terfere with your proceedings. By such
course, you cease to be citizens of the Uni
ted States, and can have, after such a
change of allegiance, no claims to protec-
ton, as such citizens, from this Govern
ment."
The Secretary of State, however, denies
that the Mosquito Indians, have any SOW
ercign or political authority, in Central
America and concludes-"If the emf
grants be formed into companies, comman-
ded by officers, and furnished with arms,
such an organization would assume the
character Of military expedition; and,
being hardly consistent with the professions
of peaceful objects, there would devolvc
upon this government the duty of finquiring
whether it be not in violation of our Neu.
trality Act.'

tee on the Texas Creditors bill.
A treaty with Mexico, substantially like
that recently negotiated with Russia, re
cognizing the principle that free ships make
free goods, has been sent to the Senate fol

Extraordinary Fight Twelve Robbers
Killed.

The California papers give the details of
most remarkable fight between an explo-
ring party of three, and band of twelve
robbers, in which every one of the latter
were slain. Capt. j. R. Davis, of South
Carolina, and two companions we're passing
through ravinc, about 40 miles north of
Sacramento city, when twelve men, armed
with pistols and bowie knives, rushed upon
them. One of the three was mortally
wounded at the first fire. Another fell, af-
ter firing his revolver twice, severely woun-
dcd. Capt. Davis, from the first attack be-
ing unhurt, fred hisrevolvers at tina assail-
ants with unerring aim, nearly every dis
charge bringing down its man. After the
pistols on both sides appeared to be dis
charged, five of the robbers left standing,
they attacked Davis with bowie knives. He
stood his ground till they approached with.
in few feet Of him, when, with h heavy
knife he sprang at them, and after despe'
rate struggle killed four Of them and dis
armed the fifth, who was also badly woun
ded. A party of hunters hearing the dis
charge of arms and seeing the attack, has
tened to the spot. Davis had over twenty
bullet holes in his hat and clothes, but he
had only two flesh wounds, not of danger
GUS character. The last of the robbers dice
the next day. Papers upon their persons
and the confession of the survivor, showed
that the band had been formed short time
before, composed of two Americans, one
Frenchman, five Sydney men, and foul
Mexicans. These facts come so well authen
ticated that no doubt of their truth exists
They form one of the most remarkable in
cidents on record. Captain Davis vii

Monetary Affairs.

The Banks last week, with only partial ben
eft from the California remittance of last week,
show yet an increase of 1896, 900 in the amount
of specie held by them, now reaching 1857
300 dollars. Next weeks return will show
larger sum. This amount is the heaviest ever
held by the banks. The banks also have fur
ther expanded twelve hundred thousand dollars
in the loans and discounts, and are continuing
in the same course of expansion, lmpelled there
TO by the necessity of using their increase of
specie means and deposits. The increase in
the deposits is much larger than appears by the
statement from the incorrect mode adopted from
the beginning to get at them.
The loans aud discounts amount to IS ,554,-
647 dollars. On the 25th of January, 1854,
they were S9,759 ,465 dollars, Or three millions
more, with six millions less specie.
AS there is no probability Of losing specie at
present, the tendency is very strong to great
enlargement OF discounts and loans, at least to
the extent wanted, but the contraction of busi
ness is so very great that the demand for money
is not likely to increase in proportion to the sup
ply. The circulation continues to diminish

THE MAINE LIQUOR LAVA more
stringent liquor law is coming before the
Legislature of Maine, from Neal Dow
The bill provides penalty of fine of $50
and four months Imprisonment for the
first violation; the same fine and six months
imprisonment for the second, and fine Of
500 and one years Imprisonment for the
third offence.
No action is to be entertained against
the officers for destroying liquor, and COM
mon carriers are made liable for carrying
liquor contrary to law, under the penalty
of fine for the first two offences, and i'm
prisonmept for the third. It is thought
the bill will pass.
