NOTORIOUS SMU66LER CAPTURED
BY Customs Inspectors Last Night
After a Warm Chase,

An important capture was made by
Inspectors Hadley, Creswell and
Holmes at 9:3O o'clock last night, q
quarter of a mile north of the Santa F e
bridge.
Diego Cruz, a notorious smuggler OF
Cinnamon, and Woo Tok, whom he
was plotting across the border, were
captured after chase and q sharp pie
tol engagement.
Cruz has been doing successful
business on the border for years. He
resides at Juarez and was agent for
one of the Chinese smuggling svndi-
Gates which have long operated in this
locality and have some we'll known
names among their lists of stockhold-
ers.
The Mexican came over last night
with two Cinnamon and ran afoul of
the mounted inspectors who called on
him to halt. Instead of complying he
and the Cinnamon ran. Five pistol
bullets were sent after the fugitives,
striking in close proximity to their
heads. This had the effect of bring
ing the Mexican and one of the China
men to a standstil, the other Celestial
however, got among the brush and
could not be located.
Cruz and his COM panion are now in
Jail and will probably get hearing
next Wednesday. Their captors say
that Cruz will be sent to the peniten-
tiary for two or three years without
the slightest difficulty.

Baptist May Meetings Held ION the
Pacific Coast


SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. .20.-Delegates
to the Baptist May anniversaries are
arriving in large mum bers, though the
sessions proper of the convention will
not begin until Wednesday of mex,
week.
The gathering will be the first re-
union of the Bapsists on the Pacific

years in July next since the first Bap-
tist church was established on the Pa
ciic coast.
AS usual the anniversaries wil2 in
clude the annual meetings of the Amer

justice of his punishment. Let the
reader then apply the charge against
him and Mr.. Lincoln's explanation OF
it to the men who addressed the Ger
and draw the inevitable inference of
their guilt. Vallandigham did not go
SO far as Edward Atkinson and others
of the Anti-Imperialistic League of
in Chicago. He. even denied
that it was bis purpose to pre-
vent the raising of troops or to en-
courawe desertion from the army, but
Mr.. Atkinson and his followers, in
meeting was held, openly declare their
purpose to prevent the suppression of
the rebellion in the Philippines. They
avOw and boast of sentiments and Opin-
ions declared with the object and pur-
pose of weakening the powers of the
government In its efforts to suppress
an unlawful rebellion" They go
further than Vallandigham and the
copperheads of 1868, and threaten to
appeal to the people.
Mr.. Vallandigham, after his banish-
ment beyond the Union lines, ran the
blockade, made his way to Canada, and
from that point appealed to the people
of Ohio to elect him governor. He in
vited the people of the state to sit in
judgment on the case between himself
and President Lincoln. There hap
pened then what is happening uow.
Loyal democrats left their party to
join with republicans to rebuke this
copperhead and traitor. There were
only two parties, those who sustained
the government and those who did not,
and Mr.. VSllandigham was defeated at
the polls by majority of 101, 900.
The result was conclusive. Mr..
Vallandigham retired from politics,
and was ever after that regarded with
suspicion by his own party and detesta-
tion by the great majority of the
American people. If it were possible
for Ed Atkinson and his abettors
and allies a Chicago to appeal to the
people today for vote of confidence,
there would be measured out to them a
more severe rebuke than was given to
Vallandigham.

SOCIALISTS
Will Hold An International Congress
at Brussels.

at Brussels.
BRUSSELS, May 20.-The great inter,
national socialist congress, for which
preparations have been making for
many months, opens in this city tomor-
row, and already nearly thousand de-
legates are On the ground.
The present gathering will attract
more than usual attention from the
fact that universal disarmament will
be one of the principal subjects of dis
cussion, and, as the conference in pro-
gress at the Hague represents the
views of the governments of the world
regarding the czar's peace proposals,
the Brussels congress is expected by
its promoters to reflect of sentiments of
the people on the same subject.
A host of prominent socialists will
participate in the gathering, including
among others Tom Mann of England; !;
M. Juarez and Guesde and Deputy Ed
ward Valiant, representing the
French socialists; Herr. Adler of Aus
tris. Liebknecht and Beoel, the social
ist leader, and DR.. Iglesias, of
Spain.
The sessions of the congress are ex-
pected to continue about nine days.

