ANOTHER DIPLOMATIC TANGLE.
Gresham's Anxiety to Aid Smith
Weed Likely to Cause Trouble

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-A question has
recently arisen for the determination of
the State Department affecting the rela-
tions of the United States with the coun-
tries of Central and South America and
the independent republics of the West
Indies. Several years ago the President OF
Santo Domingo forcibly entered the prem
ises of French bank there and took from
the vaults a considerable sum of money
which he alleged to be owing to him. The
matter being reported to tine French gov
ernment formal demand was made for
restoration which refused. The
French government indicated a purpose of
sending some war vessels to Santo Domin-
go to enforce coilection. The Dominican
government being in financial straits in
1855, made an arrangement with the firm of

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The officials of
the State and Navy Departments are dis
posed to discredit the story that there has
been any trouble at Bluefields. There is
no United States war-ship nearer that port
than the Atlanta, which has been at Colon
for several weeks. This vessel was sent
cruise along the entire eastern coast
of Central America from Honduras down
to the isthrnus with special instructions
to look after American interests. Her COM
mander's reports showed shat everything
was quiet at the ports he visited, Bluefields
among the others. 1t is assumed that he
is in position to hear as promptly as any
one of the reported trouble with Bluefields
and that he would inform the Navy Depart
ment at once. There are a few American
vessels plying between Bluefields and the
United States, engaged in the tropical
trade, but the officials here cannot con-
ceive any reason why they should be in
terfered with in a hostile way by any
British man of war. and their belief is that
If any of these ships has been disabled as

Some Chance for the Southern
California Railroad Bill
PROD YOUR FRIENDS UP
The Mathews aud BuIla Measures Have
Good Show
Files, but II the Delegation Rush
Action lay Be Had

Sacramento, March 3.-The Mathews
railroad bill has been reported from the
Committee on Corporations and is on file
for a first reading A brief discussion
concerning the constitutionality of the
bill has been printed and distributed to
members of the Legislature, and the Sen
ator will make every effort to bring it up
for second reading and amending this
week, but the special and urgency files are
both very long, and it is doubtful if it can
be reached, as there are the suffrage bills
and number of special appropriation
and other important measures that must
be considered first.
The bill in relation to the bonding of
counties of the second class should be
back from the printers, and the Senate
bill introduced by Mathews under sus-
pension OF the rules, on Friday last by
Monday. They will then go to the Com
mittee on Corporations, of which Orr is
chairman, and possibly can be reported
back by Wednesday. They will probably
then go to the Judiciary Committee, and
possibly will get place on the file of the
Senate by Friday, certainly not sooner.
There are some features of the bill that
may be changed, especially that of allow
ing the railroad to be leased, to which
Senator Mathews himself is opposed and
probably many of the other Senators will
not favor.
In the Assembly Bulla's railroad bill,
the same as that introduced by Matthews
and referred to the above committee, has
come back from the printer, and has
passed the Corporation Committee, of
which Pendleton is chairman, and will
get on the file Monday. 1t is impossible
to say when it will be reached as there
are many bills ahead of it. Every effort
by the delegation will be made to pass it
and the only question is that of time. All
friends OF the bill should write to all
members they know in the Legislature of
both houses urging them to help the bill
along and it will pass. The longer the
session the more chance of it's passing.

FOLLOWED THE PAY CAR
Union Pacific Railway Pay Checks
Raised With Acid
4 Band Of Forgers Operate In Very Clever
and Cunning Manner AN Entirely
New System

Denver, Colo, March 3.-One OF the
most systematic and ingenious check
swindling schemes ever successfully car
Yied out in America has just been un-
earthed in this city, the victims being the
Union Pacific Railway Company, nearly
every bank In Denver and several dry
goods and other houses. The methods
used by the swindlers shows them to be
master criminals as daring as they are
dishonest.
Early last month the Union Pacific pay
ear left Omaha on its regular monthly trip
70 Salt Lake City with the wages of the
company's employees. Closely follow
ing the car came gang of
check raisers, and its members left the
marks of their skill with acid ink and
pen in nearly every town where Union
Pacific employees reside. The full extent
OF their operations and the loss to the
company or those who took the raised sal
airy checks is not yet fully known.
The gang visited the hotels and saloons
most frequented by the railroad men,
where large portion of the checks were
cashed or traded in and bought them up
for cash. In value, the checks ranged
from $40 to 500, but each one was skill
fully raised to $11O and passed for that
amount at banks and stores. In every
instance the raised checks were rendered
for some small purchases SO that the gang
received nearly the entire amount in cash.

WRECK OF THE ANNA MArHILDE
How the Little Schooner Went on the Rock
and Was Lost

San Diego, March 3.-The particu-
lars of the wrecking of the little
schooner Anna Mathilde, at Elida Island,
off the Lower California Coast, were re-
ceived by the steam.r Pacheco today,
from Ensenada.
The Anna Mathilde was moored off the
island while her crew gathered guano and
placed it aboard of her by small boats.
On the 18th day of February a very
heavy blow set in and the port
anchor chain parted, and the vessel
drifted upon a sandy beach on the island.
The crew of six men got off in a small
boat and passed the island, being taken
on the schooner Lou to the mainland.
The Lou, having no papers did not put
into Ensenada but landed the men thirty
miles down the coast from which point
they walked to Ensenada, where they took
passage ON the Pacheco, arriving here to-
day. The Anna Mathilde is total loss.
