KNAPP will at once direct Instructions TO be
sent Colonel Rose, commanding the United
States forces at Little Rock, to turn over
to Brooks the state arms now stored in the
arsenal, and which, since the beginning of
the trouble, Col. Rose has refused TO deliv-
er to either Brooks or Baxter.
The postmaster-general will also order
the postmaster ut Little Rock to deliver to
brooks all mail matter addressed to the gov
erlIor of Arkansas. This will determine so
far as it can now he done, the question of
who is governor Of Arkansas, and should
there be further disturbance which the
Brooks people cannot suppress, the lcgisla-
