Rio Grande.
New YORK. February 13.-Mayor O'Neill,
of Jersey City, received several dispatches
in relation to absconding City Treasurer
Hamilton. The first one purpOrted to come
from Sheriff Mclean, OF Corpus Christi
Texas, and was signed by several other
officials. 1t stated Hamilton could be are

for preliminary expenses. The dispatch is
considered fraudulent scheme to obtain
money.
Another dispatch was from j. F. Parker,
chief of police of Corpus Christi, inquiring
the amount of reward. This is the fourth
time Parker has asked that question.
The third dispatch was received in the
afternoon from Brownsville, and read a5

New YORK, February 12, 1874
To General W. T. Sherman, Washington:
The trouble with the Sioux Indians,
which for some time past we have been try
ing to avoid, seems now to be beyond a
peaceable solution. In addition to the kill
ing OF Lieutenant Robinson and Corporal
Coleman, the chief clerk at the Red Cloud
agency has hpen killed
The agent of Spotted Tails agency re-
ports that large parties of hostile Indians
from both agencies have left for general
hostilities General Ord has sent out scout
ing parties to warn the ranchemen, and to
tell them to return to the railroad.
| will go home tomorrow to superintend
any action that be necessary.

Division OF Missouri, Fifth Avenue Hotel New

Your dispatch of this morning was re-
ceived. Under call OF the Interior Depart-
ment OF to-day, sent to your Headquarters at
chicago, you will be justified in collect
ing the most efficient force possible. even
IT you draw cavalry from Fort Riley,
by rail to Cheyenne, to march to
the Red Cloud agency, striking every
party OF Indians that opposes. Every In
dian who has marauded south of the North
Platte should be demanded and heid as ac-
compllces in the murder of Lieutenant
Robinson. Their ponies must be very poor
now, and the game must be scarce, aud the
occasion to give the Sioux lesson long
merited seems to me favorable.
My own opinion is that the Sioux should
never again have an agency away from the
Missouri river.
