Ex.oFFlcIALs SUED FOR SHORTAGE


San Francisco. June 26-Two sensation
al. cases which have never had pub
Lefty, although they have been In the
United States circuit court for three yearA
were brought to light today. The suits
contain allegations of embezzlement.
Criminal proceedings have not been instt-
tuted, but suits have been commenced
to recover the amount Of the shortages
from the respective officials. These alleged
defaulters are William J. Bryan, who waS
postmaster Of San Francisco during Pres
ident Cleveland's first term, and John
Quinn, who was internal revenue collec-
tor under President Harrison. The charge
made by the government is that between
July, 1866. and June Is, 1890. he received
5000 into his possession which he neg
lected to turn into the U. 8. treasury. The
money was received by him, or prop
and other postal moneys. When the ex-
postmaster got out Of Office this short
age was discovered. and soon after suit
| was commenced.
| The allegations against Quinn are even
stronger than those in the case of Bryan
| There are two separate actions against
1 Quinn. One is for the Misrepresentation OF
/ 49, 1850, and the other for 81, 1868, between
the 7th Of March, 1891. and November =,
| 1893. The complaint also states that Quinn
! did not we'll and faithfully perform tho
duties of his office, and did not pay over
1 the moneys that came into his hands a.
such collector.
The facts leaked out today when tha
4 United States district attorney asked to
have the estate of w. w. Stowe substl-
tuted for w. B. Stowe as q bondsman and
defendant in each case.

George w. Childs Expedition Believed

Washington, June 25.-Word reach
ing official quarters in Washington in
dicates that the filibustering expedition
which was believed to have gone to
Cuba on the steamer George w. Childs,
has come to an inglorious end. The
boat was located after reaching ia.
maica, but nothing definite has ever
been heard as to the party beyond
vague statements that they had landed
at some remote point on the Cuban
coast. Information now reaches Of
ficials here that leads to the belief that
the party did not reach Cuba, but met
with disaster off Florida resulting in
extreme hardships to it's members. Six
OF them have returned to Key West in
a famished condition, having lived on

RENToN'S SLAYERS FEEL UNEASY
Honduras at Last Taking Steps to Pun-
iSh Them.

Washington, June 26.--As the result Of
much vigorous urging and pressing by the
state department the government of HON.
duras has been brought to take steps 70
punish the people who committed the
Renton murder, and today cable was re-
ceived from Mr.. Pringle, United States
charge daffairs, announcing that three
Of the persons implicated in the RentOn
murder had been arrested. It Is expected
that the firm stand of the state depart
ment in this matter will have a. good
effect upon the status of American c1ft-
zens in the small republics In Central
America.
The treaty OF the United States and
Honduras contains provision guarantees
ing protection for citizens Of one coun,
try sojourning In the other, but hereto
fore in all of these Central American
states the governments have made few
efforts to give effect to such treaty stip-
ulation where our citizens were con-
cerned. The special feature of the Rem
ton case is that all of the parties to tho
! murder and incendiarism were foreigners
| and not native Hondurans. Because q
| their prominent positions and influences
with lesser native officials 1t has been
| difficult to induce the government to move
! against them. Six persons were concern
ed in the murder, but it Is believed Is 2

three Of them have fed the country ana

Schooner G. w. Watson on a
Fi|ibustering Expedition.
SHE HAS CLEARED FOR HAWAII
Lumber Cargo Is to Be Dropped Off
Cape Flattcry and War Supplies
Taken on Board.

Seattle, June 25.-The schooner G.. w. |
Watson, which cleared from this port
at the local customs Office last night
with SIS. 900 feet Of lumber for Honolulu,
intends to take on field pieces, small
arms and ammunition. A large ship
ment Of ammunition has been made to
the sound by rail and is now either
stored or cached at various points along
the sound in the vicinity Of Everett and
WhatcOm.
After the Watson rounds Cape Flat
terry, it is said she will dump her big
cargo Of lumber into the sea and a large
number of small slOOps and small
schooners will sail seward from near
points named bearing the new cargo.
After her lumber cargo has gone into
the waves it is said she will head for a
small island in the Hawaiian group
which has been selected and is peculiar
ly adapted to the landing Of the contra
band cargo. If her plans Go not mis-
carry, an instruction may be expected
to follow.
A bold scheme is said to have been un-
earthed by the government agents re-
Gently. It is said that some San Fran
cisco shippers and woman in Honolu-
lu who is worth $2,500.000 proposed fit
ting up a schooner at this port with
heavy guns and small arms and then
to go to small island in the Hawaiian
group and fortify themselves. 1t was
calculated that the strength Of the roy
alists and supposed allies Of the ex-
queen in San Francisco would greatly
help out the scheme. 1t is also said that
a certain man in this city, well known
for his fighting abilities, was Offered
command of the expedition at a salary
of $3.50 per month. If it was successful
he was to have a high position under
the royal government.

Washington, June M.-It Is probable
that the government authorities concern
