SMUGGLING IN CHINESE
Point at Which They Are Believed to
Enter California.

Santa Anna, Cal, Oct. 30-Reports
from reliable:citizens whorecently WIS.,
tied Ensenada, in lower California,
indicate plainly enough that a we'll
perfected scheme is in operation to
smuggle Cinnamon into some adjacent
territory, which can only mean into
the United States. Vessels are con-
stantly landing Cinnamon at Ensena-
da, according to these reports, and
the Celestials promptly disappear.
Not long.ago a schooner landed thir-
ty-seven Cinnamon. There is nothing
for these Chineses to do at Ensenada,
and moreover they do not remain
there, even / there were employment
for them.
1t woull seem that the smuggling of
these unlawful people into this coun-
try from that port ought to be easily
detected. The United States has a
Consul there, who cannot fail to note
the landing of the Cinnamon and their
course from Ensenada might easily be
traced. 1t stands to reason that they
are not landed there for employment
on the peninsula, and it is more likely
that they should choose Eusenada as
the port from which to reach the Mexi-
can mainland.
The Cinnamon are arriving at En-
senada in numbers which in the ag-
gregate would be surprising, and
Americans who have Witnessed their
arrival have wondered where their
final destination can be.

CASE OF MISS STONE.

American Mission Workers Much Per.
turbed over Situation.
New York, Nov. 30.-The Rev. DR..
Williamp I. Haven, secretary of the
American Bible society, has just re-
turned from Constantinople, having
visited many of the mission stations
in Turkey. He brings direct news of
their feeling regarding the abduction
of Miss Stone.
Il found the American mission work
ers much perturbed over the situa-
tton," he said, though they were hope
full that the affair would terminate in
the release of Miss Stone and her COM
panion. All the missionaries | met
were anxious that everything possible
should be done to secure the release
of the captives, but many of them
were concerned about the payment of
the ransom to the brigands, and tney
felt that it's payment would put all
missionaries in Jeopardy.
''It is the current idea in Constanti-
nople that the kidnapping of Miss Stone
and her companion was inspired by
the Macedonian committee, and that it
had political entanglements as it's ulti-
mate object. The report which |
heard when l reached home that Miss
Stone was dead may very easily be
true, for the region in which she and
her companion have been kept by the
brigands is one of extreme exposure.
Unless the captives have been better
cared for than it would seem posi-
BILE for them to be under the circum-
stances it may well be expected that
they will perish"

fore their committal for trial at the

court was crowded today. The princi

Adams, she left Ohio in 1899 and got
mixed up with the prisoners at Glen
Echo, a suburb of Washington She
further testified that the prisoners oh.
tanned from her money under false
pretenses and Iured her to New York.

Paris and Cape Town. The female
prisoner suddenly shouted:
Your husband died of poison, didn't
he?"
NO" replied DR.. Adams.
At this point the male prisoner
jumped to his feet
You are a murderess," he shouted.
Mrs. Jackson calmed her husband
and then continued to cross examine
DR.. Adams, who denied that she was
ever accused Of numbering her hus,
band
When later she was examined by
Charles w. Mathews, senior counsel to
the treasury, DR.. Adams related her
own experience with the prisoners,
which resembled incidents related by
the girl victims.
After further testimony had been
presented in regard to the male pris.
oner's malpractices, the prisoners
both denounced DR.. Adams with shouts
of Liar" and Pe1jurer."
