days. The work of laying out the districts 10 be as

completed TO-DAY and submitted to Secretary Nc
Culloch for his approval About half OF the number

The Recent Indian Council ut Fort Larncd-
Report Of the Superintendent Of Indian
Affairs.
Superintendent OF Indian Affairs Murphy writes TO
the Indian Bureau from Fort Ellsworth Kansas,
under date of July 20, informing the Commissioner
OF his arrival at that place the 2sth ult. The next
who informed him that he had recently about ten
days previous 10 the date OF the Superndens letter
met In council at Fort Larned the Kiowas, Co
manches Apaches, Cheyennes and Arapahoes. The
Cheyennes were cross and sullen because OF not
having received their supply OF arms and ammu-
milton from the government while the Kiowas and
Comanches were suen and impudent because Of the
scarcity OF provisions among them. General Suy
had collected all Of the army that was effective
in the neghborhood OF Fort Larned and
posted them In proper position, which had a
good effect upon the refractory Indians, and
they had stated their willingness to await
the action Of their Great Father In sending them
provisions. The reason why the Kiowas have not
been supplied with arms and ammunition is because
Of their recent violations Of treaty stipuatons they
having made upon the Kaws Who are friendly
10 the whites, besides having invaded the govern.

twelve hundred lodges consisting Of six thousand
Indians were present at the council held 10y General

than starve, which may lead to other serious diilcu

from suffering for food. The Indian Department,
however, feels assured that with the means OF pro-
vision now under the direction Of General sherman
