MussEL SHELL RIVER, August l9, via
Fort Benton, Montana, August 23-The
abundant preparation which the Yellow
stone expedition made for the reception of
the Indians has been fully justified.
On August 4 General Custer, with
"Bloody Knife" and . squadron of cavalry,
had been detailed by General Stanley to 20
on several miles in advance of the wagons
and look up the road.
Having gone about ten miles ahead, they
halted and picketed their horses in the
woods by the river to wait for the train.
Two hours afterward six Indians appeared
on the plain and made demonstrations to-
ward the camp. A dismounted line of
skirmishers was thrown out, and the horses
saddled. The Indians we're easily driven
off, but proved the decoy of large party
in the neighboring woods, waiting in am
bush for the cavalry. Finding the ruse
boldly rode out out. and advanced on the
grove occupied by the cavalry. General
Custer had only one squadron, eighty men,
under his command.
Captain Nayler's men again dismounted
and formed q skirmish line The Indians
also dismounted and formed line in q
semi circle around the cavalry, who had the
river at their backs.
Rapid firing was kept mp at . distance Of
three hundred yards. General Custer de-
ferred charging, hoping the main command
would soon come up and assist in csptur-
ing the Indians.
After three hours fight his ammunition
gave out; he tken charged the Indians, who
precipitately fed, dropping many Of their
equipments. 81.
After retreating several miles they took
to the "bad lands." 70 One man eighty
wounded in the arm, and one horse wound
ed, formed the extent Of Clusters loss.
While the fight was going on some Indians
left the party in search Of stragglers from
the train. Coming up with DR.. Housinger,
veterinary surgeon, and Mr.. BAlarin, cav
airy sutler, who were Lees than mile from
the columA, they killed them and took
thsif clothes and valuables.

Sir Samuel Baker Heard From.
The Pail Hall Gazette of August 13 pub
lished letter from Sir Samuel Baker,
dated KhartOOm, July 9, in which he says:
1.-The news Of Livingstone's safety received
here is most cheering; but am astonished
at his account Of an examination of the
north end Of Tangsnyiks that there does
not appear to be any connection with that
Of Nyanza.
since I wrote 70 Sir Roderick Murchison,
the King of Ugarda, Mtese, to whem had
intrusted the search for Livingstone, sent .
messenger to me at FstikO saying that his
men had been to Ujiji, and declared that
Livingstone had lett that place long ago for
the west side of Tango n yika; since when
nothing is known Of him. They also re-
ported that three white men had been to
Cjiji, but had returned. sent one Of my
men with Mtese's ENJOYS, to remain with
him. as my agent.
This man Sshm was one Of Spekis
dris, was seized by the police and made .
soldier; thus his destiny brought him into
my services. wrote . letter to Living
stone. which will certainly reach him If he
comes north, and the king will receive
him kindly and forward him to the govern
ment station. :.
4 esta ablishsd station opposite Riogaads
Island. on the Victoria Nile, north latitude
26o. My next station is Fatik0, north lati-
tude 80 4, at which places he will feel him
self at home, should he reach them. The
the Hangar is the Albert Nyanza, and
that Ujij is on the eastern border; that you
can travel by boat from Ujiji to the north end
of the Albert lake, but you must have q
guide, as some portions are very narrow
and intricate.
From my experience OF theihigh water
grass, should expect islands and floating
vegetation in the narrow passes described.
am by no means fond OF geographical
theories, but the natives description was
so clear that accepted as fact that the
Tanganyika and Albert lakes are one sheet
of water, with marshy, narrow straits,
overgrown with water grass, through which
you require guide.

The Shreveport Times has felt called
upon to explain ifseh. This il one Of those
sheets that has resolved never, never to re
cognize the usurper Kellogg, under any
circumstances; but quite recently, the post
of mayor of Shreveport becoming vacant by
the resignation of DR.. Taylor, the Time.
advocates the appointment of Major John
C. Moncure, to the vacant position. There
upon the Soratweste,n-1 Telegram accused
the Times of inconsistency. That paper ex
plains that the petition asking the appoint
menr was not addressed to Governor Kel
logg, but that, supposing the Governor
would fill the vacancy, the friends Of Major
Moncure simply signed an expression Of
their preference" which they proposed to
lay before the Governor for his action.
That is all. They wish the Governor to
distinctly understand that he has no power
or right to make tho appointment, but so
long a. the vacancy exists, and some one is
to be appointed, they want Moncurs to be
the man. This j. the way. the Times alinets
itself to the circumstances of the case. but
probably Governor Kellogg viii adjust the
Shreveport msyoralty without embarrass-
ing the Times to any great extent.
