Murder Of Twenty-six Men by Indian.


We are put in possession of the
following particulars by Mr.. Bern
ard O'Haulon, who arrived from
Victoria yesterday on the steamer
Northerner. Mr.. O'Ilanlon left So.
miahmoo on Thursday night last for
Victoria, and just previous /, his
leaving, a hunter came in, who IL
ported that the Couhegan and Stick
cen Indians had murdered a party OF
twenty-six men in the Couhegan
Pass, between Frazer River and
Point Roberts. 1t seems that some
ninety emigrants from Australia had
located themselves st Point Roberts
for the time being, and the murdered
men are supposed to be Of their
number. 1t was thought that the
act had been committed in revenge
for the killing OF a "zec," or chief OF
the Stickeens, perpetratcd a short
time previous by some parties con-
nected with trading schooner, the
name Of which is unknown. The
people Of Semiahmoo are prepa ing
to resist an attack, as the Couhegans
and Stickeens are two OF the most
warlike and determined tribes in that
region. -[San Francisco Herald.

From Washington

WASHINGTON, March 14.-The re-
port of the Board Of Army Officers,
appointed by the Secretary Of War
to look into the army expenditures,
and other matters, with a view to
retrenchment, recommends the aban
donment of most OF the interior posts
beyond the Western line of settle
meDts. They are maintained at
great expense and suffering, to no
purpose.
Shortly after these posts are bnilt,
they are generally abandoned, and
the cost is thrown away. Last year,
five Of these posts were abandoned,
and within ten years, fifty.
The Board recommends the ad-
vance OF the corps of the army from
the Western frontier, in the Spring,
to the interior or across the Cont
nent, and to return to the settle
nents in the Winter.
The Times Washington cores
pondent says that the news from
Mexico alarms the Tehauntepec gen.
tlemen.

jamin prevented the recognition o
Senor Mata.

the Tehauntepec interest secured
