ATTEMPT TO GET INTO AMERICA. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION-COPYRIGHT (Received Aug. 30, 11.15 a.m.) NEW YORK, Aug. 29. A Seattle message states that orders have been issued to Government vessels to prevent a five-masted Japanese schooner, which is rumoured as being off the Strait of Juan de Puca with two hundred Japanese ptictiire brides, from landing the women. The Federal officers have been advised that the master of the vessel intended to smuggle some of the women into Canada and thence over the boundary, and to leave the remainder in secluded places.—Reuter.
