CONSPIRATORS ARE
GIVEN MORE TIME
Six Wealthy Californians Arraigned
In Los Angeles On Charge
of Conspiracy.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26.—Harry
Chandler, the California millionaire
stockman, and five others who were
arrested with him on the charge of
conspiracy to violate the neutrality
t>f the United States, were given a
preliminary hearing yesterday and
:given until March X to enter their
pleas. The men are at liberty under
heavy bonds.
It is asserted by the federal officers
prosecuting the cases that the accus
ed millionaires had engaged a num
ber of men and were preparing to in
vade Liower California and start an
insurrection in order that the Mexi
can province might later become a
part of the United States, thereby
permitting their cattle to be shipped
into the United States free of duty.
The arrests of the mililonaires, and
the intimation by the officers that
many others are implicated in the
conspiracy, is the sensation of the
state and it is reported that a num
ber of prominent Californians will not
visit the exposition, having quietly
left for parts unknown.
