stOIid Behavior of the Prisoner.
Especial dispatch by International Line.l
BANGOR, Feb. 26.-The trial of Howard A.
Cleveland closed this afternoon, the jury, after
an hours deliberation, returning verdict of
guilty. The prisoner, up to the very close of
the trial, has maintained the same stoldity Of
demaannr which he hos manifested through
out: Even when the verdict of guilty was
pronounced by the foreman of the jury, he
showed not the slightest emotion or appear
ance of disappointment at the result. When
remanded to Jail, after the jury had retired to
deliberate, speaking of the judges charge, he
remarked with coarse guffaw that 1.-THE old
fellow did WE'LL" After hearing the verdict of
the jury and returning to the Jail to await his
sentence, he said he guessed they'd find out
in a couple of years whether he was guilty,
time would tell" but appeared to have no real
izing sense of his situation. The case has been
most ably managed by the counsel for the Gov
ernment, while the counsel for the defence did
the best possible with the meagre material at
their disposal. The interest in the case has
increased from the commencement, the Court
House being continually packed to overflow
ing by an interested auditory, who kept their
seats even after the adjournment of the Court,
when the jury went out, confident that they
would not be long in making up their verdict.

ANOTHER BATTLE WITH THE INDIANS.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 26.-A letter from General
Sheridan's headquarters, dated in the field,
Jan. 31st, says the Indians report another en-
gagement between the forces under command
of Col. Hayes, of the Sd regular cavalry and
the Indians took place between the 18th and
20th of January, at point ten days travel
west of the Wachita Mountains, in which the
troops were successful, totally destroying an
Indian village, and killing eight of the saw
ages.
Gen. Custar, in communication to Gen.
Sheridan, from his camp on the south fork of
Red river, corroborates the report as having
come through Indian carriers.
1t was Col Evans command that gave the
Indians such drubbing on Christmas day.
The news of the fight comes through the In.
dians, but Gen. Sheridan entertains no doubt
that such an engagement took place. There
are struggling bands of savages made up of
several fighting tribes and it is probable that it
was with these that Evans had the fight refer
