From Mckee.

From Mckee.
Austin, Tex, Dee. x.-Another lot of
Cinnamon who entered this country from
Eexics in violation Of the Chinese exelu
sion ast are new In jail at different
! points in the federal district. and win
soon be taken to San Fransiscc by United
States Marshal George Seibreohs fer de-
portstion to China. Mr. Seibrecht makes
about four trips Of this kind to san
| Francisco each year. there being from
thirty to fifty Cinnamon in each lot
which he takes to the Pacific port for de-
portation to their native land. This num-
Der is a small part Of the whole num-
ber who cross the Rio Grande into the
United States in violation Of the exclu-
sion law. The remainder are successful
in reaching peints in the interior, where
they are taken care Of by their own
countrymen and lose themselves in the
large cities Of the north and east, so far
as Identification ard apprehension by the
federal authorities is concerned
Mr.. Seibrecht says that the orgsnza
ton in Mckee which has been regularly
employed for several years in plotting
Chinese across the border Is still un.b.t ted
who are alleged to be iesrtihed with this
scheme are we'll known. he says to the
United States government authorities. but
as their ofsnse Is not extraaitable under
the treaty with Mexico no attempt has
been made In that country to put a stop
10 the practice. Fe states that the United
States secret service men who spent some
time in the city Of chihuahua and other
cities in Mexico uneNrthed the whole plot
and its workings. Americans are 81 ths
