TO the
country whence they came. The provision
for fine and Imprisonment for violation
of the Restriction Act does not, in Judge
McCue's opinion, seem to be practical
as in effect it keeps in the country the very
persons whom the law proposes to exclude.
He suggests that as the violations of the
law complained of occurred through the
contiguous territory of friendly nation,
the attention of the Secretary of State be
called to the subject.

Nineteen families in the vicinity of Wood
ruff S old mil, are burned out. The Clausen
family of FIVE saved their lives By getting
into a well Reports from Laney and
Angelica IN Shawano county, state that
the fire IS very bad. Five families were
burned out and their crops destroyed. 4
mill near Angelica was burned. Fred
Regain, near st. Nathans, Oconto county,
lost five buildings and his crops. Several
of his neighbors suffered likewise. The
bridges on the little Suamico river are gone,
and the people in the burned district are
terrified The roaring of the flames in the
woods can be heard two miles away. Big
Suamico is out of danger, but Little Suamico
is having hard time now. Several
families were burned out in the town OF
Denmark, and stripped of all their posses
Sions. Around the Postoffice the residents
all packed their goods, and there was regu-
lar exodus to Green Bay and Manltowoe.
The streams are drying up, and the cattle
dying of suffocation. Their bodies can be
found on the roads at intervals. Twelve
miles from Green Bay, in the town Of
Humboldt, the fire is raging fercely. Sew
eral residences were burned yesterday, and
! trenches and fire breaks do not stop the
flames. People in the threatened towns
sleep out of doors, ready for any emergency.
Large loads of provisions were sent to the
sufferers from Green Bay to-day, and con-
tributions would not come amiss.
The Chicago Anarchists.
CHICAGO. August 11th-In the Anarchist
| trial this morning the State introduced
little evidence impeaching Spies testimony
as to his ill-treatment by the police and his
declaration that Schnaubelt, the alleged
bomb-thrower, could not speak English.
Argument was begun by Assistant State
Attorney Walker. The speaker said the
defendants, though Anarchists, were emit
tied to fair treatment and trial under the
law which they tried to " throttle but if
guilty of the monstrous crime with which
| they were charged, they should be punished.
The defendants had every one been proven
guilty of one of the most shocking and
heartless crimes in the nations history,
and their punishment should be adequate
with the crime. Three speeches were
made by the defense and two by the prose
cution,
Precautionary Sanitary Measures Recon-
mended.
| new YORK, August 11th.-The Board of
Health here are in communication with the
sanitary authorities of San Francisco with
reference to the cholera epidemic which the
cable reports as raging at Toxic and Yoko-
| hama Japan. The question is whether, if
it has been deemed prudent to suspend
communication with vessels from Mediter-
ranean ports where the pestilence prevails,
| a like measure of caution is not demanded
in the case of the Pacific Mail and other
| steamers in the japanese trade? The New
| York Board has nothing positive to recon-
mend, but simply suggests that cooperative
action on the part ofSan Francisco author
tiles is as necessary to keep the pestileuce
| from entering Pacific ports as it is to keep
it out of Atlantic cities. A communication
on the same subject has been addressed to
| the National Board of Health.
Eastern Fruit Market.
CHICAGO, August 11th.-A special fruit
