Indians.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-Superin- [
tendent Hoag has informed the Indian
bureau that he has ordered a thorough
investigation into the murder of sur
veyors by the Indians. In his commu-
nication he incloses letter from the
special agent, John 4. Williams, who
saws it appears as if the said outrage was
by the Cheyennes. 1t was
probably done by some of the young
men in the absence of their chiefs, and ]
while intoxicated. This view is
by the bodies being buried I
in the sand, which is unusual among |
the Indians. They scalp, and leave the
bodies exposed. The investigation will =.
be pursued and especially with Indians J
on their arrival at the agency to which
they are moving, and we expect no fur
ther trouble, the chiefs and head men of
the KiOwas, Camanches, and Apache |
Indians having petitioned for the release
1f Santa Arta and Big Tree, and having
restored all stolen property, by guaran- s
ees for future good conduct, their petit {
ion is granted. Santa Arta and Big
Tree are now held only until provision 8
AN be made for their safe escort TO their
,wn country.
Atlantic Disaster.
HALIFAX, April 14.-The Atlantic in 5
,estigation was resumed this afternoon.
Benjamin Fakes testified that the !
Keeper of Duvel's Island lighthouse, on
he night Of the disaster, had his light
n perfect order at eleven o'clock in the }
afternoon; weather thick and hazy; L
.ould see Chebueta head, but not Sam L
,ro light at three o'clock in the morn C
ng; weather clear, and both Sambro r
md Chebueta headlights visible; wit
less then testified regarding the cur b
ents of the coast. Captain Wood, har- t
,or-master Of Halifax, was then called t
s witness, but was absent. Captain n
Williams made a supplementary state {
l1afnf in u htah hn gafA flaf Af1an-l
ic, and other White Star steamers, !.
we're intended 10 consume fifty \
i've 10 sixty tons of coal !,
,er day; when coal was as bad as in the Il
ase of the Atlantic, it takes seventy :,
Ons TO maintain the same rate of speed; 8
he company has contracted for the "
'est coal in the market, and cannot be
leld responsible for the quality of coal =
upplied by the fault Of the owners: the y
English portion of the coal supplied to u
he Atlantic appeared to have laid at a
'itsmouth for some time, so that its D.
Ieating properties were very much i'm n
aired; had the coal been the quality
xpected by the White Star line, She ST
you'd have had fourteen and a half b
avs full consumption; no ship of the W
White Star line having made p
assage longer than thirteen and d
half days from Liverpool to V
Sew York; there was an ample sup ]
ly Of provisions on board, the govern ci

fled to thirty-three days supply when d
We left Liverpool; what we were greatly ?
hort of was salt fish and potatoes for g

he crew, they were as good as usual, II
hOugh a little reugher; We consider n
urselves lucky il we get ten good sea-

seamen have deteriorated;
be best run of the Atlantic this voyage
