! icy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEi
| WASHINGTON May 11-Dnring the past 1ew days
member of the Cabinet has said shat the PRESIDENT
mad bscome thoroughly in earnest In regard to Lou
sana affairs and that the difficulties In that State
,-ond sneedily be brought to close. Farther con-
ticc revealed the fact that the President had
,,Too,,,ad to keep himself thoroughly informed of
tho rogress of the troubles there Notwithstanding
his nrolonged absence. and that he had returned
with the full determination of taking some decisive
action. His adhesion TO the Kellogg assumption is
more marked than ever. and he VIII go to any length
and strain any authority to sustain it. On sat
urday evening the President had long
consultation with Gen. Sherman, Attorney
General Williams, and Secretary Robson, at
which the New Orleans situation was thoroughly
discussed, and high-handed measures were sug-
gested to which the President attentvely listened
and which will probably be carried out before the
close Of the present week. The Administration is
uuable to understand why Mr.. Kellogg does not
make requistion for Federal troops as 1t is claimed
he has perfect right to do in the absence of the
Legislature. to maintain the peace and assist the
civil authorities in administering the Laws. 1t Is
said that he is the proper Judge TO determine whether
there is a condition of society requiring the inter-
ference of the army and that any aid he might re-
mira would be promptly furnished, so far as the
President is concerned.
It's not the Presidents intention to take any en-
ergetic action until this requisition is made by Mr
Kelloeg and it is hoped that Notwithstanding his
claim that the people of Louisiana are with nm, he
viii make the demand without further delay IN
order TO give the President an opportunity oil en-
forcing his "policy with the army IN that state.
If Mr. Kellogg can be made TO understand what Is
required of him, heroic treatment Will be adminls-
tered hv the President AS soon as requisition Is
made the President will Issue proclamation IN the
most positive language admonishing the citizens
of Louisiana to peace, dispensing the McEnery Gov
ernment and proclaming the Kellogg assumption
"a the lawful Government and announcing the IN
tention Of the Executive TO sustain Mr.. Kellogg
with the whole military force of the country. III
necessary this proclamation is to be accompanied
with An order TO send all available troops TO report
to Gen. Emory at New-Orleans. The proclamation
will be in such language that it viii be susceptible
Of no doubtful meaning, and will convey as pam
as words cam the determination Of the President as
above set forth. The action proposed, 1t is sald'
meets the hearty approval of Attorney-Oen' "H-
