when the Spanish merchantmen Buena
Ventura was sighted, bound north. The
gunboat Nashville ran her down and
put shot across her bows from the
four-inch gun on the port side aft,
manned by Lieut.. Dillingham;. The
Spaniard ignored the shot, butanother,
closer to her bows, brought her to. A
prize crew under Ensign I. p. Magruder
was put aboard. Capt. Lucarraga, in
command of her, was astounded. He
said he did not know that war had been
declared, but when informed of the
state of affairs he shrugged his shout

Widber, treasurer of the city and coun-
ty of San Francisco, is accused of hav-
ing embezzled 100000 of the municipal

Then the coin sacks had been fastened
and the several ends of the string con-
cealed in the natural folds of the can
vas bags.
