fined in a Mexican prison at Chihuahua

been absent for many months, and they
have been surprised at not hearing from
him. for they supposed he was IN Pitts
burg.
About q month ago they received letter
from him which was mailed in Mexico,
and had been long on its way. The letter
told a pathetic story of his imprisonment
and suffering. 1t stated that he had been
in solitary confinement in prison at Chl-
huahUa since the 16sh OF last January. lie
had g partner in business at Chlhuenua,
and the letter states that on the loth OF
January be and his partner, whose name IS
Espondo, had some trouble, during Wnlch
Espondo attempted 10 stab him. DE grew
a revolver and fired at Espondo, but did
not hi him. For this RaineY was ar
rested and kept in solitary confinement on
short rations until the 18th OF August
without being given trial, or being per-
mitted 10 communicate with the Consul or
with anyone in the outside world.
On the 10Th of August he was given
trial, which consisted of statement by the
prosecution, and sentenced to two years
and two months in solitary confinement.
Rainey tried to bride one OF the guards to
take q letter to the American Consul. but
the Guards courage failed, and the letter
was not delivered. Later he succeeded in
bribing guard to get letter mailed to his
fsmily in this city, which was finally re-
ceived.
The matter was at once reported to the
Secretary of State, and Mr.. Ryan was d.
rected to make an investigation. Mr..
Ryan's report came yesterday. 1t contained
substantially the same facts stated in the
letter received by Mr.. Rainey's family, and
prompt action to secure his release is being
taken.

and he replied that he would start at once
for Mexico, where he will be met by Minis

New YORK, September 27th.-Irving II.
Scott President of the Union Iron Works
at San Francisco, who has been in the city
several days perfeciing arrangements for
his bid on the new ships, has gone TO
Washington to attend the opening of the
bids on Wednesday. The bids include
three big battle ships and swift triple
screw commerce destroyer, for all of which
Congress has appropriated $4,000, 600.
Scott is Justly proud of the work done by
the San Francisco, which was built in his
yards, and he expresses the hope that the
Western coast may have further oppor-
tunity 10 demonstrate its superiority in
building the new vessels. Scott is not
alone in the field, his competitors being
the Cramps of Philadelphia and the Bath,
Me. Iron Works. The Presidents of ali
these companies are now at Washington
preparing the final estimates. II is thought
not unlikely that the vessels will be d.
vided among the four best bidders, by
which means the quickest work can be
secured and relative superiority compared.
STEAMSHIPS LAUNCHED.
PHILADELPHIA, September 27th.--The

An Effort to Rave One Stationed at San
Diego.
WASHINGTON, September 27th.-General
Cadwallader, of San Diego, who has been
here several weeks working to secure the
establishment of military post at that
point, is very much gratified at the pros
poets. and thinks bill will pass at the
next session.
Generals Miles, Howard and Grierson
have each recommended the establishment
of military post at San Diego, and now it
is learned that Secretary Proctor favors it.
First Assistant Secretary of War Grant
saws that at the time of the reported Lower
California filibustering scheme there seemed
prospect of trouble there. President Har-
rison sent for him lin the absence of Secre-
tary PROCTOR, and asked what sort of
military force could be mustered at San
Diego on short notice and in case of great
emergency. Grant explained the situation
to him, and the President said that there
should be by ell means military post in
the extreme lower end of California.

Opinion of a New York Journal on Miz-
ner's Action.
New YORK. September 27th.--The Tri6'
une says The State Department, in con-
sidering the Barrundia affair, will be en-
barrassed by Bayard's ruling in the Gomez
case. According to this ruling, Miner
was justified in advising Pitts surrender OF
Barrundia, but he must have been aware
of the fact that Bayard's ruling, while in
conformity with International law, was
not in accord with the recognized princi-
pies of international comfy in Central
American affairs. For thirty years the Pa
cifc Mail steamers have been protecting
political offenders in Central American
ports. The practice has been sanctioned by
every Government in the peninsula. Min
lister Mizner has sacrificed the international
comfy and shocked the moral sense of the
people of Central America. His interyer-
ton was wholly unnecessary.

New Tactics Employed to Enter the

New Tactics Employed to Enter the
United States.
WASHINGTON, September 27th.-The Col
lector of the Port at San Diego writes to
General Cadwallader that new scheme OF
smuggling Chinese into California is in
vogue in that section. He says the Chi
nese are landed on the Mexican coast by
ocean steamers and from there taken to the
California coast by what are generally up-
derstood to be fishing vessels, but which
are really engaged in contraband trade.
They lie out few miles from shore all day
long and pretend to be fishing, and at
nightfall put into shore and land the Chi
nese.
He says that great difficulty IS expert
enced in dealing with this form of SNUG
Cling. and recommends the Government to
purchase fast steam launch for the pur..
pose of running down such contraband
boats.

PrrTsBuRe, September 27th.-A special
from Braddock, Pa, says: Notice was

is an idea of Andrew Carnegie, who has
always been opposed to young labor. The
order will affect many widows, who depend
on their sons for support. Some 250 boys
at Braddock and over 100 at Homestead will
be discharged in accordance with the order,