There Is today much loose talk abou,
| freedom of speech and freedom of the
press. IL comes uniformly from men
of unbridIed tongues and evil in
fuences. 1t is the plea of the anarchist,
the outlaw, and the traitor, and the
excuse and shelter of thousands who
indulge in ipcendiary speech and in
the same breath protest against bein g
regarded as outlaws or traitors. AS
with one voice, all men of these classes
are arguing just now that free speech
means lawless speech, yet they know
full we'll that there is no such thing as
free speech except within the limits of
constitutional and statute laws; that
there is no freedom of the press except
within the limits of the law of libel.
No man, no newspaper Is at liberty to
destroy character or undermine the
government in violation of the laws
protecting all citizens, or of the consti-
tutional provisions and statutes defining
treason, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Thirty-six years ago yesterday Glenn
ems l.. Vallsndigham, a prominent pol
itician OF Ohio, was arrested upon the
charge of 'publicly expressing sympa-
thy for those in arms against the gov
ernment of the United States, and de-
claring disloyal sentiments and .opin-
ions with the object and purpose of
weakening the powers of the govern
ment in its efforts to suppress an un-
lawful rebellion" He was found guilty
and sentenced TO close confinement in a
fortress duriffg the continuance of the
war. President Lincoln modified the
sentence by directing that Mr.. VAL
landigham be sent south into the en-
emy's lines, with an order that in case
of his return he should serve out the
sentence.
A few residents of Ohio sent form
al remonstrapce to President Lincoln.
In greply, the president said: "Mr.
Vallandigham' IS views are hostile to
the war on the part of the union, and
his arrest was made because he was
laboripg with some effect to prevent
the raising of troops, to encourage de-
sersions from the army, and to leave
the rebellion without any adequate
force to suppress it,

of Vallandigham's treason or the

The commissioners sent by Aguinal

Manila this morning. The commission
was composed of Gen. Pillar, Gsrcio
Gonzala, a membe. of the Filipino
cabinet; Major Z aalcita of Aguinaldo's
staff; and Colonel Barrito, military ad,

They went at once to Gen. Otis e

their request on behalf of Aguinsldo
for an armistice until Aguinaldo could
learn the wishes of his country
men.
Gen. Otis explained in few words
that he had made the position of the
United States on that point clear to
the previous Filipinos delegation and
now declined to consider the request.
He granted the commissioners per-
mission, however, to interview certain
leading Fillpiuos in Manila and consult
with the United States Philippine COM
mission.
The desire of the Filipinos to consult
with the American commissioners is
believed to indicate the real object OF
their visit, to secure peace on the best
terms they can, the repetition of the

PICK POCKETS
BOLD WORK
Unusual Crime Committed BY
A Mexican.
A VERY VALUABLE HAUL.
A Passenger ION the Santa Fe This
Morning Was Relieved of Two
Through Tickets to New York And
Checks of Considerable Value
Thief Captured And Part of
Plunder Recovered.

One of the boldest petty criminal
acts on the records of the police court
OF this city was perpetrated on the
north bound Santa Fe train this morn
ing, q short time after or before it
pulled out from the depot.
The perretratOr was Mexican nam
ed Jose Lopez. He picked toe pockets
of p. E. Andrews, securing several
checks and two through tickets to New
York. which Andrews had purchased
here for the passage of himself and
wife to the metropolis.
Andrews and his wife arrived here
last night. He is French
man and cannot speak English.
They repaired to the Santa Fe depot
this morning, where the men purchas-
ed two tickets to New York, paying
for them in gold pieces and at the
same time exhibiting considerable
more money.
The couple boarded the train and q
few moments later Jose Lopez ap-
preached and soon got on familiar
terms with Andrews. Soon after
the train pulled out the Mexican went
into another car and when the conduc-
tor opened the door Andrews reach
ed in his pockets for his tickets. They
we're gone and SO was Lopez and seve-
raj checks belonging to the French
man.
Andrews and his wife alighted at
the smelter and quickly notified the
authorities here to attempt to catch
the thief.
A half hour after the train fad gone
a Mexican tried to get check for
Sl25 in gold cashed at q half dozso
different places, but failed at each of
them. He went to Krupp's and Mr..
Krupp went with him to the bank, but
the teller said he would not cash the
check unless Krupp endorsed it. This
the merchant declined to do.
The check was written in Spanish
and drawn on bank at San Luis Poto-
81.
About this time Chief Lockart came
along on still hint for the pick-pOcket
and learging from Mr.. Krupp that he
had gone toward the Southern Pacific
depot, broke toward that point on
run with half the town at his heels.
The pickpocket was captured short
time later and identified as Jose Lopez
who is we'll known around the smelter.
The checks were recovered, but the
thief had got rid of the tickets and re-
fused to tell where they are hidden.
