International Complications May Grow
out Of Arrest Of Chinese Inspso-

at Ensenada
BY Associated Press.

SAM DIEGO, oct, 2.--Internatlona
complications may result from the ar.
rest of Chinese Inspector Hutchins las
! June on trumped up charge preferred
by an alleged Mexican smuggler named
Juan Morales.
Hutchins was taken to Ensenada and
tried for kidnapping. Though released
he was subjected to many indignlties
and immigration Inspector Emil En-
gelcke will file complaint and forward
II to Washington.
The latest evidence of the attitude OF
Governor Vega of Lower California is
the recall of permits to United States
customs officers or immigration patrols
for the use of firearms while in Mexican
territory. 1t has been their habit to
potrol the boundary, crossing only at
intervals to save distance, and perform
ing no official acts save on American
soil.
1t is claimed that the charge of kid
naplng preferred against Patrolman
Couts is only another evidence of the
antagonism felt for Americans in Lower
California. This state of affairs has
existed for some time, and has rem
dered the operations of United States
officers particularly difficult.

FOR ALL SUGARS

NEW YORK, Oct 2.-Unless the

changes it's mind, the people of the

The commission has decreed that nc

bleaching sugars Sugar chemists say
they use four pounds of a mineral
bluing substance to every one million
pounds of sugar for bleaching pur-
poses.
This, the sugar chemists say, is not
adulteration; that II is merely puri-
fication by a thoroughly healthful pro-
cess
The pure food commission cannot
see II in that light and insist the

WARRINGTON. oct 2--Secretary
Taft eabled to the war department to-
day requesting that Brig Gen. Fred
erick Funston be designated to com
fnand the American troops In Cuba, and
the military secretary Immediately Is
sued an order 10 that effect
Formal orders were also issued to
Brig. Gen. T. j. Whit commander of
the department of Missouri who re-
ported here late today and who is to
be In charge of the embarkation of the
expedition from Newport News.
The orders show that the first expedi-
tion TO Cuba is to be known ~ the first
expeditlonary brigade. II Is much
larger than an ordinary brigade, but the
war department has decided to con-
slider It as such.
Gen. Thomas II. Barry, assistant
chief Of staff, arrived here this evening
from New York. He has Just returned
from Europe. where he went to witness
the maneuvers of The German army.
Secretary Root has been interesting
himself in the Cuban situation since his
return to duty in the state department.
and In doing so has been going over
the diplomatic correspondence that took
place between Washington and Cuba
before Secretary Taft was sent to Cuba
by the president.
No information has been received in
Washington which indicates the length
of time that the United States will
occupy the island of Cuba, and none of
the officials will venture prediction on
this subject but the presumption is
that it will be some time before
stable government can again be placed
in power, and 1t is expected that mean

pointed to administer the affairs of the
island under the secretary of war.
