Bunker listened to the conversation, but said nothing to the Consul General as to the alleged agent and letters of advices he (Bunker) had mentioned to a Call representative a few minutes before. Consul General Mejia of Salvador was informed last evening of the statements made by Broker Bunker. “There is something very mysterious in all this,” said the Consul General. “If an agent of my Government visited this city en route to Mexico to buy arms and am- munition he certainly would have called upon me, even as a matter of official cour- | tesy. Why should an agent go to a firm of brokers and ask them to attend to a shipment for my Government? That would be my duty. I know nothing of any agent being in the city or going to Mexico and the conflicting statements cannot be rec- onciled.” Mystery Hangs Over the Loa, An air of mystery lay over the steam- ship Loa yesterday.

The cases con- | tain 4500 Remington rifles and bayonets and 2,500,000 ball cartridges. The steamship Loa, of 3200 registered tonnage, arrived in the harbor last Tues- day from Valparaiso and Central Ameri- can perts. The ghip was docked at How- ard-street wharf, No. 3, and was sched uled to sail this morning on her return voyage to the south. Yesterday afternoon, shortly before the | close of o 1 hours at the Custom-| house, a manifest was presented to Sur- | | veyor of the Port Spear and his chief deputy, Chauncey St. John, calling for the | shipment of 450 cases of rifles and 420 | cases of cartridges on the steamship Loa. | The manifest_ stated that Schwartz Brothers, 421 Market street, were the shippers of the goods, and that C.

Salvadorean Consul Surprised. Consul General Mejia was surprised to ear that a shipment of arms was to be made from this port, presumably for his government. nothing about the matter what- ver,"” id the Consul General, “and 1 can throw no light on the affair. Since I have been stationed here my government has always informed me of any such transaction. Some weeks ago the large arsenal in my country was destroyed by nre, and I know that the rifles and car- tridges were to be replaced. Our Minister at Washington would surely know of any shipment through this port of munitions of war to Salvador, and would keep me posted. I shall telegraph at once to him, and will also cable to my President in Salvador.” A significant feature of the case is that statements made by a representative of Schwartz Brothers and by Bunker, the Custom-house broker, are entirely differ- ent as to the party who purchased the rifles and_cartridges. A member of the firm of Schwartz Brothers, who gave his name as Stohl, was asked yesterday afternoon what con- nection his firm had with the shipment of the arms and ammunition on the steam- ship Loa. ‘‘We are only acting for Bloom Broth- ers of New York, who are the agents in New York for the Salvadorean Govern- ment,” said Stohl. “We heard from Bloom Brothers that they had purchased these goods, and they asked us to see that they were shipped to Salvador. We really have nothing to do with the matter. We asked Bunker & Co., the brokers, to act in the affair for us. They will tell you all about it. ‘When asked if he had any objection’ to showing the letter from Bloom Brothers regarding the shipment of arms, Stohl re- plied that he would not show any letters, and that the matter was ‘perfectly right.” Broker Contradicts Shippers. C. D. Bunker, the Custom-house broker, who figured In the shipment, was asked Wl’i‘al he knew about the affair, and he said: *“About thirty days ago an agent of the Salvadorean Government called on us and said he was on his way to Mexico to | purchase rifles and cartridges from the Mexican Government. He informed us that the Mexican Government had'adver- tised for some months in the New York papers for a purchaser for a lot of old Remington rifles and cartridges.” “Did you see this agent again?” asked of Bunker, “No, but we heard from him,” replied the broker; “he wrote to us from the City of Mexico, saying that he had shipped the goods and that we were to see that they were placed on a steamship for Salvador.” “Have you that letter in your posses- sion?” Bunker was asked. “Yes,” he replied. A request for the name of the agent or a view of the alleged letter met with a flat refusal from Bunker. ‘When the broker was informed that his version of the shipment was entirely dif- ferent to that made by a member of the firm- of Schwartz Brothers, he excused himself on the ground that he had to catch a ferry boat for Oakland. A few minutes later, however, Bunker accompanied Stohl, of the the firm of Schwartz Brothers, to the office of the Consul General of Salvador. Stohl informed the Consul General that the shipment of arms was all legitimate, was X3 years ago and has been engaged in the outh and Central American trade. She belongs to the “Compania Sud Americana de Vanores” and made her first appear- ance in this bay last Tuesday. She car- ried a general cargo from the various ports she had called at on her trip. Balfour, Guthrie & Co. act as agents for the line and it was stated at their office vesterday that the steamship Loa would not carry passengers from San Francisco, as the vessel did not have time to secure an American register, she being scheduled to sail this morning. Captain D. Davies of the Loa and his officers were very uncommunicative when asked yesterday what they knew about { any arms or ammunition being shipped to Acajutla, Salvador. i Captain Davies is a Welshman and his ofti are Englishmen and all professed ignorance of the shipment. The captain was in a jovial mood, but when asked why his fine ip would not carry passengers he became angry and said: “‘Because we don’'t want them on this trip; that's why.” When told that his vessel might be de- tained by the United States officials Da- vies replied: “What! Stop my ship! Well, I would like to see any one do it, that's all. I'll chuck them all overboard if they try. You | want to know about arms. Well, I have some seven-inch guns down in the hold. You can go and tell them that, too.” First Officer Daniel Peck and_ Second Officer Thomas Steer denied that any arms were being taken on board the Loa and said that the list of the cargo had })een examined by them yesterday morn- n g. **We only have some flour for Acajutla,” said Peck, “‘and if there are any arms for thv place I know nothing about it.” When told that the cases of rifles and cartridges were even then being loaded on the steamer Peck replied, ‘‘Where are they?” but declined to go forward and make an inspection. Statements were made yesterday to Sur- veyor of the Port Spear that the reason why the Loa would not carry passengers was because the Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers required some alterations to be made at a cost of $1500 and the company did not want to spend that amount. To the Consul General of Salvador the same parties said that it would take two weeks for the ship to secure an Amer- ican register in order to carry passengers.

