Considerable excitement had been created in Ha-
yana among the mercantile community, by forgery
committed BY Spaniard named Basanes. The facts
OF the case appear to be as follows:3
This Basanes was formerly of notoriously bad char
aeter but for some few years has acted in sueh man
ner as to gain the full confidence of Senior racoste
merchant OF that place, who made him his coniden
tlal clerk Some time about the Goth ult he went IL
the Messrs Cahusac, and told them that Lacoste re-
qured bills on New Orleans for o Mexican friend n
the amount OF $4,000, and said that he would cali
for them at certain hour. The bills were dnly pre
pared, and Basanes called for them, giving what an
peared to be Lacostes check on the Credito Indus
trial for the money; which check was paid although
forged one. Having thus far been successful. Ba
sanes took his passage on the steamer Of tie 26 n
Tor this city. The forgery was not discovered until
several days after his departure when the interested
parties at once proceeded to Key West and chartered
fast sailing vessel in the hopes of arriving at New
Orleans in time to prevent the drafts being paid, as
they were drawn at ten days sight. 1t is disputed
point between the parties interested as to whom the
loss Will fall on in the bills are paid and VIII no
Doubt before it is decided, afford some good pickngs
for the lawyers. 9f 3is srss:ps23y a+4s55' NJ
