CHINESE sMUGGLEp IN.
One Thousand Crossed Maine Line in
Past Twelve Years.

PORTLAND. Me. Feb. 15.-The fed
eral authorities here are in possession
Of papers found on the person of SAM
Wah Kee. Of Boston, when he was ar
rested in the act of smuggling six OF
his countrymen into the United States
across the Maine border. which led to
the belief that an organized band OF
Chinese have been engaged in SNUG
Cling their fellows into this country
with the collusion of government off,
cials. Among the papers are many
letters which gave a clue to the meth
DDS employed in evading the immigra-
ton laws. In one of the letters sam
spoke Of having successfully brought
one thousand Cinnamon across the
border in the past dozen years.
Sam, who was at one time a Chi
nese inspector, was at the head of the
organization. A Chinese who was to
be smuggled in was furnished with a
certificate, of earlier date, containing an
original valid second sheet, with the
afiidavits and signatures of two white
witnesses. testifying to the applicants
being a merchant in this country. To
this sheet there was annexed one pho
tograph Of the men seeking admission
and forged United States commits
sloners' seal. which was necessary to
make the certificate good
The favored method it is said, was
to cross the line in the district of some
commissioner supposed to be friendly"
and then take special plans TO be ar
rested. A casual examination and an
official 0. X. sent the applicants safe
iy to their destinations. 1t was Gus
tomary TO send to candidates for ad-
mission before they departed from Chi
ma, information regarding the name to
be assumed on entry, the date of their
supposed first arrival. in America and
other information sufficient for pure
ly formal examination.
There are also in the possession OF
the government several contracts en-
tered by which the emigrant agrees to
pay the former party sum ranging
from 800 to $3.50 and heavy interest
upon any part of the principal left un-
Ill paid after a certain time.

General Weyler Has Posted His Troops
so as to Command Every
Part OF Madrid.

NEW YORK. Feb. ia speclal I,
the Times from Washington says:
II is learned that General weyler has
not only proclaimed martial law In
Madrid. but has posted his trsops in
such manner as to command every
part OF the city. The downran of the
ministry Is said to be certain, and that
OF the government possible. The rea-
son given by Weyler for his action is
the inability OF the civil government OF
the province OF Madrid to maintain or.
der.
Nevertheless, there is a suspicion that
this proceeding may be a coup d'etat
of Weyler's, That officer has for the
last two years been acting exactly like
a general who was preparing for the
role OF the man on horseback" He
has been making speeches and givi z
out statements, the effect Of which Is
to show that he was the only man
who could bring Spain through her
troubles, He Is. however, the captain
general. and as such he is the person
TO enforce martial law In No 49, when
il is declared.
The disturbances which General wey-
Ter is now trying to Quell. are not, II
is said. by persons familiar with the
situation, Of either Carlist or Republican
origin, although both parties are TO
doubt active In trying to take advant-
age of the trouble 1t Is declared that
the uprising is in reality an outbreak
Of the disconnected. Those takl'g part
in II comprise all classes OF malcon-
tents. and its causes are like those
which brought about the French revo-
luton.
As one diplomat put H.:
Spain is suffering from a complca- |
ton Of diseases" Poverty has been
increasing, the burden OF taxation has
been growing heavier and the laboring |
classes are ripe for revolution. At the
same time the ruling dynasty is an
popular. All these complications and a
number OF others have brought about
a widespread feeling Of unrest. aud
great events are looked for in Spain
unless the incipient revolution is
quelled
Spain has been tending toward
for some time. Even in the
lifetime Of King Alfonso XII. there
were continual disturbances and in the
closing year Of his reign there were
labor riots of such seriousness that i
was reported that the rioters had poi
soned the wells in many places.
The queen regent has always been

war she received the signifi-

piled to Marie Antoinette. Only a

the Panama railroad. This arrange
ment is due to the termination Of tn
contract between the Panama railroad
and the Pacific Mail steamship Com
pany and establishes new branch of
freight business for the southern Pa
cifc.
It is understood that merchandise
consigned to New York will 60 via
Ogden and that European shipments
will -be made over the Sunset route.
This arrangement was put into prac-
teal operation with the arrival recent
ly at san Francisco Of the steamship
City Of Para.
An official Of the Panama Railroad
Company, when questioned with regard
to the new deal and its effect on that
road. said that the Panama railroad
at the present time was handling
large VOLUME Of traffic both ways
and it was his impression that
the shipments which would be
made via San Francisco from South
American ports for New York and
Europe would consist chiefly Of cargoas
which previously have been sent around
the Horn. The route via San Fran
cisco, he said, was much longer and
an unnatural route as compared with
that via the Panama railroad He in
clined to the belief that the Southern
Pacific deal would not make any SER
ious inroads on the traffic handed by
the Panama railroad and its steamship
