REBELLION In KANSAS.

Three Thousand Men Armed TO RE
sLst the Law-TwO ObnO \ IOus CItI-
Zens Seized and Hung-ENc IIement
Among Settlers, etc.
From the Lawrence TX ansas) Tribune. May a.
Last evening, while returning from a
visit to the border counties, we met on
the passenger train of the Missouri River,
Fort Scott and Gulf railroad a messen..
ger from the neutral lands on his way,
post haste, to Kansas City, to notify the
officers of the road of the startling action
Of the LAND Leaguers," or settlers OPP
posed to Mr.. Joy. From him we learn
that they have openly declared war
against the railroad company, and all
favoring them, and on Friday last, gave
an earnest of their intentions by hang>
ing two settlers on Coxie's creek, who had
proven up and paid for their land in Mr..
joys land office, thereby acknowledging
his title to the lands. One of the murdered
men was u Justice of the Peace, named
Little, and the other young man named
Keller. II was also reported that they
had shot another settler for the same
cause, but the messenger gave it only as
rumor. Also they had warned a number
of settlers, not in sympathy with them,
to leave, which command was being com
piled with, large numbers of them going
to Fort Scott for protection, while others
were leaving the State. From all the
information we could gain, the Lea9uers
number frem twenty~seven hundred to
three thousand men, well organized and
armed, and also determined in their hos.
tility to Mr.. joy 1t was reported that
they purchased about twenty-tiv
thousand rounds of cartridges
and quantity Of powder, in Kansas
City, last week. The messenger
informed us that the engineers party
was at work ON the line south Of Fort
Scott, and it was feared they would come
in collision with the settlers some time
the present week. Although it is diff,
cult, where so many TumOrs are atioat
to get at the truth, we have every reason
to believe that very serious state Of at
fairs is being Inaugurated there, that in al
probability will be attended with deplor
able consequences One Of the wOrs
features Of the case will be in the fac
that desperadoes and lswless men vii
take advantage of the disturbances t
commit many wanton Outrages and de
predations. We have made full Al
rangements to receive, st an early da,
an accurate statement Of the real condi
ton of affairs in that locality.

10. Itshould be regarded as the duty Of
all judicatories, ministers and people in
the united church TO study the things
which make for peace, and to guard
against all needless and offensive refer
ences to the causes that have divided us;
and in order tosayoid the revival Of past
issues by the continuance of any usage
in either branch OF the church that has
grown out of former conflicts, it is ear
nestly recommended to the lower judi
catories of the church that they conform
their practice in relation to all such
usages, as far as is consistent with their
convictions Of duty, to the general cnss
tom Of the church prior to the contro-
troyersies that resulted in the separation.
That the counsels ofInfnite Wisdom
may guide our decisions, and the bless,
ing ofthe Great Head of the church rest
upon the result of our efforts for reunion,
il is earnestly recommended TO the
churches throughout both branches that
they observe thesecond Sabbath in Sep
TENDER 1869, as a day Of fervent and
united prayer to Almighty God that He
would grant unto us all "the spirit Of
counsel and might, the spirit Of knowl-
edge and of the fear Of the Lord" and
in the new relations now contemplated
enable US to keep the unity Of the
spirit in the bonds Of peace" "'A -

IRAYERW0RTH, Ks, June 3.--Tht
Times and Conservative received the fa
lowing additional particulars OF the India
msasacres on Fossil creek:
The tongues and hearts were cut out 81
the dead bodies Of the men killed. The
calves of their legs were slit down and
tied under Their shoes pieces Of flesh cut
from their backs, pieces OF telegraph wits
stuck into their bodies, their ears cut of
and heads scaIped. John Park, Deputy
United States Marshal, reports that the
Indians boiled the hearts Of these men for
medicine. IL -. s,-E
The SNedish settlers..also we're attacked
on Spellman Greek; all lived in one house.
Only those were killed that left the house
and attempted 10 reach place Of greater
security. Those that remained in the
house were not molested. This occurred
in two or three instances.
The calamity is mainly attributable 10
the lack of arms, for wherever gun was
fred the Iodians made no fight. The Id
dams drove Oft considerable stock from
the above settlement.

| New York Herald from Havana, .Tune 2
via Key West, June 3, says q revslution
has broken out here, and the VOLUNTEERS
have compelled Gen. Dulce 10 setrendef
the Captain GeneraIship to Gen. Espinar
until the arrival of Gen. Podfas. es
Gen. Paiaiz is accused of receiving
seventy thousand dollars from the insur-
gents. He started for Cienfugos, but the vol !
unteers there would not allow him 10 land
He returned 10 Havana, and the volunteers
surrounded the Telegraph Hotel with
tin horns, etc and demanded his snrren-
der. The proprietor Of the hotel assured
the volunteers that he was not there, and
opened his doors and allowed them 70
search his house. The crowd then went
to the government palace, and entered un-
opposed by the guard and made the same
demand of Dulce, but be indignantly told
them 10 search everywhere. The officers
and men here determined to demand
the abdication of the Captain General.
The streets were filled with q rletous
crowd during the whole ofafbe night, and
a mob assembled at Plaza de Armas and
shouted death 10 Dulce.
A commission consisting Of Colonel
and two soldiers from each battalion this
morning had on interview with Dalce
aud demanded the Immediate relinquish-
mento of the command of the Island. Dulce
asL ed that time be allowed him TO receive
a reply 70 his telegraph for instructions
from Madrid. His reques! was refused,
and al nine o'clock he surrendered the
Office. The volunteers then dispersed.
Matters will probably remain quiet
until Deroda's arrival from Spain, although
Espinar is powerless against the Volun-
teers - a. Fg1zV ~ q EFsEEe
II is thought that Pa'aiz has gone 10

The advices from Santiago TO Thursday
last state that the fillibusters who recently

The government accounts Of the

much exaggerated, and the landing Of

An interviewer who visited Sen.
ator Sumner at his house, says that there
exists marked divergence between
the Senator and the President on the
question of Minister Motley's instruc-

taken on the Alabama question. This
account differs from the one previously
published, which was to the effect that
President Grant had humbly perused
the great speech three times over, and
perfectly agreed in all respects with the
grafton of the orator. 1t is possible that
the latest divergent" account is most
nearly correct.
