SAN Francisco, July 19.-The Occi-
dental and Oriental Company's steamer
Gaelic left this afternoon for China and
Japan with avery large cargo. She had on
board ten cabin passengers and 1873 Chi
nese, including 154 who registered on
the dock, ten captured at Tucson and
sent by the government, nine who came
on vessel and were refused landing,
and ten in transit from Havana.
Some That Didn't Sail.
Writs of habeas corpus were taken out
this morning for fourteen of the twenty5
four Chinese brought here from Arizona
to be returned to China. The conten-.
tion is that they should be sent to Mex
leo. They were taken to the circuit
court and the case postponed until Mon
day, thus preventing their being sent
away on the steamer Gaelic, as had been
intended. The other ten sailed on her,
however. If the court decides that the
fourteen must be sent to Mexico they
will be shipped to Acapulco. OF the
trip and were refused landing, twenty
w
and the two others permitted to land.
Chinese From Panama
The steamer San Bias arrived this
afternoon from Panama and way ports,
bringing twenty-four cabin, thirty white
steerage, and twenty-six Chinese pas
sengers. The latter are all in transit
from Hongkong. The San Bias was due
here on the 18th, but she left Panama
rather late, and on the trip up lost a
blade off her propeller, causing delay.
After discharging, she will go on the dry
dock to receive new blade.
The China's Cargo.
The China, which arrived today,
brought silk and tea. Three carloads of
raw silk were sent east by passenger
train via the Central Pacific and Union
Pacific railroads tonight. Seven hun
dred and fifty tons OF tea will be for.
and tomorrow.
A Graceful Cruiser.
The new cruiser San Francisco came
off the Hunters Point dry dock this
afternoon, and was towed to the north
ward of Mission rock, where she
dropped her anchor. She looks more
graceful in the water than the Charles
ton did.

by President Baldwin, of the San Fran
cisco produce exchange, to Congressman
Clunie, Washington, D. c.: "Please
see the proper authorities and request
that United States snag boat be i'm
mediately set to work in the Sacramento
