THE ADMINISTRATION AND SpAN.-The
Washington correspondent of the New York
journal of Commerce says, alarm exists there
among conservative men respecting the de-
signs of the administration with regard to
Spain, as circumstances have come to light
which show that design is cherished by the
President, to plunge the country into war
with Spain, and at a very early day. How
he can do it, is a question that may be asked
We have seen heretofore how a Presi-
dent can do it. He may bring on a collision
through the Navy. He may do it merely BY
winking at the proceedings of the fllibustcrs,
and permit them to fit out expeditions against
Cuba from our ports. He has been led, it is
believed, to suppose that war for Cuba, at
this juncture, will be popular; and that Con-
gress will be driven, by new clamor, into
grant of supplies for the prosecution Of the
war, at the Presidents discretion. Once en-
gagged in the war, we may not be able to back
out from it, and no one can tell where it will
end.

Another Fight with Indians OH
the Texan Frontier.

DR.. Williams, of the U. S. Army, who ar
rived in Galveston about ten days ago, direct
from the Rio Grandc, informs the News of
that city that the statement concerning the
capture of a government train, the killing OF
a wagon master and five transfers, the driv-
ing off of large number of mules, &C., near
Fort Ewell, was substantially correct. He
also furnished the editor with the following
intelligence, from which it appears that Ser
geant McNally, Baltimorcan, has distin-
guished himselfin recent expedition against
thr marauding Indians:
Immediately on the receipt of the aforc-
going disastrous intelligence at Fort Ewcll,
Sergeant McNally, of the Mounted Rifles, was
despatched with an efficient detachment of
men in pursuit of the maraudcrs. They soon
struck their trail, and followed it as rapidly
as possible. Indeed so rapid and determined
was the pursuit, that Sergeant McNally and
his command. in order to rid themselves of
every incumbrancc that they could possibly
dispose of, threw away their rifles, and lcav-
ing five of their jaded horses behind, event
ahead, with no other arms than their rcvolv-
ers. BY these means Surgcant NlcNaly sue
ceeded in overtaking the Indians, who, find
ing themselves so holly pursued, abandoned
their booty, and even their own horses and
entire equipage, and fled, disorderly and pre-
cipitately, into the dense Businesses of a neigh.
boring chaparal. All the mules which had
been captured by the Indians from the gov
eminent train, together with all their own
horses, guns, bows and arrows, buffalo rugs,
lassos, paint, and general equipage, fell into
the hands of the intrepid McNally and his
determined followers"

The Apaches fought with bravery aim ost

selected thcirown position, on a rugged noun
