How they tried to carry out their design and were captured, is already known, twenty-four of them being now in custody in Tucson, awaiting the action of the court, which, will probably return them to China. The special agent made his headquarters at Nbgales, and from there directed the movements of the force of men under him. The twenty-four Chinese who went down on the Newbern, left Guaymas on the train and traveled as far as the Altar district, where the services of Mexican team sters were secured, and the team set out on their journey. They traveled for several days in a westerly direc tion. Behind the team, watchingits every movement, were two of special agent Irvin's men on horseback. For three weeks the party were out on a hot des ert, it being particularly hard on the deputies, as they had to keep the smugglers in sight all the while, with out themselves being seen. The Chi nese camped at watering places, some times for four days at a time. On these occasions the deputies were obliged to make a detour of the coun try, to reach another watering place miles away. For three weeks this kind of a chase was kept up, and the invaders were finally dropped near the line, to the southwest of Tucson, and they tredged across the desert for tho remaining few miles and crossed the line. The deputies were close behind, however, but made no attempt to molest them until they were well into Arizona.
