With over two hundred Chinese
aboard who were refused a landing at
sallna cruz beeanse the authorities
there claimed they we're affected with
traehona the German steamer Michael
Jebsen arrived mere last evening and
was placed in quarantine on port The
vessel has been sixteen days on the
run from The Mexican port and put in
here for provisions a. she Is bound for
Mojl OF Hongkong and found her stores
running low
The coming Of the steamer was the
source of a great deal Of speculation
along the waterfront as to who she
was or where from she looked high
out of the water and il was thought
at first IL was a case Of distress and
wild tales Of storms or other terrible
doings We're made ready for.
The Jebsen is commanded by Captain
Fl. Bendixen and was engaged by a
Chinese Immigration Company TO car
~ laborers 10 Mexico from the Flowery
Kingdom. The vessel sailed from
Hongkong in May and went TO salina
Cruz where the authorities refused a
lean port when the Jebsen left were
two other vessels under charter to the
same company with between five and
six hundred Chinese aboard who We're
being held up on the same grounds as
the passengers in the Jebsen were.
The captains of the other vessels were
trying TO get around the ruling of the
officials and were going to hang on a
week longer and see if something could
not be done to relieve the ships of
their passengers. 1t is understood that
the company handling the laborers has
made an arrangement to transport
them to Mexico for certain sum and
has guaranteed that if they are not
allowed to land they will be taken
back to the port of departure without
further cost to the passenger. the only
expense being what Is deducted for
food
The Jebsen is in quarantine as there
was a suspicious death when two days
out from the Mexican port, and as
there is no surgeon aboard who could
report on the cause il was thought
best TO allow no communication with
the shore. The captain will do his
business regarding the provisioning of
the vessel from his gangway and after
his order is taken 1t will be sent ashore
and filed. The provisions will be TAX
