2 ARRESTED AT THE BIDDING OF YEE GEE Two Treasury Officials Taken Into Custody at Seattle. ALLEGED SMUGGLER RETALIATES. Special Agent Lewis and Dr. Gardner Charged With Robbery. SEARCHED THE HOME OF THE MONGOL. Carried Away P.ipers to Ba Used In Prosecuting the Fuget Sound Ring. Special Dispatch to Tiik Call SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 12.— Charles E. Lewis, speciai employe of the United States Treasury Department, and Df. J. E. Gardner of San Francisco, Chinese in terpreter for the United States Govern ment, were arrested in thin city to-night on a warrant sworn out by Yee Gee, who was official Chinese interpreter for ,1. C. Saunders while he was Collector of Cus oms. 'ihe warrant charees them with robbery. They will go to Port Townsend lu-morrow to answer to the accusation. Wartants are out for the arrest of Spe cial Treasury Agent George W. Whitehead and Sjecial Treasury Agent Leslie Cul lom. Whitehead is now en route to the E ist, having left this city last Saturday night ior Washington City. Cullorn is in Chicago. He will return, but It is not known for a certainty whether or not Whitehead will come back. His mission to Washington is to place before the Treasury Department ceriain matters which have come to his attention. It is said they relate 1 to the case on which he has been working since became West, bui their nature has not been made public. The arrest ot Lswis and Gardner was kept very q.iiet, and there were not hal: a dozen people in the city who knew any thing about it. Thcne who know Yee Gee and who claim to t>e acquainted wnh the details of tne case say the Government oflicers find themselves in a serious pre dicament, out of which it will be hard for them to extricate themselves. Yee Gee charges them with having robbed ins house at Port Townsjnd oi several pri vate letters and book-. It has been rumored for some time that the arrest of the Government oiKcers was contem plated, but no one believed that Yee Gee would be so bold as to make a move Hgainst the Government officials. Who are backed by ail the powers of the United fciiates Treasury Department. Tnere were not. many details known in this city to-nipiu in connection with the issuing of the warrants. It w:is staled that Yee Gee had gone to Port Townscnd and placed his signature i-> the ir.iorrna tion tiiea before Justice of the Peace Euos Snyder. The warrants were brought to this city, and Constable Pike was instruct ed to serve them. He found Gardner and Lewis in this city, and told them they were wanted at Port Townsend for rob bery. Good lawyers who are acquainted with the present ca^e say that tuts Government officers under arrest are undoubtedly euiltv of a technical robbery. When Wmtehead arrived in this cuy from New York with Lewi-« to investigate the ucts of the aliened smuggling rintr, they very quickly came in the cor:c usion liint it wouid be a good idea to seaicn Yee Gee's place of business at Port Town -tend. They went before United States Commissioner Keifer, and Whiteliead swore out a sea-ch warrant for Y'ee Shine's grocery store on Washington stree:, Port Town send. Instead of entering Y'ee Shine's piac, it is alleged, they went into Yee Gee's store, which is next door, anJ ihere proceeded to help themselves to every thing they thought would aid them in showing Y'ee Gee's connection wan the ring. They look a quantity of hi' private letters, which iold, as it is claimed by ihe Government officers, rnanv details of the alleged ring. A book containing writing supposed to be that of Yee Gee was seized. Yee Gee's claim is that tha officers en te:eci his place without authority, if the search warruntbad called lor a search of his place ue would not h ..ve thought so mucli about it. The Government officers say, that as a matter of tact, Yee Gee had been interested in Yee Shine's place, and that be had sold out a few days beiore without letting any on? know it. FLAGSHIP BALTIMORE IK SERVICE Continued from First Page. hundred workmen, but the admiral was safe in matin,' his report, for at the time there was not an officer or man at the navy yard lo turn the ship over to. Since ti e i the repairs to the flagship have been completed, most of htr stores shipped and all that has been lacking has been the necessary complement of men to man her. Last Friday night Lieutenant Stoney ana a deiachment of 101 men from the Brooklyn Navy-yard arrived at Mare Island, and it was expected that this inadequate force would be utilized to place her in commission, but as the necessary orders from Washington were not forth coming it was supposed the department had decided to adhere to its original