here are three or four men who are ac-
quainted with every inch of the island
Among them are Volney Bashford,
the head of the personal affair in name.
L say in name because Bashford is
partly to blame for the last affair
We have an attorney who is giving us
advice and who is to accompany the
expedition. His name is Bashford.
I'm regard to the makeup of the
party there are about 200 men, nearly
all cowboys from Mexico, Arizona and
Texas, and most of them are here
scattered around"
Morrow said that the natives and
people in the islands would welcome
the revolutionary party; as he ex-
pressed it would consider it like get
ting out of hell into heaven to have
the government a monarchy again.
The first point after landing will be
to take the fire alarm system and the
next point will be the telephone sys-
tenn, in order to cut off communica-
tion,' said Mr.. Morrow. Next will be
the police station, where there are
only about twenty men, whose arms
and ammunition are on the upper
floors while the men are down below
Next would be the palace, where the
Gatling guns are stationed on piazza.
We also depend on some of our spies
to cripple couple of the Gatling guns.
Next we shall take the government
building, which is guarded by only
twelve men. After capturing these
points we will leave men to guard
them. We think that we ought to
CAPTURE THE CITY
within a half an hour, as the points
are so weakly guarded. At the palace
our men could lie behind the fence
that surrounds the grounds and pick
off the gunners from a place of safety
and as soon as their ammunition had
been exhausted the revolutionists
could rush in and capture the guns and
gunners.'

OF the plot said he had expected trouble
OF some kind very soon. Morrow was
seen today by a detective and closely
questioned. He admitted that he was
hiring men for a filibustering expedt-

month and expenses for this work.

men to the rendezvous at Portland.

that the intention of the adventurers
was to sail from San Francisco or
some nearby port in vessel chartered
Tor the occasion. The San Francisco
police at first thought Morrow was
running a swindling employment
agency, but investigation leads them
to believe a conspiracy of the nature
outlined actually existed In spite of
the exposure today, Morrow was very
cool and said the federal authorities
had no terrors for him. He had not
committed any overt act and they did
nothlng except watch him.
Morrow visited the Chronicle Office

practically correct He refused to tell

known, however, that Morrow. before
