MIGHT HAVE LED TO WAR.
DETAILS OF THE LOWER CALI
FORNIA CONSPIRACY.

The Mexican Land and Colonization
Company Intended co Follow the
Plan of tho British East India Com
pany in Causing Strife and Securing
a Protectorate.
SAN Francisco, CAL, June 5.-The
Chronicles special from San Diego says:
1.-THE investigation being made into the
proposed filibustering expedition against
Lower California continues to reveal start
ling facts and new phase is now put upon
the affair. From the evidence furnished
from agents Of the Mexican Land and Col
onization Company it appears that the
president of the company had in view a
plan to annex the peninsula to the British
Empire by pursuing the policy that was
followed by the East India Company when
Great Britain acquired her possessions in
Asia. IL was designed to COLOMBO Lower
California and secure concessions from the
Mexican government, and then to provoke
strife and foment Discussions.
ENGLAND's INTEREST.
English capital and interests would then
be jeopardized and the Intervention of the
mother country was 10 be invoked. Proof
OF this statement of the agents of the COM
pany, substantiated by documentary evil
dence, has been secured. Mai Scott, man
ager of the company, assured the filibusters
that two English men-of-war would be in
the vicinity of Ensanada off the coast when
the republic was to be declared. As soon as
the declaration of the Independence of the
new government had been proclaimed these
war vessels were to enter the harbor and
recognize the new nation.
A NUCLEUS FOR AN ARMY.
"Maj. Scott also stated that the nucleus
of an army was already in Lower Cali
fornia, stored in the warehouse of an English
company at Ensenada. Three cases of
rifles were shipped to Ensenada, billed to an
English company, some time ago. Maj.
Scott supposed that after the republic had
been established the United States govern
ment would join with the Mexican govern
ment in suppressing the invaders, then
Great Britain would be appealed to to pro-
tect the interests Of her subjects, and would
establish protectorate over the peninsula.
SCOTS PARTICIPATION.
"This, up to the present developments, is
as far as Maj. Scott is implicated in the
affair. This much may be proved by cor
respondence over his own signature. 1t all
goes TO show that Maj. Scott was only using
the American conspirators, Smith, Merrill,
Worthington and others, to give the plot
an appearance of being an American move
ment.n

A FEDERAL ELECTION Law.
The Republicans Discuss the Matter
in Caucus.

The Republicans Discuss the Matter
In Caucus.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-For the tenth
time this session the republican members of
the House were in caucus tonight. The
occasion was the pending propositions to
enact a federal election law, which had
already formed topics for discussion at tue
two preceding caucuses. The attendance
was small and the proceedings were lacking
action.
The Lodge and Rowell bills form an en-
tire federal election bill, and the latter
measure, proposing wide extension of the
supervisory system, was laid before the
caucus and thoroughly discussed. The
southern members generally favored the
Lodge bill as a more powerful remedial
measure, and it was supported by Messrs.
Lodge, McComas, Greenhalge, Henderson
Of Iowa and Houk.
RowRLL's ARGUMENT.
Mr.. Rowell made an earnest argument In
support of his bill and he was aided in his
advocacy by Messrs. Allen of Michigan,
Payne and Frank. The drift Of opinion
among western men seemed also to be in
favor of the Rowell bill as one not so radi-
