Business is very lively here, many boats

Of trains about to cross the plains, mostly
belonging to Government. They will be
protected on the route by troops. The
Indians are numerous and very troublesome

Nuuerous families from New England are

we were all indignant about the cruelty, but the TACT

that the old story has been revived it creates strong

responsibility upon himself generating Col Villatta
Who according to the Minister. acted by order
But the Minister'S declaration did not improve the
Colonels position. 1t was asked how it happened

deserers who had all served with us, only those were

into personal difficulty until it oozed out that they
did il BY Ministerial order That order was Published

had to yield to certain extent to that agitation, putting
all the ships coming from suspected places into quaran
