A BAD INDIAN.
The Rancheros Settle Him


nOtoriously bad Indian, known as Cinnabar
John. says the Humboldt (Nevada) Register, of the
22d ult, was killed by party OF rancheros in the
East Range on last Tuesday. The circumstances
connected with the affair were given us as foows:-
Mr.. George LambertsOn, who had been in Unionville
on business returning to his ranch in Pleasant
Valley, on last Monday, and when crossing the East
Range, about midway between Leechs and Donley's
ranches, he met squaw, who begged him to save
her. Before he had time to learn the cause OF her
fears Cnnabar John and two other Indians
appeared on the ground, and commenced an
assault on him with stones and other mis-
ses with the intention, he supposed, of
killing him. He, however managed to escape from
them with few slight wounds and bruises, and
arrived at Donley's ranch late that night. Next
morning three or four men employed on the ranch
started in pursuit of the Indians and succeeded in
taking Cinnabar John, whom they killed on sight.
This Indian has long been terror to the Settlers and
noted for his stock-steang and devilish procv-
titles. Capt. Sou once delivered him up to Lance
Nightingale, when the latter acting Indian Agent
in this district, but upon promises of future good
behavior being given, he was released and permitted
to go unpunished 1t is generally believed that he
was the leader OF the party of Indians who waylaid
and killed Ragan in Evans canon four years ago
Neither the whites nor the peaceable Indians from
whom he had stolen the squaw above mentioned
will regret his DEATH

STILL ANOTHER EXPEDITION.
Two Hundred and Fifty Men 20 sail on Monda

Two Hundred and Fifty Men TO Sail on Monday.
The activity among the Cubans in this city is
now almost superhuman. There are not more
than twenty-five hundred natives of the ever
faithful isle in New York. but they are moving
heaven and earth TO succor the insurrectiOnists
In their struggle. Not day passes but the
Junta sends commissioned officers or aid in
some material shape to Cuba. number of
officers went by rail to New Orleans or by boat
to Norfolk, and from Norfolk they have been
transported by sundry vessels to Grand Inagua
Island. From this place it is easy to reach the
Bay OF Nipe, which is now the principal place of
Decentralization. An attempt was made to land
by party OF sixteen filibusters from schooner
which laid off the Bay of Nipe eleven days ago.
The schooner burned blue-light to allow the
boat TO go ashore. Signals were made from
sai-boat which was sent out by the Cubans to
direct the party When within half a mile of
the shore, cutter from Spanish man-of-war
which had steamed into the harbor sighted the
boats crew from the schooner and pursued her
The men in the flibuster's boat tried to escape
as they were not well armed, but the man-of-
wars mans crew came up, and combat of n
few minutes duration took place. Six of the
filibusters were killed, and one an officer aud n
native OF Portsmouth, New Hampshire, who
had served with Count Rassonet de Boul-
bon, was shot in the forehead; the bullet
tearing away his eyelid. Maddeued with
the pain, he jumped overheard, and as
he was about to escape his head was cloven by
the axe of Spanish sailor who leaned over the
bow of the boat to strike him. By this time the
sail-boat of the Cubans had approached the
scene of the deadly combat, and New Yorker,
who sat on the bows, threw huge stone into
the bottom of the Spanish cutter, which made o
hole in her planks. The Spaniards had then
enough to do to save themselves, and but for
assistance from the steam frigate, which it is
believed was the Isabel Catolica, the cutter
would have sunk. The remaining filibusters
were taken ashore by the sail-boat, and are now
serving under the Marquis of Santa Lucia. The
vigilance of the Spanish men-of-war is now SO
thorough that it is almost impossible to land
troops or material. Two hundred and fifty men
are now awaiting transportation in thisScity, and
it is expected that they will get off on Monday.

suggestion may provoke a smile with those who
are in the habit of taking more comprehensive
views of international questions than the West

is given with the object of showing the spirit

The new contractors for excavating the
Hoosac Tunnel are pushing the work ahead
quite rapidly. During the month ofJune they
drove the heading at the east end in lG0
feet, and it is now over a mile and an eight.
The first week in July they made 30 feet,
and the next week 10 feet The first and
second enlargmepts are also being pushed
ahead vigorously They are having new
drills made to operate on the root, which
they hope to have in operation in September
and by which they expect to increase their
progress very materially. They are also
erecting buildings near the mouth ofthe tun-
mel for four additional eompressors, so az to
give them more power. They will be run by
steam. They have now 200 men at work at
the cast end, divided in three gangs, which
work continuously resting only from mid
night Saturday TO midnight Monday. The
| central shaft ia down about 100 feet, and i:
sunk at the rate Of more than foot day
At the west end they have ust got fairly al
work, and they expect to make over | 90 fee
