SMUGGLING RUMOR UNFOUNDED
Goods Seized from the Oregon Found to
be Mostly Souvenirs.

San Francisco, April 3.-Through

Collector William b. Hamilton fifty
two packages of goods landed from
the United States battleship Oregon to

the rumor of smuggling was altogether
unfounded. There we're dress suit

kets and other packages of like size.
and they were found to contain souve-

wives, sisters, daughters and friends
of the officers and crew of the Oregon,

expected that the secretary of the
treasury, when put in possession of
the facts by Appraiser Dare, will order
the goods released and forwarded to
their addresses.
