HAD CHINESE IN CHAINS
CAPTAIN of Eleanor Auerted Opium
Mutiny at HaUana.

Wong Wing Fat and Suey Ong Lung had
never been in Cuba. Before they left Shanghai
they had heard much of the island and planned
to go ashore when the British tramp Steamer
Queen Eleanor, on which they had shipped ar
rived off Havana.
Wong Wing Fat took goodly supply OIL
opium with him from China, but did not alio"
for head winds and a retarded passage, and long
before the steamer arrived at Havana the sup
ply of the soothing poppy concoction became
exhausted. Suey Ong Lung divided snlaii
portion of his own supply with wong out II
was soon consumed by the two pipes and HaV-
ana was a long way off. The cheeks or the TWO
fat Orientals began to twitch for want OF OPIUM
and when they tried to borrow some from the
other Chinese members of the crew-there oelng
twenty in all-they found that there was d
sixth of an ounce among them
Wong then talked much of heap big city
of Havana. and the crew took it up. They
counted the hours until they could get ashore
and get enough of the subtle drug for SIX
dav go-as-you- please sleep and dreams worth
hundreds of yen. After dreary days OF want
the Queen Eleanor made port and the twenty
Orfentals prepared to go ashore
The captain thought Wong Wing Fat ana
Suey Ong Lung might get into trouble IN the
Cphan citv and ordered the twenty Cinnamon
to stay aboard.
They acted surly, and as they were ABOUT 10

Charlie Tape in the brig and a mutlny Wnlcn

Belief That Emigration Terms HM
Be Satisfactory.

Toxic Jan. 1.-The memorandum on the emil
grafton question sent by the Foreign Office TO
the American Embassy was the last official act
of the japanese government in the year 1907.
This is considered to he significant of a desire
on the part of the government to begin the year
1908 under better auspices In fact, this has
been admitted by an official of the Japanese
government, who said:
We have every reason to believe that the de-
tails of our administration and future control
of the emigration question will be satisfactory
to the American government
President Roosevelt wanted Japan to act
promptly and our memorandum is the result of
much careful work and investigation
While doubtless some changes viii be made
before the matter is finally disposed Of are
of the opinion that the last official act of 1907
will make the dawn Of 1908 brighter in both
