the underlying reason for the reported

HIGHBINDERS ON THE WARPATH
Another Outbreak Threatened
in San Francisco.
A Reward of $500 offered for the
Life Of Gam Lee.
The Cause of tho Trouble Il Resent

for Giving Advice not to
Register.

By the Associated Press.l
SAs FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE Ohron-
icle prints an article to the effect that
bloody highbinders' war is about to
break out in Chinatown. Today placards
we're posted throughout the Chinese
quarter, Offering reward OF $500 for
the life OF Gam Lac, president OF
the Sam Yap, the most influential
OF the Chinese elk companies. The
placards created great commotion
among the Chinese, as they were an in
fsllible indication that bloodshed was to
follow. Gam Lee Immediately notified
the police and placed himself under
their protection, and besides caused
counter plaoards to be set up, offering
$500 for Information leading to the dis
covery, arrest and conviction OF his pur'
suers.
The grievances OF the highbinders
against Gam Lee are several, but his
particular offsnss consisted in advice to
all Chinameu not TO register under the
Geary act. His counsel was largely in
strumental in preventing repatriation.
Now that deportation is to be the con-
seqence OF their failure TO comply with
the Law, and that the highbinder and
criminal element expect to be the first
to be expelled from the country, they
propose to hold Gam Lee accountable
for their misfortune. Gam Lee has
always been the active enemy OF lawless
Chinese, and has uniformly assisted the
police in breaking them up.
The police say the highbinders who
we're recently driven out of town, have
returned, and they are confident are
preparing for general onslaught on the
Sam Yap family, which in it's various
ramihcations comprises about one-half
the Chinese in the United States. The
officers are making active preparations
to suppress the outbreak.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE findings
OF the general court-martial convened at
Fort tLeavenworth, Ksnsas, for the trial
OF Captain William s. Johnson (retired)
and the recommendation in the case
were disapproved by President Cleve-
land. The court-msrtial was presided
over by Colonel Forsyth, Seventh cav
airy, and Captain Taylor, Fourth artil-
lery, waa judge advocate general. The
charge was conduct unbecoming an Off
Ger and gentleman, to which were
three specifications. Each specification
gives case In which Johnson became
indebted to persona or banks, which in
debtedness he failed topay. The second
and third specifications state he also du-
plicated pay accounts. The third speci-
feation. the only one on which he was
found guilty, states that johnson as
signed and transferred his pay account
and claim for January, 1893, to two per-
sons. The accounts were presented for
payment by both aeeignees.
Following is an excerpt from Secre-
tary Lamont's order IN the case.