plan, to await the arrival- of the Philadelphia from Honolulu and transfer the latter's officers aud crew in a body to tiie new flagship. To-day's orders, therefore, were a com plete surprise, and while nobody can an ticijme the next move of the department, It is the general expectation that the Bal timore will continue to occupy her present berth at the quay until the Philadelphia reaches here, when the transfer of men fcjil be made with appropriate ceremonies. By that time she will have received the last of her stores ana will be ready to pro ceed to sea if it is deemed necessary to order her to Honolulu. The Philadelphia wiil undoubtedly ar rive before the close of the ■week. «. two vwts&MEA -io itEirny. TorkotDn anit IV/iretina 3o JLonjer ■^redtd at Honolulu. NEW YOIIK. N. V., Oct. 12.— 1t was detinitrly announced at the Navy Depart ment this afternoon, according to a liorald Washington dispatch, that when ihe cruiser Baltimore leaves for Hawaii, prob ably next week, she will carry with her orders to the Yorktown and Wheel. to go to Mare Island. The withdrawal of these two gunboats means that tlie administration is satisfied that the Baltimore and the gunboat Ben nington will be sufficient to protect American interests at the islands in the luture. It indicates that the temporary need which called the two gunboat? to Honolulu has exoired and the President feels safe in directing their return. It was frankly admitted to-day, con tinues the dispatch, ttiat the only reason ihe authorities had for sending the gun boats to Hawaii was hecause of a fear that the Japanese residents of the islands, in- eated by their Government, misht pre cipitate a riot which would wreck the Dole administration and placa them in power unless checked by United Slates forces. The authorities believe the presence of sucli n large .'orce of American vessels in Honolulu harbor had much to do with the peaceful conditions nuw obtaining.

N\ V., Oct. tt— Charles Fr.iliman announces that lie is froine to send his Empire Tneater stock company to> London during the summer to play in his new DuKe of York Theater, instead of sending his company to the Pacific Coast. Frohman has been quoted as saying he could get a run of three months in the British capital, while he would only have three weeks in ban Francisco; also that San Francisco could not give returns as big hs the New York company was en titled to. It was added that tbe Aicazar, Morocco's and Columbia were presen ing excellent plays at pritfea too cheap ;o jus tify his company going we?t. Al Hay man in discussing th« subject to day was inclined not to draw the situation bo strong hs Frohman. -'Of course Mr. Frohman lias made ih:s decision, and 1 presume he knew what he was talking about." began Mr. Hayman, "but the pro gramme as arranged lor ihis -easou will be carried out, nevertheless, as at first in tended. As to the ensuing season I pie suine ihrre is some doubt. It is true that ihere are several theaters in San Francisco wliich have made prices «o low ■■ lo affect btgcompaaiei and keep them in the East. However, the Empire plays billed for San Francisco will be rendered there according to the programme. One of these is 'Un der thi? Kei Robe,' and there will be at least one other play which is fully as pop ular." Albert Bonner hns been here for several days. He io'd The Call correspondent tonight at the Holland House that he was consulting With Mr. Hay man in regard to the Looking and assisting to arrange other matters relative to different companies.

Delegation of Prominent Fepub /cans Leave San Francisco for Los tngeles- LOS ANGELES, Cat-., Oct. 12.— What does their coming portend? Tnis is the question that is to-nisrht agitating the local politicians with reference to the an nouncement that a delegation of promi nent Republicans left San Francisco to day lor this city. fa the party rre said to be John C. Lynch, Internal Revenue Collector; D. M. Burns, Judge Brooks, Assemblyman Bettman an 1 otfiers Influential in the councils of the party. Among those who are in touch with the situation both north and south of the Tehachapi it is surmised that the leader? from San Francisco are simply cominc here to ioofc over the ground in relation to th 9 Governorship, with thf» purpose, if matters can bo arranged, of eff-ctini; a combination; on what lines no one pre sumes to say. There are no Ipss than eight well dc lined candidates already in the field for the nominntion of the Republican con vention. T.iis plethoia of timber — and all of it is admitted to be good — is accounted for by the prevalent opinion that the nomination will be M good as an eleciion next year.

