AMERICAN ENGINEERS
Being Enlisted at Puget Sound for Chinese
War Vessels.


PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Aug. 81
The work of securing engineers and
firemen from Puget Sound to go to the
orient to serve in vessels of the Chinese
navy has been inaugurated by Wah
Chung, millionaire merchant and
Chinese employment agent at Seattle,
who has addressed several unemployed
men of this city asking whether or not
they would be willing to go to the
orient. The agent guarantees a good
salary, payment of all expenses of the
trip, and salary to begin on the day of
departure. The fact has not yet
leaked out in Seattle, where Wah
Chung resides, and as result he ex-
poets the entire quota to be secured
here. Secrecy has thus far been main
tanned to prevent interference with
the scheme on the part of the United
States authorities. The men secured
will leave as frst-class passengers on
the next Canadian Pacific steamer sail
ing from Vancouver for the orient.
