SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 29.-The
steamer Gaelic arrived tonight from
Yokohama and Honolulu, bringing
the following advices to the Associa-
ted Press:
Honolulu, Feb. ia more con-
tagious fever of rumor never struck
this community than that which
swept over the town previous to
the departure of the Mariposa. The
story, as it passed from mouth to
mouth, was rather feasible, and ran
something like this:
The government had decided to
deport some ten prisoners, among
them being Wiedmann, Greigan and
Marshall. The presence of Judge
WieGmann on the wharf with a
hand satcheI and guitar added ere
dence to the Wiedmann part of the
story. The government was pre-
pared to carry out its plan when
Minister Willis protested against
men convicted of political crimes be-
ing put Oh 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
pursuance of this idea, Consul Mills
had held the clearance papers of the
vessel until assurance was received
that no attempt would be made to
put these men on board.
President Dole and Ministers King
and Smith were on the steamer and
got together in the captains cabin.
There they were rumored to have
come to a decision that they had
better let the matter lay over until
some more suspicious season.
NO FURTHER DEPORTATION.
When asked regarding the alleged
deportation, Attorney General Smith
said: L cannot see how such a thing
got started. We have not thought
of such a thing as deporting any men
who have been before the court. I
think we have more use for Greig
and Wiedmann here than in the
Un&ed States. There is no founda-
ton whatever for the rumor."
When Minister Willis was asked
whether he had received any notice
of an intended deportation of prison.
ers, he replied: NO: I was informed
quite to the contrary. I did not en-
ter any protest or make any re-
quest to hold the steamer. In fact
I have not yet filed the protest con-
sequent to the deportation affair
last Saturday. 1t is farthest from
my purpose or desire to take any
action which would tend to embar-
rass this government. I have the
most friendly feelings toward the
officials. Of course it is my duty to
look after the interests of American
citizens, but 1 most certainly have
no intention of making any unnec-
essary trouble for the representa-
tives of the government in so doing"
From all accounts, it was very
fortunate for the peace of the COM
munity that no attempt was made
to send the three young men out of
the country. Armed men, belonging
to the citizens guard and other
bodies, were on the wharf to prevent
the deportation of either Greig,
Wiedmann or Marshall. The gov
eminent caused the arrest of 381
persons since Jan. 6, of whom ninety
