To Annex Lower California.

San FRANcrsco, Jue "a Chronicle spe-
oial from San Diego says: The in nvestiga-
tion of the proposed filibustering expedition
against Lower California continues to reveal
startling facts and new phase is now put
upon affairs. From evidence furnished by
agents of the Mexican Land 4 Colonization
company it appears that the president of
the company had in view plan to annex
the peninsula to the British empire 1t was
designed to colonixe Lower California and
secure concessions from the Mexican gov
ernment and then foment dissension.
English capital and interests would then be
jeopardized and the Intervention of the
mother country was to be invoked. The
proof of this statement is substantiated by
letters written by Major Scott, manager Of
the company.

AMERICAN CATTLE.

No Prospect of the Removal Of Restric-
tions bv England.
LONDON, June 5.-A deputation from Scot
land visited Chaplin, minister of agricul-
ture, to-day and asked him to modify the re-
striction against the importation of Ameri-
can cattle. The chief arguments in sup
port of their request we're the scarcity of
cattle in Great Britain and the absence of
pleuro-pneumonia in America. Chaplin
said the bulk of the farmers OF Great Bri-
tain favored the restriction and he would
be unable to hold out the slightest hope of
any modification of the present regulations
governing the Importation of cattle, even if
cattle in America were entirely free from
disease.
