Intense excitement over* a cargo of Chinese Girls. : San Francisco, Feb, 23, 1869- It has been well understood among the Chinese circles, for a week 'or two past, that the China steamer which arrived yes terday would bring a large shipment of Chinese #omen, and in consequence great excitement, existed among that interesting pdrtton of our commnnity. Every China-* *nian considered himself entitled to a. wife and determined to obtain her at whatever cost. Word was brought to Chief Crow ley that parties were arming themselves and threatening to enforce their rights by the arbitrament rtf cleavers, iron bars and re volvers. With his usual energy he at onde detailed a large force,-and sent them to the dock Off' the mail company to prevent a riot. While the steamer was coming tip the harbor, the news spread like through the Chinese quarters, and at once crowds of their people started for the land ing. Every possible -means of conveyance was in demand. The high-toned! 'merchants, and head men, who were determined to * < 4 prevent thair countrymen from falling into •the hands of their brethren us a lower caste, provided themselves with passes To the dock and went in hacks and on flie street cars, while hundreds of women, with um brellas spread over their heads, crowded into express and baggage wagons, aud the regular “pirates or sanpans, as they arc called in China, hurried so the place on foot. At least fifteen hundred Chinamen had usr sembled before the steamer came in bight, lieyond internal promiscuous jabber, the crowd were quiet till the steamer came to her dock. As none but the merchants and head men who had passes were allow ed inside the gates, the rest crowded up to the gates or dispersed along the wharves, lining them Away down to main street. As noon as the officers commenced landing the vromey from the steerage, the excitement became intense, and it required a large force to prevent them from breaking down tlie«gates. One Chinaman made an assault upon an officer, giving him a blow upsn the face that brought him to -the ground. while this confusion on the onl side was going on, the women were landed, to thy number of three hundred and ninety five and placed in half doesew rows: The examina.* tion by the customhouse nfficer{most ol them young rrien j was exceedingly interest ing. L rge quantities of opioum were discovered on their peisoii, stowed away in different places. When the search was oooipleated’they were-stowed away i« a (urge express wagons, and -conveyed to such places as the merchants and head men. directed An officer was placed in front and two on each side, and one behind-each .wagon, each avuied with a club,'to i»eat off any love-smitten Oriental who might try to .boat'd it. It was an amusing sight to sec "these wagons going up'the,hill from the dock at foil speed, the swinging at the hundreds of men who followed, jabbering their disappointment to the top ..f their lungs. By i> fsdock the women were safely stowed away, and under the strong protection of the merchants and head nveh, who wi ll probably reship them to China by the next steamer, or send them over as S3rvants in American familes. ■All the boats m the vicinity wt*re eugag qd at high prices by panjes to he rowed to the.side of the fiteameV, hoping, by that means, to gain, access to the women, and it required strong measures to prevent their boarding the vessel.. After the boats were engaged, a ten tide-fight commenced as to NO. 49. who should occupy them, and many Vho had paid their passage were thrust back into the crowd and their places taken by one wlio did not*scruple to take a sail at ‘ another,s expense. tit i, j ■ • -i . r ‘jaf Fr«MM«§iug Slug. outrage among the cofivicrs—excitUto oat tit . THE PRISON. SntG SING, \ r ew York, March IB.—Two serious outbreaks were made by the cun— victs atthis prison to-day . The ffrst oc ean-erf between three mirMoar uA. M. At that horfr Mr. Thomas Forrest, one of the night keepers, proceeded to cells Nos. 13, 28 and 31 and unlocked them, let— fing purconvicts Decker, Lockwood, Mill biiy, Muller and Joliii Burns,-to get break fast foY the other convicts. Soon after leav i&Hifef lls ' aaj^jtoph the chapel, two of the Convicts seigtmand struck Forrest and gagged him, laying him down, and phasing on to the mess room, wherp 3d win Craft, night guard, was sta tioned, they also si-iaed and gagged him, Hpd then all five of them made their escape fronf th* roof. ••' ' ' ' When Craft was found lie was dead, hav ing been strangled by the gag and was ly ing oh his face. The alarm was given, and every effort was made to re-arrest the escaped convicts. Two of them Burns and Mulbrey, were captured in a barn at Jawytown. Fofrrest whs but slightly injured, the convicts seeming to have ta ken care nut to hurt him. . He was, howev er, gagged, and his hands tied. About one P,. M, another attempt was madejiy another scjiad of convicts to get away, which was more desperate than the first. At that hour, three convicts ap proached the guard qn the middle dock, saving they : had a pass they wished to showhipi. He advanced without his %rms, when they immediately ran at him with huge knifes. He ran for his musket, but was soon overpowered, but ndt ‘hurt. The convicts now joined by others, made a rush for the sloop Exchange,-which was lying qt the dock laden with lumber. Once there, and being provided with Arms which they had seised from the guard-house, they ordered the men off the vessel, and attempted to jymp on board. By this tfnie the til arm Ikd spread and fresh guards came Upon Ihe scene. Rapid firing of musketry began, and some twenty shots in all were fired. The convicts being unable to get the vessel away from the dock, and seeing they were overpowered,•succumbed, am! were taken back to the prison. The following is a list of the injured. James McCauley, shot throe times mi the body and will probably trot recover}, a convict named Allen, is a3so severely hurt. Seriously hurl—Timothy Donovan, Daniel Cf Conn* 11, Edward Mc- Gann. Donnelly and Miller, two who were dangerously injured, were under twenty .years sentence. * While The noon rebeTlion was going on, it wan thought that a general revolt was about, to transpire, amd a telegram was sent to Sing 'Sing village for help.
