ST. LOUIS, July %.
A letter from Ellsworth, Kansas, 23d,
says the Indian question has assumed new
phase. All the tribes that, were at Fort
Larned have left, and no one knows where
they have gone. Small parties are met by
persons coming in from, the Plains, but
they hold no communion with the whites,
which is sign they mean mischief. The
opinion prevails that they have gone South
with their women and children, and that
they will soon swarm on the railroad line
and routes traversed by traders with hos
tile purposes. Reports arrive daily OF their
killing people and robbing trains.
General Sulley is still at Larned and has
ordered the troops in his department to
camp on the line of the Arkansas river
Fort Zarah'will be fully garrisoned and 9TH
er preparations will be made to meet any
emergencies that may arise. 77'1er ,7J-a1f =
