The Indian Troubles.
The officers of the Indian Bureau state that
the cause of the present Indian outbreak is the
fact that the Interior Department has been un-
able to provide the Indians with their annual
supplies, owing to the inadequacy of the APP
preparation. The fund for the current fiscal
year is entirely exhausted, and thare is a def
cheney of one million dollars. The Interior
Department has no means of relief until Con-
gress shall have made additional appropria-
lions.
