DENVER, November lathe Associated
Press at this point received the following
from Albuquerque, New Mexico, this morn.
ing: The information regarding Cutting
sent you Thursday night was a forgery.
The forgery was committed by one Capt.
Friend, who seeks notoriety. He is a
crank. The regular Associated Press agent
has been absent from the city for a week
consequently he had nothing to do with
the matter. When he learned here a tele-
gram had heen sent you inquiry was made
Immediately at the telegraph office, where
it was learned that Capt. Friend offered a
dispatch to the Associated Press agent at
Denver signed ~. G.. A." The operator,
supposing the dispatch genuine from the
TACT that Friend was an employee of
Albright at one time, sent it. The dispatch
was written and sent without the knowl-
edge of any one connected with the Demo-
crat, and was q forgery of his initials.
Albright, who il the Associated Press rep
at this point, the Democrat
believes there ia: not q word of truth in
the recruiting OF an expedition to invade
Mexico, the foreman of that pape having

Tor a position as compositor, giving the
reason that he wanted to get away from

MurderouS ARRAY in q Prison.
PIrrsBURG, Feb. A serious affray
occurred in Riverside %penitentiary this
morning, in which Deputies McKain.
Greaves and Edwards were injured, the
two former dangerously. A prisoner,
named Jones Clarke, who is serving a
sentence of seven years for burglary, had
been ordered to the dungeon for an in
fraction of the rules. McKain and
Greaves repaired TO his cell to escort him
to the dungeon. He promised to go
quietly, but in an unguarded moment
turned upon them with a large knife
which he had secreted in his coat. He
first made a desperate lunge at McKain
and plunged the knife into his neck, and
her stabbed him in his right temple.
Turning from McKain, he thrust the
bloody weapon INTO Greaves' right shout
der twice. Deputy Edwards hearing the
noise came to the aid of McKain and
Greaves, but before he could render them
assistance, Clarke felled him to the ground
with a terrible blow, and jumping on him,
beat and kicked him in a frightful man
ner. BY this time the guard had been
alarmed and Clarke wa overpowered and
placed in the dungeon. The injured men
were removed to the hospital for exam
nation. Their injuries showed McKain
to have been perhaps MORALLY wounded;
Greaves and Edwards are seriously hurt,
but will recover.

is thought that a number of persons in
town are in league with the thieves To
pillage the city, which is the terminus OF q
division of the Mexican Central railroad,
in the state of Durango. 1t is believed
that the large quantity of bullion which is
brought here for shipment to the United
States has excited the cupidity OF the
bandits. The authorities have done every

A Proper Answer.

WASHINGTON, Feb. A. The cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by all the
members, except Secretary lamar, who
is not in good health. The principal
topic of discussion was the action of the
house of representatives, yesterday, in
adopting Mr.. BANDS resolution calling
on the secretary of the treasury for infor
nation in regard to his past and future
policy on the silver question. The pro-
priety and expediency of disclosing the
future policy of the administration on this
question was considered at length. 1t is
understood that the conclusion reached
was that the secretary could best reply to
that portion of the resolution by reference
to the views expressed by the president in
his message to congress, and by the sec
Rotary of the treasury in his annual re-
port, on the subject, with an explanatory
statement that these sentiments in regard
to silver remained unchanged.

Tho Austrian Corvette Disaster.
NEW York, Feb. Capt. Herbert,
who was at the wheel of the tugboat
Blanche Page when she ran down and
capsized the longboat of the Austrian
corvette Donau, last night, whereby one
officer and five seamen lost their lives,
was examined in the police court this
afternoon. Lieut.. Philip Szcend Won
Kereztzs, of the Donau, presented an
affidavit in which he gave the names of
the lost men as follows: Midshipman
Otto Karsch, OF Wilma; Seamen Thomas
Tauzer, of Vienna; Joseph Ziparich, Of
Tune; John Mathezau, of Grade; John
L%orenzin, of San Vigautt, and Marx Mar
tinovitch, of Spolato. The affidavit re-
cited the fact of the drifting of the
launch and of the despatch of the long
boat from the corvette after it, the latter
being manned by those whose names are
given, with seven others who were picked
up. The use of signal lamps by the sea
men was sworn to, and then the disaster
which occurred despite the ~precaution of
the men IN the boat. The loss of life is
charged to the ''culpable negligence OF
the defendant" and the facts sworn to
are corroborated by one of the seamen.
Herbert was held in 5 $500 for exami-
nation.

Mexlcnn Explanations.

WASHINGTON, Feb. At is believed,
at the war department, that the killing Of
Capt. Crawford by Mexican troops was
the result of an accident, and that the
Mexicans fired on his command under the
impression that they were hostiles. The
statement hat the United States scouts
had stock in their possession at the time
of the attack, which had been stolen in
the vicinity, is explained by Lieut.. Maus'
report, that they had just captured it from
hostile Indians. 1t is also explained that
Capt Crawford was unable to show the
identity of his command at the outset of
the firing by the Mexicans, because of his
Ignorance of the nature of the attack and
the general decentralization which it
caused.
