SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 2s--The steamer
Gaelic arrived tonight from Yokohama and
Honolulu. The Associated Press corre-
spondent at Honolulu. writing under date of
Feb. II, says:
A more contagious fever of rumor never
struck this community than that which
swept over the town previous to the de-
parture of the Marposa. The story as it
passed from mouth to mouth was rather
feasible, and ran something like this: The
government has decided to deport some ten
prisoners, among them being Widemann,
Creig and Marshall. The presence OF
Judge Widemann on the wharf with a hand
satchel and guitar added credence to the
Widemann part of the story. The govern
ment was prepared to carry out its plan,
when Minister Willis protested against men
convicted OF political crimes being put on
board a vessel carrying the American flag.
Furthermore, the recent immigration laws
of the United States would not allow any
such men to enter the country. In pursu-
ance of this idea, Consul Mills had held the
clearance papers of the vessel until assur-
rance was received that attempt would
be made to put these men on board
President Dole and Ministers King and
Smith were on the steamer and got to-
gether in the captains cabin. There they
We're rumored to have come to a decision
that they had better let the matter lay over
until some more auspicious season. Attor-
ney-general Smith said: Il cannot see how
such a thing got started. We have not
thought of such thing as deporting any
men who have been before the court. /
think we have more use for Greig and
Wdemann here than in the United States.
There is no foundation whatever for the
rumor."
When Minister Willis was asked whether
he had received any notice of an intended
deportation of prisoners he replied mo.

ings toward the officers. OF course, 1t Is
my duty to look after the interests of
American citizens. but I most certainly
have no intention Of making any unneces~
sary trouble for the representatives Of the
government in so doing"
From all accounts 1t. was very fortunate
for the peace Of the community that no at
tempt was made to send the three young
men out of the country. Armed men be-
longing to the Citizens Guard were on the
wharf to prevent the deportation of either
Greig, Widemann or Marshall.
