1t appears that General F. A. Starring, our Con-
suar Agent, In his report OF the investigation OF
Consul General Buffers AFFAIRS does not whitewash
or ex0nerate him. bat sustains, by voluminous evil
dence, the many charges deemed Official and reveals
frightful state Of affairs. The report has been at
the State Department for several weeks. Secretary
Fish found 1t SO interesting that he sat up whole
night in order to finish reading IL. 1t serves as q
kind OF novel for the State Department clerks and
just now furnishes Assistant Secretary Hale, who
was Buffers predecessor, with q volume Of
reading matter The report proves o sort
Of elephant. Secretary Fish does not
know what to do with it. and unless Congress
should call for IL il viii remain dead letter. Gen.
era Butler, however, is very anxious to see It, and
demands that copy be forwarded to him without
delay, request which the State Department has
now under consideration. Among the charges sus-
tanned are ignorance and neglect OF ONCE Violence
malicious persecution Of missionaries and certain
Americans In the Egyptian army appointing con-
sular agents without authority for pecuniary and
other considerations; dismissal Of authorized con-
sular oficers, retaining money turned over by mis-
sionaries belonging to minor child; abuse of off,
cial power and supposed completely in the assault
on Missionary strang, by Strologo, his outside man.
These are only o few Of the charges made. The
missionaries were at time resolved to seek the
protection OF foreign consuls but strang declared
that he would return to the United States before
he would submit to such humiliation. The where
abouts Of Butler at present is not known.

Spotted Tail and his band had an interview with
General Walker, the Commissioner OF Indian Az
fairs, at the Interior Department to-day, Secretary
Delano being absent in North Carolina The band
being introduced, Spotted Tail proceeded, through
the interpreter, to state his special object Of the
VISIT to tell the Great Father that he and his braves
had selected fine location on the White River for
reservation, and that they would leave Nebraska
and 60 upon it, He complained that the promises
made by General Harvey and the stpulations of the
treaty Of 1868 had not been fulfilled and hoped that
now that they were going on this new reservation
the horses, COWS and oxen would be furnished, and
he appealed to the Commissioner to see that they
were delivered. He said that he wanted good
American horses, not Wild horses, so that
they would be OF some use to his people,
he also wanted guns and about two hundred
rines to defend themselves from other Indians II
anything happened. There was no danger in CIV
ing them to him. he said, for he had made good
peace and shook hands forever. He also wanted
revolvers for his young to run bufYaloes with
when they 60 upon their fall hunt, and the neces.
sary ammunition. He wanted several more traders
appointed, as competition gave more and better
goods at less prices. From this time he said, he
wanted all the promises made to his people put in
writing. There was SO much fraud practiced upon
them that they got but half the goods sent them by
the Great Fathef. --'f'' q ~
Spotted Tail expressed the satisfaction they felt
ut the manner In which they have been treated
here but said he desired to return to his people as
soon as possible as they were anxious to know the
result Of his visit to the Great Father. He asked
that julie Coffee might be appointed trader at
once, and said he would name others hereafter.
General Walker SAID he was glad to
hear the words Of Spotted Tail, and
that his tribe had decided to 60 to the reservation
on the White River, where they would never be
disturbed and where they could build their homes.
He promised that every provision OF the treaty Of
1868 should be carried out. When they got upon
their new reservation each man of the tribe should
have o deed in black and white OF one acre Of
land that should always be his. The horses, COWS
and cattle promised should also be sent to
them. He also promised to comply with the
wish Of Spotted Tail and appoint julie Coffee, a
trader. The department knew him and believed
him to be good man. He also promised arms but
said they would be given only to the old braves who
were known to be good Indians, as the young war
riors might not make q proper use OF them He
praised the White River reservation which they
had selected, which had good water and plenty OF
wood and urged them to pick out the very best To-
cation there, as they would not be moved again.
The conference then ended, with the understanding
that Iron Shell and Swift Bear would be heard In
relation to certain other matters tomorrow.
