TwENrY-EIaHT IMMIGRANTS PREVENTED FROM
LANDING

TWTNTY-EIGHT IMMIGRANTS PREVENTED FROM
LANDING.
Genera, James r. O'Beirne CONTINUES his watchful
ness against the pauper Russian Hebrews who are
coming here by every incoming steamer. Yesterday
twenty eight who had been landed from the steam
shin state of Georgia, debarred from landing.
The affidavit Of one of these unfortunates tells the
tale of all Of them. Leba Stein, aged twenty eight
blacksmith stated that he had lived in Reiza Russia,
and three years ago had moved to Ostrov. fIe with
his wife and two children, had few months ago been
driven out Of that township and ordered back TO Reza
lie left his family with relatives and tried to cross the
Russian frontier but made prisoner. While in
prison man OF authority came TO him and asked him
if he wished to emigrate TO America. on his assent
ing he was sent to Meruel then to Hamburg and event
ualy to Glasgow which port he sailed for this
country.
On July 10 General O'Belrne received the following
letter from Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury A. b.
Nettleton:
"a letter from the Department Of state dated the
7th inst, transmits copy OF dispatch from the
American Minister IN London, who draws attention to
n dispatch from the British Minister at Berlin from
which il appears that strenuous efforts being made
by a British official and prominent member Of a
Jewish social organization to divert from England the
cxpatriated Russian Jews who are at present enter
ing Germany at the rate OF 700 day, by warning
them that the labor market in England is already over
stocked, and advising them to go either to Palestine
or America.
In case it should be decided to bring this matter
to the attention of foreign Governments
it would be essential that this Depart
ment be we'll informed of all particulars
where 1t is found that any such immigrants are arFv
ing at ports. You therefore requested to
question closely any such Russian Jews who may
arrive immigrants at your port and If you find any
who have been diverted from their original destination
to this country by foreign officials, you will take and
record such testimony, together with the names ana
official rank OF persons who active In the matter
and promptly report the fact 10 this Department"
IL is owing TO this letter that the twenty eight
Hebrews have been detained, for they all had money
enough to land with.
