(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) The defence in the Surratt trial has developed un-
expected strength. Numerous witnesses of respec-

directly contradicts the principal testimony for the
prosecution. A strong effort is being made to prove
an alibi for the prisoner. Three witnesses have
sworn to seeing him in the town of Elmira, New
York, on the day of the assassination. One of the
principal prosecution witnesses (one Cleaver) has
been proved to have been convicted of rape, and to
be now awaiting a new trial under a charge of
manslaughter.
The Indians in Arizona are committing great out-

ritorial authorities have strongly appealed to the
national Gouernment for their extermination.
