WASHINGTON, Sept. L. 1874.
despatch was received at the War Department
this morning from General Nelson A. Miles, com.
manding the expedition to the Indian Territory,
dated, "Camp on the south bank OF Dry Fork OF
the Wichita. Texas, August 25," announcing that
his command started from Camp Supply on the
Goth inst and marched twenty-six miles up Wolf
Creek then eighteen miles to Commission Creek.
and then to the Dry Fork Of the Wichita. He gives
particulars OF the reconnaissance of Lieutenant
BALDWIN as far west as the Adobe Walls and down
the Canadian River. Lieutenant Baldwin reports
having seen Indians nearly every day after he left
Beaver, and from the Adobe Walls to the camp ON
the Canadian River, about sixteen miles west OF
the Antelope Hills Fresh trails going south were
crossed, and the men VINO have been living at the
Adobe Walls have determined to abandon the
place on account OF the almost daily annoyance
and hostility Of the Indians.
General Niles says he Is satlsned that the Chey.
ennes, KiOwas and COmanches have concentrated
on the headwaters OF the North Fork OF Red River
and It's afiiuents. and on Elm Fork, and he pro-
poses to continue his movements In that direc-
tion. At the time the despatch was sent the In
