\ Hairs in Kansas.

Trim the ST. Louis Democrat Dec. 1911
We had an interview last evening with |
Gen Shankland, Just returned from the scene
OF the late difficulties in Kansas, giving us
very interesting information of the present
position of affairs in the territory. lie in
forms us that the report published in this
city yesterday afternoon Of the surrender Of
their arms by the people of Lawrence is
totally incorrect. The propositions of peace
came from Atchison and Shannon, at u coun-
ell held in Lawrence last Friday and saturday,
at which treaty of peace was concluded. -
To the demand made upon them to obey the
laws aud deliver up their arms, the people Of
Lawrence responded by protesting constant
willingness to do the former, but naty rctus-
ing to yield the latter point.
| On these terms, hostiities were terminal
| ed, and the Missouri troops received orders
on Sunday morning to disbind. The Mis-
sourlans were armed with rcyolycrs and
double barrellcI shot guns, and were for the
most part mounted they were cucamp'd
| at Wakarusa, on the road fir IN Lawrence to
| Westport, six miles from the former place,
! and at LecOmptOn on tho Kansas river ten
miles west of Lawrence, being at no time
more than six hundred strong at Wakaru-;,,
or more thau two huudret at LnnomrlJ1.-
Inc rec Stdtn men amount to seven lundred
| in Lawrence all armed with sharp rifles,
! NHltc TWO nullurtl more COuli Easily hlNc
been gathered from the adjoining country
and were therefore in no fear Of the result,
had collision unfortunately arisen,
The disbanding gave rise to general muir
murs and excavations Of Shannon among the
Missouri troops. Most of them reached
Nestport on sunday night, having suffered
intensely during the previous night from Il
terrible storm ct rain, snow, and wind, winch
terminated in piercing cold, They lost many
horses, some having been stolen by the
Indians, some having strayed away, ana
others having died at Westlort from fatigue
They also lost many OF their arms.
AT Westport they threatened to tear down
the hotel at Kansas City, and committee
from that place was appointed to 60 to
WestpOrt to demonstrate, the inhabitants
determining to defend the hotel at all hazards
, should the romonstranco fail Of effect. Ne
demonstration, however, was made.
We learn, more over, that the report Of the
shooting of two or three OF the free state mer
is without foundations Tie only man shot