Tract Will Be Used as Ter- minus for the Morgan- Hill Roads. J. Plerpont Morgan has purchased a large tract of bay shore land adjoining the Standard Ofl Company’s property above Point Richmond, to be used, so it is said upon reliable authority, as a term- inus for the Morgan-Hill syndicate of railroads embracing the Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads. The deal was put through a day or two before the great financier left for the East, but the secret has been carefully guarded by those interested in the matter. The purchase price is given out as some- thing over $100,000. The Jesuit Fathers of this city owned the land, the deed be- ing held in the name of Father A. Mar- aschi. The price paid by Morgan was a hand- some figure inasmuch as in 189 the Jesuits offered to sell the bay shore tract for $25,000 and had it bonded until just a few months ago to McEwen Bros.; the local real estate agents, for $65,000. Just what the plans of the Morgan-Hill syndicate are in reference to extending their lines through California to_this city is not known, but the project has been under discussion for some time past. purchase included some 501 acres, extend- ing from th® northern bqundry of the Standard Oil Company’s tract above Point { Richmond, to Point San Pablo. Its bay frontage runs from Point Mulatto, | above Red Rock, to Point San Pablo. | The land purchased is only about a mile {and a half from the Santa Fe terminus i and along its west shore there is plenty | of deep water. By building wharfs a | short distance into the bay vessels of the | deepest draught will be able to load and | unload with absolute safety. | "Morgan’s purchase was quite a pleasant | surprise to those interested in the general | development of that section of this vicin- | ity. It is understood that the work of | as_soon as possible. | bought bonded_for McEwen of last night. property until about_six months ago, when we gave it up. Shortly before Mor- $65,000,” said John J. McEwen Bros., when seen bond the tract for $%0,000, but the Jesuits, who were probably then negotiating with Morgan, refused our offer. The northern end of the tract is a most valuable piece of bay shore property. There is quite a deep water channel between Point San Pablo and Point Mulatto, which makes dredging unnecessary: “Next to the Santa Fe terminus I should | say that the tract purchased by Morgan | is one of the best sites for railroad term- | inal purposes on the bay shore.” $2.00 EXCURSION To Monterey or Santa Cruz. The Southern Pacific closes the season by running first-class excursion trains to both Monterey and Santa Cruz Sunday next, the 27th inst. Judging from inquiries being made for tickets, attendance will be quite large, and the citizens of the re- scrts in _question are anxious to learn which will receive the larger patronage. | The Monterey excursion train will leave Third and Townsend street depot at 7:30 a. m., returning will leave Pacific Grove | at 4:15 p. m., arriving at San Francisco at | 8:30 p. m. { Thxo,sc intending to visit Santa Cruz will | take the 7:45 a. m. boat from Ferry land- ing, Narrow Guage, foot of Market street.

Wittman on | hearing their story at once sent for Ser- | geant Conboy and ordered him to bring | | #5e Drothel-Keepers to him. Conboy had { no trouble in finding the men and he marched, them to police headquarters. On being questioned by Captain Wittman they nervously denied knowing anything | about the conspiracy. After satisfying | himself that they were responsibie for a price being placed on the men's heads Wittman emphatically told them that if anything happened to the marked Chi- hese he would hold them personally re- | sponsible. 5 The brothel-keepers left after promising | not to molest the alleged informers. ‘A short time ago the Federal authorities were informed that a number of Chinese | girls had been smuggled into this country by the local slave ring and held in bond: age in Chinatown. Accompanied by sev- eral interpreters the officers invaded the Chinese quarter and raided a number of brothels. Over fifteen girls, who had been fllegally landed, were found in the dens and placed under arrest. Lew Kim, Quan Hing and Lew Quong were accused of having informed the authorities and the slave dealers swore vengeance against them. Failing to get them in the several traps which they had set for them the slave owners set a price on their heads, knowing that a number of highbinders would eagerly seize the chance of earning the bloodmoney. eSS AR RN LARGE CROWDS ATTEND THE CATHEDRAL BAZAAR Ladies of the Sacred Heart Booth En- tertain With an Evening at Home.
