fraud the government by shipping
back TO China, on the steamer Gaelic.
six imposters in place of six Chinese
who we're ordered deported by United
States District Judge De Haven. One
arrest has been made in the case, and
others will follow shortly. More sem

it is believed the government has
stumbled upon the work of a ring.
1t is the contention of the govern
ment officials that the six genuine Chi
nese were in the county Jail Friday
morning, and that they were removed
from there at seven O'clock by a dep
uty United States marshal, and taken
in a hack to the Pacific Mail dock.
From there they were placed safely on
board the steamer Gaelic. Five hours
later the men could not be found, but
in their stead were imposters in no
way resembling them in appearance.
At a late hour Friday night the Of
ficials were in the dark so far as hav-
ing any knowledge as to how this
