dians in that region arc becoming
very troublesome. Lately they have
committed two or three murders, and
in the open day entered white en-
campments and drove away horses
and mules with the greatest audacity.
-Four hundred and fifty head of horses

white settlements within very few

TIE CASE OF THE HoRNEr BEronE
TIE CABINEr.-Information was re-
ceived in Washington on the 9TH inst,
by the government that tho Cuban
privateer Hornet, or Cuba, had put
into tho port of Wilmington, N. c.,
through stress Of weather, and that
shc had been detained by the United
States authorities at that point. The
United States Marshal tolcgraphed
this morning tho above facts aud ask
cd for instructions. The President
sent for the Secretary of tho Navy,
Secretary Fish and Attorney-General
lloar, and consultation cnsued. 1t
was shown that privatecr-whioh
the Cuba is shown to bo-could come
into the port of any nation under
stress of weather, and remained twen-
ty-four hours without molestation or
detention. Beyond this it is not
thought that the Cuba could remain
in an American port without laying
tho government open to the charge Of
harboring privatoer fitted out with
the avowed purpose of prcying on the
commerce Of u nation with which tho
United States is Mt peace. 1t is un-
dcrstood that tclc ram was sent to
tho United States Marshal for North
Carolina inquiring how long tho Cuba
had been in port, and other facts and
circumstances connected with the case
Up to late hour this evening no re-
ply had been received. 1t is thought
hero that the Cuba did not remain
over the prescribed time and has got
to soa again. If it should turn out
that tho Cuba was ready to depart
within twcnty.four hours after sho
came into port, but was prevented
from so doing by the United States
Marshal, of course sho will bo releas-
cd, tho fault not being her captains,
but that of the Marshal.
