CONGRESS an earnest effort will be made to
induce Congress to pass such legislation as
will enable the Peace Commission to carry
out its policy for the civilization and well
fare of the Indians, and to secure peace
on the Plains. Should Congress fail to
do this, the friends of the Commission say
that it will be humiliating confession
that the civil arm of the Government is
powerlesS in the Indian country to MAIN
tain peace. 4 detailed statement has been
prepared by parties favoring the peace
policy, showing that during the past 40
years the Indian wars have cost the gov
eminent over SS00,000,000 The amount
is rather startling, but seems to be based
on figures, for the loss of property and
cost of each Indian war from the Seminole
war down to the f5ht last year with the
Sioux.

Judge Cooley of the Sixth District
Court yesterday ordered the writ of gao
pcaranto, sued out by r. Il. Diamond, the
Chief of Police appointed by the Mayor,
against the Metropolitan Police Superin-
tendent, to be sustained, and ordered Su-
perintendant Cain not to interfere with
Mr.. Diamond in the discharge Of his du-
ties as Chief of Police. In his opinion
the Judge states that the Metropolitan
Police law does not deprive the municipal
authorities of the power to establish po-
lice force, and that it is optional with the
lefty to accept the police law, which is uu-
constitutional in many respects, among
others in making the Lieut.. Gov. president
of the police board, the Constitution pro-
hibiting one man holding two Offices. 1t
is reported that a new trial will be appli-
cd for.
Lieut.. Gov. Dunn, acting as president
Of the police board, has taken out an in
junction restraining Diamond from exercis-
ing the functions of Chief Of Police. This
injunction is still before the District
This mornings papers contain commu-
nication dated Havana, Nov. 25, signed
"Antonio Lucre, Secretary" purporting
to he from the representative of the Pro-
visonal Republican Government of Cuba
established in the town Of Bayoma, refut-
ing the reports circulated in reference to
the revolutionary movements in Cuba
They say the propositions for delay or to
lay down their arms on condition of the
Captain General guaranteeing certain re-
forms, were rcornfully and unhestatingly
rejected by the revolutionary chiefs, that
they are not fighting for reform but indie
pendenco. They conclude:
eve who are fully informed of every
thing going on, and particularly well in
formed as to the plans of the revo utionary
leaders, with whom we are in communica-
ton, beg to assert most positively that so
far from being disposed to lay down our
arms, we are about to strike blow that
will echo on the continent. We will Law
down our arms when Spain shall have rec
ognized our independence and not before,
notwithstanding Spanish contradictions and
assertions to the contrary.
