indians Preparing for War.

ST. LOUIS, April 1O.-The Lawrence, Kan
journal learns that the Kiowas, Cheyennes
and Arrapahoe Indians are preparing for war,
and that the government IS reinforcing all the
forts in Western Kansas and south Of that sec
ton, and that extra troops have been ordered
to that point. Two companies of cavalry have
already arrived and two more are on the road.
There is every prospect of Indian troubles on
the frontier this spring.
The Leayenworth Times of recent date says
all trustworthy accounts from the frontier rep
resent the AIrapahoes and Cheyennes as MAX
ing preparations for a campaign of determined
fighting. The young men of the Cheyenne
tribe scorn the peace policy, are restless, impa-
tient and eagerly anxious to go on the war path.
The old chiefs who have visited Washington
and who have noted on the route the extent of
the white population have advised ace in the
councils, but the mpulsive young warriors will
not listen to the song of the quakersm.

dams, and Worse Whites.
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The Secretary OF
the Interior has received letter from the
ModOc Peace Commissioner Meacham, wnicn
Meacham says the principal impediment 70 que
peace negotiation is the fear that the Indians
indicted by the jackson County grand jury
will be given up for punishment. The peace
commissioner and military however are wohh
ing together harmoniouslS to overcome the us,
trust of Modocs, but difficulty is encountereu
from the intervention of bad white men, WHO
from mercenary motives desire the proiong%-
ton of the war. Meacham says that the de-
sire of the government is well understood oy
his colleagues, and the military, and that no
means will be left unturned to secure peace.
Secretary Delano had advised the military not
to give up the indicted Indians, but rather to
remove them if they surrender.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has re-
ceved a letter stating that it has not yet oee s
discovered who were the perpetrators oi IN, Sne
murder of the four surveyors. He reports va. 1a
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes have peen us us
turbed in their Buffalo range by whites. soutn
of the Arkansas river, where their Treaty u
1867 provides that they may hunt SO long as
they desire. They are also dlstuloeu aLd III
iured bv out lawed whiskey traders, and are
dissatisfied with the appearance andSstay OF
the surveyor on their reservation, but deny any
knowledge of the recent mlfuers. LAcitemenL
has risen high among them in consequence OF
returning from New Mexico as previously re.
norted. but the excitement is subsiding, and
Hoao saws we shall doubtless control them il
the border citizens can be properly restrained.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has called
the attention of the Secretary of the interior
to the recent murder of the surveyors, and re-
quests the Secretary to obtain from the Presi-
dent an order for stationing two companies of
troops in the vicinity of the public work, west
of the 9S meridian. The Secretary will make
the desired official request.
