ST. Louis, Aug. %.
The Evening Dispatch publishes au-
thentie information from Fort Sill as late
as August 2lst, which is to the effect
that on the Goth inst General Davidson
left Fort Sill with his cavalry under
orders Of General Anger to suppress In
dian disturbances on the Texas frontier,
leaving but three companies of troops TO
garrison the fort. The expedition was
expected to be gone 40 days, but nothing
has been heard from them since the
above date. The weakness of the gar
rison, the knowledge that the Indians in
that region are familiar with all that re-
lates TO the defense of the fort causes
much apprehension on the part of per-
sons here who have friends and relatives
at the post. 1t is feared that the report
from Waco, Texas, of its capture and
massacre of its inmates may be true.

NEW YORK, August 80.
City Treasurer Sprague, of Brooklyn,
has put a stop, for the present, to all
further investigation Of his accounts, by
dispensing with the service of the expert,
Warren, who, it is intimated gave offense
by making public the results of bis inves-
legations, in advance of their submission
to Sprague. Warren, in addition to his
former statements, and from memoranda
made in the course of his examination Of
the books, says when the present Comp.
troller entered Office, January l, 1872,
there was existing defalcation in the ac-
counts of the City Treasury of over $780,
000 aud in the Sinking Fund of sec, 900,
all of which has since been made good
except sos, 200. In the General Fund,
according to the official report of Warren,
there is now, apparently, deficiency in
the City Treasurer's accounts of $4,000.

Parsons, Ky, August 80.
A deputy United States Marshal states
that at recent sitting of the United
States District Court at Fort Smith,
Ark, 10 persons were convicted of muir
der. These are citizens of the Indian
Territory, and were arrested in the Indi-
an country, taken to Fort Smith, and
convicted by jury not composed of oiti-
zens Of their own country. These facts
will soon convince the Indians that
Government should be extended over
tAIdkt ltIIlbUIN, anu l ulitu OtdtGS bOuEtS
established, so that crime committed in
their country, can be tried at home by a
jury of their countrymen.
There are rumors that amount to al
most certainty, that terrible massacre
has been committed at Fort Sill, occa-
stoned by the return of Santanta and
Big Tree, recently returned from prison
in Texas.
Governor Osborne will soon publish a
letter to the President, asking the sus-
pension of further cancellation of settler
entries on Usage coded lands, and that
no patents shall be issued to railroads,
until the question has been passed upon
by the Supreme Court of the United
States, where the question is soon to go
by agreement between the railroads and
settlers.
