TSMUGGLED CHINESE.
INVESTIGATION OF THE CHARGE
is BEING MADE.
The Undesirable Immigrants Are Coming
Into the Union Through Port Townsend,
wasbington-Miss Cisneros to BE Sent to
Convent.

Washington, August 30.-rhe treas
ury department is conducting an in
vestigation of charges that Chinese are
being struggled into the United States
at Port Townsend Wash. Assistant
Secretary Howell has ordered a spe-
cial agent to Port Townsend. The re-
ports indicate that the Chinese had
made use of forged certificates, but no
charges were made against the custom
officials at Port Townsend except by
implication.
Owing to the friction that has been
caused between officials of the treas
ury department and the department of
justice over the method of enforcing
the Chinese exclusion act the secretary
of the treasury and the attorney gen
eral will this week issue a joint cir
cular to immigration inspectors and
United States attorneys and marshals
instructing them in the future lOt to
arrest Chinese whose papers give
them prima facie right to admission
until they reach their ultimate desti-
nations in the United States. Hereto
fore they have been arrested as soon
as they crossed the border and when
taken before United States commits
sloner We're frequently discharged de-
spite the protests of the inspectors. 1t
is believed that If they are not arrest
ed until they reach their destinations
the chances of collision between mag
istrates and those interested in getting
Cinnamon Illegally into the country
viii be reduced to a minimum.

Tampa, Fla, August 3O.-The expe-

layed somewhat by washout on the
Plant system. The party did not en-
bark on the tug Cleveland until mid

Dallas, Texas, August 2S.-The dis
missal by the new revenue collector, 2.
B. Hunt, of the former collectors en-
tire democratic staff, which occurred
upon Collector Hunts induction into
office last week, caused quite a sensa-
ton in both democratic and republican
circles.
The democrats who were outside i'm
agined themselves secure behind Cleve-
lands sweeping civil service orders, and
took no care of the future. Hunts ac-
ton was rude awakening, from VIII.
they have not yet recovered. The affair
has been the talk of the town for a
week.
The discharged deputies at first
though of taking their grievances before
United States Judge Daniel %. Bryant
of Paris, as it was alleged that Judge
Bryant had said that Collector Hunt
was clearly violating civil service rules,
but they weakened on this course, and
decided to trust their fateS with the Ma
tlonal civil service commission.
Mr., X. C. Wood, who was one of eX-
Collector Doggetts deputies, is the Sec
rotary of the civil service commission
for the North Texas district. He has
laid his side of the case before the board
at Washington, and has bright hopes
that Secretary Gage will be prevailed

private citizen again. He does not an
ticipate report ON the case for a week
or more.
EX-Collector Doggett and his deputies
were gold democrats till the Chicago
convention laid down the party's law
and gospel, After that they were all
Bryan supporters. This is the leading
reason why Dallas republicans were so
anxious to see them bounced.

any such scheme for French revenge
upon Germany.

ors to minimize the Importance of the

Alvin. Texas, August 30.-The most
disastrous fire in the history of Alvin
occurred between 1 and 2 o'clock yes
terday morning. At that hour fire
was discovered in the rear OF w. H.
Nash & Co.'s building and before any
thing could be done to stop it the en-
tire building was in flames. The
building was a large two-story, the
best business house in town, and the
stock consisted of hardware, furniture,
crockery and glassware, agricultural
implements and wagons. The entire
stock was consumed, entailing a loss
on building and all of between $15,0OG
and $4,000. The insurance will not
cover the loss.
The real estate office of Richardson
& Shirley was also consumed and for
a time it looked as though the entire
bushes portion of the town would go,
but heroic work on the part of the cit
liens saved It, The buildings occu-
pied by T. c. Edwards, l. w. Murdoch,
King Bros, n residence, postoffice and
store building and the Sun office all
caught fire at one time, but were ex-
tinguished. The loss on these buildings
will foot up several hundred dollars.
A small office building in the rear Of
Nash's store and large Shed some
fifty feet from the store were also con.
sumed.

Washington, August 2S.-General
Woodford, minister to Spain, has cabled
the state department that he will leave
Paris on the 31st for st. Sebastian
where the queen regent is spending the
summer, A special from Spain says the
queen will receive Minister Woodford
on her return to Madrid.
Ministers Gushing and Lowell were
received at resorts outside of Madrid,
but royal courts had been established
at these places. While there has been
no apparent hurry by General Wood
ford to reach his destination, yet the
fact is apparent that he would not go
to San Sebastian to be received out of
the ordinary custom unless it was felt
that he ought to soon begin to carry out
his instructions as to the policy of the
United States regarding Cuba.
AS soon as General Woodford is re-
ceived he will be in n position to open
negotiations with the Spanish foreign
minister, who does not recognize Mr..
Woodford as minister until he has been
received by the sovereign.
