The Coins Were Better than Uncle SAINT

Ton Pressure Stamp, Foundln
Placer County, Cal.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 23.--News reached
Col. john L. Murphy. of the treasury
secret service here, Friday evening OF
the arrest in Placer county, Cal, of the
man who has been making the danger
GUS silver dollar counterfeits that for
time worried the government almost
rs much as the discovery of the Si0O
counterfeit silver certificate. These
counterfeits first made their appear.
ance In ST. Louis n few months
ago. Their chief danger lay in
the fact that, being OF silver,
OF intrinsically greater value than the
genuine coin, and corresponding close
ly in weight, feel" and ring, as well
as general appearance. with the gen.
uine. they were almost impossible OF
detection.
Several OF them successfully passed
the scrutiny OF experts in the st. Louis
banks, aud they were only discovered
after passing through many hands aud
reaching the St. Louis subtreasury.
Chief Murphy has been hard NJ work
trying to trace them ever since.
When they made their appear
ance in San Francisco. government of.
fcers also went TO work in that dis
trict, and the telegram received by
Chief Murphy announced the result OF
their endeavors.
The man under arrest Is William
Hepburn, and he was arrested in his
cabin in a secluded spot Besides the
ordinary paraphernalia necessary for
counterfeiting, there was found in the
cabin u huge press, by means Of which
the coins were cut out of strips of sill
YER, alleged as nearly in accordance
with the alloy used by the government
as the mans skill would allow. The
cutting and stamping were done stimuli
taneously. and 10o-ton pressure was
used, while the press used by the gov
ernment is capable OF but acton pres
sure.
On account OF the appearance Of the
counterfsits. IA ST. Louis before they
were heard from elsewhere, II is be-
lieved by the government agents that
they were passed here first rs a mat
ter OF precaution, the desire being to
Introduce them at IA distance from the
point of their manufacture. 1t is be-
lieved that at least one member OF the
supposed gang OF junterfeiters will
be found in ST. Louis.

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE
An English Voice Raised in Favo,
Thereof
London Times Co respondent Declares
that Cuba Must be Free-Spain Not
In II Commercially with the
United States.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 2l.-Charles Aker
a special correspondent of the London
Times, left here yesterday morning
for Cuba via Tampico. Mr.. Aker hat
just completed an extended tour OF
more than six months duration through
the republics of South America. The
severest arraignment of Weyler's Cuban
policy was that OF Mr.. Akers, which
appeared in a New York paper, and
Akers called on the American people
to leave Armenia to be dealt with by
the Europeans and think of the AR
menia at their own doors.
MIR. Aker, before leaving, expressed
himself as profoundly slzeptical as to
the success Of autonomy in Cuba.
"Such system" said he, might
have succeeded years ago, but now it
will fail. Neither Spanish or Cuban
minds are in fit state for theintroduc.
ton of colonial, regime. The idea of
the Spaniards is that they will be able
to secure certain trade advantages by
retaining Cuba as self-governed col.
ony, but they are woefully mistaken.
In fair field for all the Spanish trade
will stand no show in Cuba, but will
assuredly be ousted by American COM
petition. Even now in the single item
OF flour, which is staple article of
Importation into Cuba, the importion
is severely felt, good deal Of that
article that comes from Spain is only
re-exported from that country, being
really of American production. The
greater proximity and superior cheap
ness of production would, under any
thing approaching an equal trad g
policy, give the United States an ad-
van tage in the Cuban market against
which Spain could not hope for mo-
ment TO contend"
Mr.. Alser remarked that the trouble
which is being given to Spain now in
Havana is caused by Spaniards and not
by Cubans.

UP AGAINST THE LAW.
The Colorado Game Warden Threatens to
Spoil the Stockmen's Barbecue.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 24.-There is Q
prospect for serious difficulty on the
occasion OF the barbecue to be given in
connection with the stock growers
convention, January 81. The commit
tee having the affair in charge has
secured buffalo, elk, antelope
mountain sheep and quail for the
spread. The killing aud serving OF
all these animals at this time of year
is contrary to Colorado law, and Game
Warden Swan has announced in the
most positive terms that any attempt
to carry out the programme will result
in the confiscating of the game and the
arrest of all those responsible in the
matter, even If he has TO call out the
state militia.
The management OF the barbecue,
on the other hand, declare that the
game is already in cold storage. Many
of the members of the committee are
well-lxnown stoclSmen who have repu.
tations for determination, and it is
freely predicted that the game warden
will meet very rough treatment If he
attempts TO interfere with the pro
gramme arranged.
