The relation of this interest to the welfare and
prosperity of our land is so intimate that its

Unnecessarily checked.
WASHINGTON. September 18th The Secretary
Of state some time ago transmitted TO the Treas
ury Department complaint made by the Chi
nese Minister that certain Chinese females who
arrived al 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 of their outer dress
reluctantly by compulsory orders. After exam
inatiOE of the facts, a reply was made to the
Secretary OF state, stating that females were
searched by male customs officers in the tempo
mry absence of the female Inspectors, and that
there was no personal search, but that females
were compelled to remove from their bodies
certain new and unworn oyercoats which they
wore in addition 10 their usual raiment, for the
evident purpose of smuggling them into the
United States. Furthermore. the report states
that although it was plain from the external
view that these females had on their bodies 4
large quantity of other unnecessary clothing or
other material believed to be smuggled goods
yet the Surveyor did not order their persons to
be searched, for the reason that there was no
Inspectress to perform that duty"
The Cutting Investigation.
Ell PAso, September 15th.-Special Agent
Sedgwlck LEFT yesterday for Washington
Nearly all the work there was to do in the Cut
ting investigation has been done Monday
Scdgwick received Il telegram from home say
ing that his wife was seriously i'll, and he ac-
cordingly went north yesterday. Consul
Brigham was interviewed. and said I'VE have
gone through the ease very thoroughly from one
end to the other, making full notes of every
thing from the records, and we carefully ex-
ahmed the laws bearing on the case and took
great deal of evidence. Mr. Sedgwick has done
his work well, and | am satisfied that thor
ough and exhaustive report of the whole case
will be made
WASHINGTON, September 15th-Secretary Bay
ard says he has not the slightest respect for the
resolutions recently adopted by the Americans
in the City of Mexico, so far, of course, as they
relate to the alleged conduct ofSedgwick. His
suspicion is the story was started to injure Mr..
Sedgwick's representations to the department
in regard to the Cutting case. His personal
character has been assailed, he says, III most
vindicate the conduct of the State Department
in the Cutting case then he supposes the story
will be renewed with all its malice to break the
force of the truth of his report or injure his
credibility.

the savages guarded by three companies of
United States infantry. Although none of them
have been on the warpath since Geronimo broke
loose it is well understood that they were fur
nishing his band with ammunition. and there
was no telling what momeLt they might break
out. For this reason the Government decided
to send them to Florida where they would do
no harm. More than half of the Indians are
squaws and their children, and more repul-
siye and hideOus mass of humanity was never
crowded in an emigrant sleeper before. The