Ten Men Given an Opportunity to Plead and Released on Bail. Town Authorities Attempt Once More to Prohibit Bettlnff on i Eastern Races. ■ Special Dispatch 10 T iik Call. SAUSALITO. Cal., Oct. —Town Marshal John E. Greed mnde a descent upon the i»oolmoni run by Harrison & Co. in th« Euffiio Hotel building on Water street this morning at 10:30 o'clock and arrested ten men. The gamblers were taken before Recorder Pryor, where they were released upon giving bonds to appear lor trial nexi Tnursdav. The players arrcst?d by the Marshal pave their names as Wiliiani Barnett, Benjamin Burr, Williem Dolard, Pater Ward, John Lihey and James Joaa* Re corder Pryor held them under $25 cush bail or $100 bomls. The latter were imme diately forthcoming, and the men w bt bnck to the game. The principals placed under arrest were: William Harrison, M..x Cohen, Joserh Belfast and Dick Creighton. The Re corder fixed their bail at $100 ca*n or $250 bonds. They also pave bond 9 and depart ed for the poolroom, which began business again as though nothing had happen^!. Tne cases of the first six are set for 10:30 o'clock Thursday forenoon, and thoa-j of the principals for 4 o'clock of the same day. All tlie rcen pleaded not guilty. A venire for 150 talesmen was placed in Marshal Creea's hands to-day, and from th'.s list; twelve men will be selected to try the cases of Laliey and Jones. There was no excitement attending the arrests of the ganiulcrs. It has been known for some time that this procedure was to be taken and consequently when it came it was expected. Ail the excite ment that has attended this last move on the part of the town oftic als to oust the poolrooms took place ai the meeting of the Trustees last night. Trustee J. M. Kilgarif, who has been the leader in the crusade against the gamblers, seized his hat and left the meeting, saving as ne pdsseu out that the whole thing was a farce and that he was done with it and intended to wash his hands of Sausalito's Trustees and the town's affairs. The various puases of the situation leading up to Kilgarif s hasty retiring aie • n themselves interesting. Kilcarif, when the Trustees came to order, aspect froaecutinj( Attorney Adolph Sylv.i wtiat action had been taken 10 arrea; the pool sellers and player* under the new ordi nance. Sylva stated that no action had as yet been taken; tiiat they had delayed so as to .'ollow the board's instructions. A discussion then arose as !o how many arrests should le made, and Kilgarif said that at least 100 should bo arrested, but the other members of the board thought ihat the expense to tho town would be too preat, as $20 for each case would be about what the town would be taxed. General Dickinson opposed wholesale arrests, and the board, over Kil;arif'a objections, in structed the officer* to make but ten ar rests. Kilgarif then grew indignant end walkeii out. The board resolved to meet again next Thursday night, when any ao tion as to making more arrests will come Another important subject was the con sideration as to wh°tiier Westerson's and Dean's licenses should be revoked because the poolrooms were conducted :n their re sorts. It was linully agreed that further action should be taken next Thursday nijjht, but if in the meantime the pool rooms close the licenses will not be inter fered with. The poolmen who were arrested to-day say that the town ordinance is invalid and that they cannot be punished. The arrest* did not have the slightest effect on the playin™ and tiie sport gees on as lively as ever. Condition of the Irrnnury. WASHINGTON, I).

NEW YORK, N\ V., Oct. 12— Senator Platt said to-day that ue was more confi dent than at any time during the cam paign that General Tracy, Republican can didate for Mayor, would be elected. In a few days he will give his reasons in a statement wnich he is preparing. Among the many causes for encourage ment to the Republican leaders is the growing strength of the Henry Georze movement. At first it was thought that Mr. Georce represented and would get the votes only of those who shared in his peculiar economic idea*. That was the Tammany leaders' estimate of his strength It turns out, however, that Mr. George is drawing his main snpport from the Tammany ranks. He will get, it is pre dicted, thousands of votes from those who •re disgusted with Tammany and Croker isni, and if Charles W. Dayton, the former Postmaster, is nominnted for Controller on the G«orge ticket the Van Wyck tiofcet will be cut genera ly and severely. The Tammany men a>lmit this. The situation had a very roseate look to day. General Tracy hxs gained strength within the last lew days. NAPAMAX WINS THE ASPIRANT Maxim's Daughter First in a Fixed Event at Harlem.
