CHARLES A. GARTER,
Uuied States Attorney.
Sworn and subscribed this 11th day OF May.
A. D., 1891, before me,
Commissioner Of the United States Circuit Court,
Northern District OF California.
COLONEL CARRIERS STATEMENT.
United States District Attorney Garter
was seen at his Office yesterday afternoon
aud was asked for some definite infOrma-
tiOn in regard to the arrest of X. Trumbull,
the Chilean emISSaTy, and OF what steps he
intended TO take in the matter of legal pro-
ceedingS. Mr. Garter said he was full of
the subject and would like to talk freely,
but lie was obliged 10 refrain at present for
fear Of showing his hand to the other side.
1t seemed TO him that Mr.. Trumbull was in
no hurry to get before the United States
Commissioner nor the federal courts, and SO
far as the District Attorney was concerned
the action suited his purpose admirably.
All the preliminary steps IN the case had
been taken with fun knowledge and con-
sen; OF the central authority at Washington,
which was fully prepared to deal with the
case whenever it was ready to be taken into
court.
So far as Mr.. Trumbull is concerned he is
still at the Palace Hotel, but IS inclined to
be reticent concerning the entire matter
AN INDIGNANT DENIAL.
In the first place." he said last night,
" am not Senator, as stated in some Of
the morning papers, nor am l Harvard man.
l am a deputy in Congress. or, what you
would call IN tnls country, a representative,
and am a graduate Of Yale. The CALL
quoted me correctly in both particulars. In
fact tile latter paper is the only one that /
had granted an interview since my arrival
10 San Francisco, and the only one that had
any right 10 quote me at all One morning
paper described me as a black-w his kered
man, and charged me with having admitted
that l had acted as agent for the insurgents,
when is absolutely false. As | SAID yeNteT-
day | knew nothing of the existence Of the
Robert and Minnie until | saw her name in
print. Until my case comes up for exami-
nation, however, / do not feel that l can
afford to talk. There is absolutely no proof
against me, nor can any be obtained, and
so far as the outcome Is concerned am
resting perfectly easy"
WILD RUMORs.
In the meantime all sorts of stories are
going the rounds, and innumer,b ble Sus-
picious vessels have been discovered in
and about the haTbOr Of San Francisco
Detectives enough 10 supply Scotland Yard
are guarding the water front, and mYSteT-
Gus sch0Oners are anchored about in Out-Of-
the way places awaiting the arrival Of GER
tain hypothetical caTg0es OF rifles and car
tridEes en- route from the East. Should all
prove true, there can be no doubt that the
Chilean insurgents will be amply supplied
with fighting materials and will need to
make no further purchases for generation
or two. The truth of the matter, probably,
is that the Itata, which is now pursuing the
even tenor Of her way southwark, carried
with her about all that was needed at
present
NOT A WAR VESSEL.
ripple Of excitement was also created
yesterday when the steamer Australia ar
rived in port about noon and reported hav-
ing sighted q war vessel about fourteen
miles off. and it was stated that the vessel
was either the Omaha or the Charleston 1t
seems strange that black-painted square
rigged vessel of the 0maha's description
should be cOnfounded with the Charleston,
which is very different class of vessel, car
ries no yards and is painted white The
probabilities are that the vessel sighted was
no man-of-war at all, but the cOal-laden
ship Blue Jacket, which entered the harbOr
during the afternoon.
