A FORGED ACCEPTANCE.
How q California Bank WAS Swfmduesl
Out Of a Large Amount.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Dec. 23.-Strenuous
efforts are being made by the First National
bank of this city TO get at the bottom OF the
matter of alleged forged acceptances on the
Camden Consolidated Oil company OF Parker
burg, w. Va. The facts, rs far as learned are
that DIR. E. w. Crooks, acting as agent for the
Camden company, purchased OF H. l.. Williams
$50 acres OF the Artega ranch for e75.OO0. He
gave in payment $4,000 cash and three notes
secured by mortgage, the first OF which was for
1000, payable In three months the second
Tor 1000, payable i'm six months, ana the
third for S23,o00, payable I'm nine months.
Later the notes We're exchanged Tor three ar-
company for the same amounts, payable i'm
two, four and six months The first Of these
acceptances was discounted at the First Ma
tional bank, and about $4,000 was paid on IL.
This was I'm turn sent To the Bank of California,
in San Francisco. which addressed the Camden
company Informing them that the bank held
the note in question. The answer came back
that the com pany had no knowledge of such u
draft, and pronounced ii a forgery. The draft
was then sent back to the Santa Barbara bank,
which made good the amount to the Bank of
California. The bank here claims TO be amply
secured and feels no uneasiness as To the result
rs far as IL il concerned. In reference Ia the
matter w. w. Hollister, president of the First
National bank, makes a statement that tlte
bank VIII not be aforementioned 10y It's con-
nection with the transaction, and further says:
I'VE are trying To get at the bottom ol the
whole matter All the California people COM
nected with the affair OF irreproH chn ole
character. The whole matter still remains
mystery.

Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Dec 23.-Mr. Forster's declared oppo-
sitton to any scheme OF home rule causes no
surprise and attracts slight attention. He is
disposed of by the nipple remark that he,
more than anybody living, has proved the dis
astrous results Of the coercion policy. Micnael
Davitt in the PdU Nah Gdzette to-day says that
in Gladstone's proposals is the basis for scheme
which will meet the appreciation OF the Irish
people on the one hand while safe in guarding
the interests of the British empire the other
He says the liberals and tories are both resolved
upon something, and that half way measures
have been q curse to Ireland. He says the
nationalist would agree TO a minority repre-
sentation in the Irish parliament, but the
colonial solution is better than the dual parlia-
mentary representation. He declares the
interests of the empire 10 be amply guarded by
the veto power of the crown, and says Ii is
ridiculous to demand further guarantees from
five millions of people less than four hours sail
from one of the most powerful empires i'm the
world. Why not, DaVitt asks, demand guar
antees from Jersey and the Isle of Man: With
regard TO religion, Davitt says If guarantees are
required to protect what no nationalist dreams
of molesting, there will not be the slightest
reluctance TO give the most ample ones. lie
adds: NO one dreams, presume, OF attempt
ing to perpetuate Irish landlordism. Its exist
ence would be as impossible under the rule of
an Irish parliament as il is at present under
the protection of the imperial parliament" He
refuses to believe that Mr.. Chamberlain and
the British democracy will take a hostile atti-
tude, and says in conclusion: .'The three great
Irish problems have been religion land and
nationality Gladstone settled the first, has
twice attempted to solve the second and now
approaches the third. The result will be either
utter failure or finality.

The Indian Ambush i'm New Mexico.
HOW SURGEON MADDOX AND THE REGULARS
WERE SHOT DOWN IN A ROCKY DEFILE.
Parties arrived in Ell Paso, Texas, last even
ing from Silver City, New Mexico, bringing adj
ditional particulars of the disastrous surprise
of regular troops near Alma, New Mexico last
Saturday, by . band of Apache guerillas. Two
officers and four troopers were killed outright,
detachment comprised 35 men all told, being
a portion OF Troop {, Sth cavalry, stationed
regularly at San Antonio: They were part OF
ing through O rocky defile in the mountains at
about 2 O'Clock in the afternoon when sud
a dozen rifles from the rocks above echoed
along the mountains. The red devils had Sc
creted themselves behind high rocks, and
there laid in wait for the unSuspecting soldiers.
The attack was SO sudden, SO well directed and
timed, that the troops were thrown into state
gaeas oe the fle Geca am un
from the spot as quickly as possible, leaving the
dead behind. Scarcely an Indian was to be
seen, and only the smoke OF their rifles told
where the Apaches lay hidden. Such a thing
as dislodging them was clearly impossible with
SO small q force. After riding, a short distance
and caring for the wounded the troops dis
mounted and cautiously approached the spot
where the attack was made. Upon scaling the
mountains not an Indian was to be found.
They had not descended and mutilated the
bodies, as is their custom, but immediately
after the soldiers retreated the Indians sought
their ponies and took the mountain trail, going

Mrs. Magee Set at Liberty and Her Hus.
band Held for Trial.

LONDON, Dec. pa magesterial examina-
ton OF the case OF John and Sarah Magee, who
were arrested on the 18th instant at kenning-
ton on the charge of attempting to procure
money from the Prince OF Wales by writing
threatening letters, was held to-day. The let
tiers referred 10 stated that four men had been
appointed to murder the Prince of Wales tor
$500 each, and the Magees offered to inform
on the intended assassins, provided they were
given FL 900 and a free pardon. The detectives
WHO were detailed to work up the case met the
Magees by appointment and gave them
Il package containing five hundred far
things. This was done to lead the
prisoners into believing by the size of the parcel
that their request was being fully complied
with, so that the detectives might get the whole
story from the Magees and see If there was any
truth in it. On Magee discovering that the
package contained farthiDgs instead of pound
pieces, he upbraided the prince for his treach-
cry, demanded 81 500 and threatened TO shoot
the policemen VINO arrested him. The crown
prosecutor believing that Mrs. Magee was inno-
cent OF the crime, and that she was entirely
under the influence of her husband, withdrew
the charge against her and she was discharged
from custody. 1t was proved by a draft OF the
letters found i'm Magees pocketbook that the
letters were In his handwriting. he was COM
mitted for trial.

SNOW SLIDE IN COLORADO.
Two Miners Buried at the Bottom {
an Eighty-five Root shaft.


DENvER, COL, Dec. pa special to the Ne,cs
from Silverton says: A snow slide came down
the mountain into Minnesota guich yesterday
afternoon, sweeping everything before it. The
slide struck the mouth of the Prodigal Son
mine, filling the eighty-fiv foot shaft and bury
ing Burk Hovey and j. NJ. Scales. who were
working at the bottom of the shaft at the time
OF the accident. The snow was packed SO tightly
that it was found to be impossible to move the
bucket, which went TO the bottom when struck
by the snow. A rescuing party Is at work, but
all hope of reaching the imprisoned men before
life shall have become extinct has been
abandoned
