TIE REBEL LOAN.


no MORE TO BE ASKED FOR
The 3torniny Herald is assured, On indispu-
table authority, that the Confederate Govern
mcnt will not contract auy fresh loans In
Europe this year, nor In Ill likelihood till
after The close Of The war.
from Tue London News, March 31.l
With reference to rumor which continues
to be circulated, to the effect that the Confed-
crate Government contelnplates raising fur
thcr loan in this country, VIC have received
the following contradiction from an autlori-
tafiyc source:
ave arc informed on the best authority
TINT there exists no foundation whatever for
tie rumor that any othcrloan is contemplated
by the Confederate Government. The fact Is,
indeed, exactly reverse, Us they reduced the
sum rendered 10 them-a course it would hare
been absurd for those to take who were
desirons Of moro. As to my effect to be
produced by the success of this loan, it Is
clear VIC shall not hear Of it for considerable
period. There Is no reason whatever to sup
pose that 1t will alter the views under Ellich

MURDER BY THE INDIANs.-We are in
formed by Deputy Marshal J. c. Brown. Of
Port Angeles, that a white man known by
the name Of I" Cap" was murdered about ten
days ago, on Pish river, in Clalam county,
about fifteen miles below Port Angeles, by
Indians supposed to belong to the Quenaiult
reservation. II appears that Cap and his
partner, whose name is not known to our in.
formant, employed a number Of Indians to
dig potatoes, and on the day the murder was
committed the partner had gone to the coast
on hunting expedition. where information
was brought him by squaws Of the sad occur
renee. The partner Immediately proceeded
to Port Angeles, and laid the matter before
the authorities, A warrant was issued for
the apprehension Of the mrderers, and placed
in the hands of Deputy Hanson, but it had
not been served when Mr.. Brown left. The
greatest excitement prevails at Port Angeles.
and it is feared that summary punishment will
be visited upon the Indians. before the au-
thorities can act in the matter. Mr.. Brown
came to this place to confer with Superinten-
dent Hale, who will no doubt adopt such
measures as the exigency Of the case requires.
