ANNIE WILSON'S DIAMONDS.
For Second Time They Are Recovered
From q Chinese Thief.

For Second Time They Are Recovered
From a Chinese Thief.
Sam Sing, Chinese cook employed at
Annie Wilson's house of ill-repute on
Washington street, was arrested last even
ing by Detective Cudihee upon a charge of
grand larceny. At first the Monaghan
protested his innocence. but he broke
down later and admitted his guilt.
Ever since Sing went into the employ of
Annie Wilson, about a year ago, the
woman has missed from time to time
various sums of money, which up to the
present time would aggregate probably
$150. About seven months ago she re-
ported to the police the loss of 500 dia-
mond pin and, little later, the loss
of a $75 moonstone brooch. Last January
she again became the victim of this petty
thieving. This time she reported the loss
of two 500 pistols.
The police went to work on the case, but
they could not even find a clue to who the
thief might be, and the matter was almost
forgotten until yesterday. Last evening
Detective Cudihee was given a pointer
that in "Unele Joe's" pawnshop on South
Second street, was a diamond pin on dis
play which very much resembled the pin
stolen from Annie Wilson. The detective
secured the pin and the woman immedi-
ately identified it as her own. The detec-
tive then looked over the articles for sale
in the pawnshop and found the NOON
stone brooch and one of the revOlvers
which had been stolen. "Uncle Joe"
stated that the articles had been sold to
him by Chinaman who gave his name as
Sam Sing and who claimed to be a cook at
Annie Wilson's house
The detective waited to hear no more,
but Immediately hunted up the Chinaman
and placed him under arrest. He has lived
in Seattle about twelve years. The pris-
oner will be arraigned for hearing today
before Justice Won Tobel.
The diamond pin which the Chinaman
is accused of stealing has quite a history.
In the fall of 1886 it was among lot of
iewelry stolen from Annie Wilson by the
notorious Barney Martin, who is now serv
ing out a sentence of fourteen years IN the
penitentiary. After the robbery Martin
fed to Victoria, and was followed by Tay-
lor Holden. Holden was unsuccess-
full in bringing Martin back, but
he frightened the thief into giving
back the jewelry. Martin, thinking that
the woman would not dare have him ar
rested, returned to Seattle and one night
was arrested in a raid made by Bolton
Rogers for opium smoking. Rogers, who
was then a city detective. induced the
woman to prosecute the thief and he was
found guilty of grand larceny and sem
fenced to three years in the penitentiary.
While in the county Jail Martin and sew
eral other prisoners, including Clark and
Davis. each of whom are now serving out
a sentence of thirty-six years, made muir
derous assault on Jailer Pat Farraher in
an attempt to escape. They were all re-
captured. For this assault Martin was
tried and received an additional sentence
of eleven wears.

CONQUEST OF SOUTH AMERICA.
Chilean Ibanez Trying to Show How the
United States Is Achieving 1t.

Chilean Ibanez Trying to Show How the
United States Is Achieving 1t.
BRUSSELS, April 1.-THE Independence
Beige publishes the second article by Max
imlllano Ibanez on the United States, the
South American republics and Europe.
He contends that while the Monroe doc
trine in no way justifies the United States
in interfering with South American affairs,
yet the American government puts the
Monroe doctrine in new shape In order to
bring South America under its thumb.
Ibanez admits that the statesmen OF the
North American Union are far too clever
to think of annexing any South American
territory, as the incorporation OF any Latin
republic would bring about war OF races
that would shatter the Union itself.
Blaine, however, sees with equal clear
ness, says Ibanez, that with its enormous
industries and commercial overprodue-
tons the United States is threatened with
immense dangers, unless it finds fresh
outlet for its products. Therein, he says,
lies the secret of the policy of encroach-
ment toward South America. Ibanez also
contends that the Washington City cabi-
net will never bring the South American
republics to its reciprocity views by the
mere force ofpersuasion, as the American
Latin nations would have to pay the
United States 30 per cent. more for pro-
duce than they pay by purchasing the
same in Europe. He accuses Blaine OF at
tempting something stronger than
persuasion to compel compliance from
South America; insinuates that
the reciprocity treaty with Brazil was
wrested from Fonseca by illegitimate
means; that the United States openly
supported Balmaceda against the national
uprising in order to obtain from Chile
commercial advantages wholly in favor
of the North American union; that the
Republicans will renew it with fresh vigor
if the Democrats do not GUST it from
power; that it will likewise attempt to
coerce Argentine unless the latter COM
bines with Brazil and Chile to resist the
Yankees encroachment.
Lastly, he quotes figures of the English,
French and German trade with South
America to show how deeply these Euro
pean countries are interested in the failure
of the American policy and concludes by
appealing to the governments of France
and Germany to combine with Brazil,
Chile and Argentine to thwart the designs

Concerning the Export of Gold.

NEW York, April 12-Bankers yester-
day were inclined to ridicule the reports
sent from Germany that a number of
wealthy men in this city were sending
gold abroad privately, because they feared
the results of possible silver legislation by
congress. Several reasons were advanced
to show the absurdity of the report. For
one thing it was shown that there had
been no shipments recently large enough
to have any effect either here or abroad; it
was also pointed out that the rich men of
New York did not expect that any silver
bill would be passed, and if the same were
passed, it would not benefit them particu-
larry TO have shortage of gold; besides
this, it would practically be impossible for
movement of this kind to take place
without the knowledge of it coming to the
bankers, and none of those who were seen
yesterday had heard even an intimation
of such a thing.
