BosToN, Sept. 9-There seems to be lit
tie doubt In the minds Of Boston Chinese
but that they will be deported under the
Geary act, and they were more convinced
than ever when some Of the leaders at
Chinatown learned yesterday that the
treasury department had issued orders to
the effect that the deportation Of Chinese
in San Francisco should begin at once
The report from Washin gton. which
states that conferen ce was held between
Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle. Assist
ant Hamlin, Attorney General olney and
Congr essman Gesry, the author Of the
now famous act of legislation which ter
minated In the giving of decision against
the Chinese, was read with much disap-
proval by the leaders Of Chinatown yester-
day.
As soon as the decision was reached As
sstant Secretary Hamlin immediat ely
telegraphed to the collector Of customs at
San Francisco and ordered him to make
arrangements for the deportation of such
Cinnamon as may have been convicted for
the violation Of the Geary Jaw in failing
to register
where the Hitch IL.
There Is only $1,000 at the present time
In the treasury department that can be
used for this purpose, but every cent of
this amount will be spent In deporting
Cinnamon as long as it holds out. After
this amount Is disposed Of nothing fur,
ther can be done till an extra appropria-
tion is made by congress. In deporting
Chinese from California the expense Is
comparatively small, and the amount of
money now on hand, il carefully spent.
will deport over 500 Cinnamon. which will
be only small part of the Chinese popu-
lation of that state.
The Chinese in New England are safe,
especially those of Boston, and are reioic-
ing over the. fact that the amount of
money is so small that the government
will be unable to touch them for some
time. When congress makes an extra ap-
preparation for the purpose of deporting
all the Cinnamon who have not complied
with the law, the officials will find that
the cost of deporting Boston Chinaman
will be quite large item, as the cost
from Boston will be larger than from any
other part of the country, and it Is safe to
say that Boston Cinnamon will be the last
disturbed
But Twenty Have Registered.
In Massachusetts, there are 1000 China
men, and out OF that number only 20 have
registered. In case the government decides
to besir operations In Massachusetts,, 1t
will practically wipe out the Chinese pop
ulation. War has been begun against
them, and unless something unforeseen
obstructs the department. In carrying out
the law the Chinese of New England must
expect their turn to come.
Chinatown, in this city, was alive with
Cinnamon yesterday. and business was
going on as usual. II the leaders had con-
veyed ths news to them, their appearance
did not indicate It, They say when their
turn comes they are ready to abide by the
departments decision and 60 back to their
homes In peace. "But that Is not the
end" they say, I'VE will retaliate, and the
poor American must expect to receive the
same treatment at our hands,"
