Indian Affairs
New YORK, Feb. 21.-The late reports con-
corning the Indian troubles in the Platte VAL
ley have been exaggerated. There are no ind-
cations of a general war, aud the Sioux are said
to be p aceful, or at least, quiet. Nevertheless
several murders have been committed by them.
Lone Wolf, war chief of the Kiowas, was
comparatively civilized until he lately heard
of the death of h S son. He had an ambulance
and pair of mules, and said he was trying to
live like white man. The son was killed
while raidng in Texas. Lone Wolf drew his
revolver, shot his mules, broke up his wagon,
piled it and his lodge on top of the mules. and
burned the pile. He shaved one side of his
head, stuck black feather behind his ear and
started his followers on the war path.
1t is reported that the Navajo Indians and
Mormons on Virginia river in Utah, lad a
fight, several being killed on both sides. Gen.
Ord has ordered troops there.
1t is stated that the cause of the disturbance
and murder of Frank Applston at Red Cloud
agency was the furnishing of worthless flour
by the contractors for the Indians, which was
SO bad that the Indians would have nothing to
do nth it. Good -four was originally passed
at st. Louis by the government inspector, but
rotten stuff was substituted before reaching
the Indians.
In an interview with the President yesterday
he said that he should adhere to his peace poll
CIV with the Indians.

The CoNcERT.-On account of the rain the
concert rendered to the Misses Leavitt at City
Hall Saturday evening was not very well at
tended. the house being thin. The absentees
missed good concert, for the fair young bene
siciares acquitted themselves admirably and
their support was excellent. The audience was
liberal of applause and encores. Miss Annie's
pleasing soprano was heard to much advant-
age in her selections, while but little scope was
given for the display of Miss Alice's peculiarly
sombre contraito. Miss King quite equalled
expectation, and Mrs. Goodwin, the pianist,
showed pleasing touch and much facility of
execution Miss Dunton was ill and unhble to
appear. but her place was very acceptably fill
ed by little Miss Flora Goodwin who sang
"Maggie May to the great satisfaction of the
audience. Messrs. Thurston andShaw as always,
acquitted themselves with credit. A large
portion of the honors of the evening were car
ried off by Mr.. Hunt, the solo cornetist, who
awakened the enthusiasm of his hearers by the
correctness and spirit of his playing and who
called forth several vigorous encores. 1t is to
be regretted that the unpleasant weather pre-
vented fuller attendance

The following incident, which has not yet ap-
peared in print, is related Of the late Commander
William B. Cushing. II is another evidence Of
his personal disregard Of danger when the honor
Of the flag Of HIS country was at stake. One even
ing as the boat which was conveying him to the
shore in South American port had Just made
her landing, boat in which was Spanish col
Onel, who was on hts way to attend q court mar
tal, roWed up,and seeing that Oushing's boat had
or was about TO secure place at the steps, he
dered his oarsmen 70 row inside and disi0dge the
American from his position, which was done very
easily, as such an ungsntlemanly act was unex-
pected by the latter.
This was an insult to his flag that the hero OF
the Albemarle could not brook. As soon as his
boat again made her landing he jumped out, the
Spanish colonel in the meantime being we'll on
his way to where the court met, and followed the
man who had by his order offered the insult To
the nag. On he went, alone and unaided, until
he reached the court-martial room, into which he
entered unannouneed and gazed With those
dauntless eyes Of his on the whole court In ses-
sion. After they had recovered from their sur
prise at seeing q stranger in their midst Com
mander Gushing pointed to the man who had
acted in such an ungallant manner a short time
Consequences or apologize for the insult offered
Be It said to the credit OF the other members OF
the court that they fully agreed that their col.
league had done wrong. The consequence was
that the offender made an ablect apology to the
gallant Gushing and his fellow-members Of the
courtmartial for acting in such q manner, aud
the former withdrew, feeling that he had once
more indicated the honor Of the nag that had
sheltered him from his cradle to his grave.

RUINS.

THE BODY OF A MAN FOUND IN THE
RUINS.
Shortly sfter midnight an alarm was turned In
from box %, caused by IRE being discovered In
q tWo-story brick stable in the alley between
and and Sixth and Seventh streets northwest,
occupied by the horses belonging to the Interior
Department and private team Of Gen. E. p.
Smith, Indian Commissioner. The scene OF the
FIRE was in q thickly -builtup section Of the city,
and the strong wind prevailing gave fear to the
residents Of that locality that the flames would
spread and result IN serious c0nhagration.
Fortunately the high buildings about the stable
protected Il from the wind, and the flames were
confined to tho stable alone. Within the stable
were ten horses, four wagons and several sets Of
origin Of the fire is unknown, but supposed to
have been the work Of An incendiary.
For some reason the alarm was not announced
promptly, neither did the department respond
with that alacrity and get into operation with
that sWiftness that usually charhcteriEes their
movements. Box 20, at the cornero Of Seventh and
Z streets, had been sounded four times, and no
indications made By the striking Of the bells to
show that Il had been received at the fire alarm
ONCE, when the policeman, thinking 1t out Of or
der, started fer another box but as he did so the
alarm was given. When the engines arrived on
the ground there was some delay in getting water
on the fire, and the men did not work with that
system and precision Of aston generally exhi0-
tied by them on such occasions. What was the
cause for these delays is unknown, but the de-
partment was certainly not complimented for
After the flames had been extinguished, aud
while a survey OF the scene Of the ruins was
being made, the fireman came across the body OF
aman burned almost to crisp and beyond reeog-
ton. The head was resting on the north window
sill, and indicated that he was making an effort
to escape when the names overlook MIN. From
Il is believed that the remains are those Of Geo.
Carter, eolored, who has for some time past been
employed as hostler by the Interior Depart
ment, and who slept in the upper part Of the
stable.
