HOLLOW PRETENsES.
How Three Cinnamon Tried to Bride
San Francisco Officials.
SAN FRANcIsco, May 3d.-Three China
men who were brought TO this city on the
steamer Gaelic, and ostensibly bound for
attempt last night to corrupt Customs Cap
tain Williams by offering a large bribe for
permission to escape from the steamer
The attempt was made about 10 o'clock
last night by one OF the three, China
man who speaks English fiuently. Pre-
tending to have something especially in
teresting to say to Captain Williams, he
boldly offered to pay 500 in cash for each
of the three the moment they we're out OF
the Sheds
Captain Williams, though surprised at
the gall displayed by the Chinaman, APP
peared to assent to the proposition and ac-
cepted $50 as bonus for the service, and
which was silly slipped into his hands.
Too late the three heathens found that their
scheme was not clever enough. They were
all seized and hustled into one of the rooms
of the steamer and locked up for further
orders.
What action to take under the circum.
stances puzzled the Collector, and the case
was submitted to United States District
Attorney Carey for his consideration.
This exposure settles forever the hollow
pretensions of the hundreds of Cinnamon
who are en- route to Mexico, and exposes
their true destination.
Secretary WINDOWS order denying per.
mission for Cinnamon to enter who are en-
route to near Mexican ports came none toe
early.
