TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
Latest News from Washington.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.


WASHINGTON, August %, 1873.
The Report or an Indian Massacre as
Fort SilR r.
creates a very painful sensation here but
the War Department authorities do not ere.
dit the rumor, as they believe that had such
q massacre occurred the Government would
have been advised from some point much
nearer Fort Sill than Waco. Further in
formation is, however, looked for with no
little anxiety.
The Last Demand OF the Negroes for
Equal Rights
is going to be very troublesome to their
white friends, inasmuch as there is DISPOSE
ton to desert the Radical colored clubs.
Theories about mixed schools and equal
division of official spoils does not enter into
the heads of the leading men of the Black
Mans Party movement. II will make con.
tention in Ohio, as it has already done in
this city, and the friends here of the Radical
State ticket in Virginia will be sgreeably
disappointed if it does not show itself to
their disadvantage in that State. TIMoN.

Reported Massacre by Indians, and a
Contradiction. ...
New ORLEANS, August 2S.--A special dis
patch from Waco, Texas, says: "a stage
driver brings news that large body of In
dians surprised and captured Fort Sill, In
dian Territory, massacring The women and
children and nearly half of the Fourth
United States cavalry"
The Associated Press agent at New Or
leans has telegraphed for an explanation of
this report.
CHICAGO, August 2S.-A report from
Waco, Texas, of an attack by Indians on
Fort Sill, and the massacre Of women and
children and a part of the Fourth cavalry, is
undoubtedly an error. No report of such
an attack has been received at Sheridan's
headquarters here, which would certainly
have been the case if one had been made.
Furthermore, the Fourth cavalry is at Fort
Clarke, on the Rio Grande, not within five
hundred miles of Fort Sill.
WASHINGTON, August 2S.-The War De-
partment has no advices from Fort Sill.

Sautin@ and striking K. w. Woodbridge
with batchet, at the Tredegar Works, on
Monday last, was called in the Police Court
yesterday, and the difficulty having been

overture was made to have the charge dis.
missed. AS the charge was one of felony
Justice White refused to dismiss it without
an investigation. The facts proved were
such as to satisfy the Justice that there was
really no felony in the case, and he accord
inyly fined Robinson $40 for assault and bat.
