W ASHiNGTOS. A
Serious Outbreak among the Indi-
ans in Kansas.
More Troops Called For.

Washington, I. The Commissioner of In
dian affairs has received the following impor-
tant telegram to day, being news of a serious
outbreak among the Indians in the Indian
Territory
Usage City, Kansas, 9TH.
To f. p Smith, Commissioner, Washington :
have just arrived from the Cheyennes
and Arrapahoes Agency, on the north fork of
the Canadian river. Hostile Chcyennes, Co.
manches and Kiowas made their appearance
in the vicinity of the agency on the % inst,
and on the same day they killed and scalped
VIM. Watkins, 80 miles north of the agency.
Five war parties seemed moving in the direc-
tion of the trail from the agency to Caldwell,
Kansas. | at once despatched a courier to
Ft. Sill for troops, which were temporarily
granted.
On the morning of the 9Th we mustered a
small party of employees to escort me through
to Caldwell. Hostile Indians had been seen
at Kingisher's Rancho. Proceeding north we
took all the men and stock to Lee and Rev-
nold's rancho, on Turkey Creek. On the "a
inst. the Indians attacked this rancho, but
were repulsed, getting only some horses.
-Four miles north of Barkers rancho we
found four men-Pat Hennessy, Geo. Feud.
Thomas Galloway and one unknown-lyng
in the road murdered. They had three wag
ons loaded with sugar ana coffee for agent
Howorth, all of which was destroyed or taken
away. All the men were scalped. llennesey
had been tied to the wagon and burned, and
the fire was still burning. We gave them a
hasty burial and proceeded TO the next
rancho. Here we found the teamsters and
stages concentrated. They reported the war
party, about 100, having passed north and east
that morning. The ranchemen had stood
them off. We took a woman and child from
this place and gave the men all the ammunition
we could spare.
The next rancho we arrived at after dark.
The Indians had gone into camp four miles
east, on Skeleton Creey. / advised all the
places, which they did, and by making good
use of the night, we reached Caldwell yester-
day.
We found Leffiins ox-train at Pond Creek,
25 miles south of CALDWELL and fear that this
train, loaded with subsistence for the three
| agencies, will be captured, as we saw nine
hostile Indians in that vicinity, and the party
only had three guns. My chief clerk is in
command of the party. There are now but
two ranches occupied on this road and we
fear their fate will be sealed before help can
reach them.
have no doubt the Indians will clean ev-
erything until repulsed-this is their procla-
nation.
| have offered my own life in passing
through their lines to save others, and now
ask and shall expect to receive at once two
or three companies of cavalry, one to be
stationed at Bakers rancho, to protect the
government interests on this road, and one al
the agency. These troops should be transports
ed as quickly as possible to Wichita, by rail
No hostile Indians shall be quartered at the
agency, and must have the troops to bach
it up.
| Let the hostile element be struck with sucl
power as shall make the work quick and eff
! fectual.

The Globe says that sad case of drown.
ing occurred Sunday afternoon at Seal Har-
Dor. A boy named Nathan Bowden, 16 years
of age, whose parents reside at the south
end, went on board the schooner Post Boy,
Capt. VIM. Fountain, which was anchored in
Seal Harbor, and on which he was engaged
as cook. He went out to the schooner in q
dory to light the lantern, when, in jump
ing into the boat, in some way he missed his
distance and fell into the water. His body
was recovered.
The Oxford Democrat notices this act of
kindness: On Saturday, the citizens of He
bron and vicinity visited the farm of Abel
Taylor, whose barn was burned by lightning
short time since, for the purpose of assist
ing him to raise new one. They not only
raised the frame, but succeeded in boarding
the sides and ends, thus leaving only the roof
to be completed. This barn is 20 feet long,
and the rapidity with which the job was CON-
pleted shows that the good people of Hebron
can do when they try. Over $500 have been
pledged in cash and work to aid Mr.. Taylor.

l now go to Leavenworth, awaiting instruc.
tions, and am ready to go with General Pope.
| (signed) JOHN d. MILES, Indian Agt.
| Mr.. Miles is Quaker, and considered by
the Indian department a cool and thoroughly
reliable agent. His request for troops has
| been endorsed and recommended for immedi-
ate attention by the military to the war de-
partment.
The hostile Indians referred to have been
arrested to the number Of 2000, comprising
about one fourth the Cheyenne, Ciowa and
Arrapahoe tribes.
Commissioner Smith last year recommend
ed that these tribes, who bad been raiding ex-
tensively in Texas, should be brought into
thorough subjection and compelled to give up
their raiding leaders. This was not done and
the trouble now proceeds from the same tur-
bulent portion of the tribes, three fourths of
whom are peaceably located at Fort Sill res
ervation, where also Santanta. Big Tree and
their other prominent chiefs still remain in
compliance with their agreement.
The new Commissioners of the District of
Columbia to-day continued their investiga-
lions. Telegrams were sent to Morton, Bloss
& Co., the First National Bank of New York
and other banks where the loans had been
hypothecated by the late district government,
notifying them to present their accounts for
settlement.
The Commissioners having completed their
preliminary examination of the affairs of the
district, unanimously agree upon general
system of retrenchment.

DR.. SCHENCK'S
Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic.
and Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed
more cures of Consumption than any other remedy
known to the American public. They are COM
pounded ofvegetable ingredients, and contain moth
ing which can be injurious to the human cOnstitu.
tOn
Other remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases. and if taken freely by
consumptve patients, it must do great injury; tor
its tendency is to conine the morbid matter in
the system, which, of course, must make cure
impossible.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle of opium 1T is composed of pow
erful but harmless herbs hich act ON thelungs, iiv
err stomach and blood, and thus correct all morbid
secretons, and expel all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are
the only medicines which operate in this way, it is
obvious they the only genuine cure for Pnlmon.
AIRY Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable
medicine is accompanied by full directions.

The announcement of the death OF Hon. T.
II. Hubbard of Biddeford, was incorrect. We
had the intelligence from sources that we
deemed reliable, and although glad to know
that up to this writing Mr.. Hubbard fingers,
we are sorry that such premature announce
ment has been made. We are grateful to
those of our exchanges who usually copy our
news items bodily without word of credit,
this one among the number, that they have
hastened to tell their readers that the error
belongs to the Kennebec Journal. We will
not take back any good thing we may have
said of Mr.. Hubbard, and trust he may live
yet many years to read his own obituary.

Joseph Wescott, Esq, of Portland, was
robbed Saturday afternoon in one of the Bos-
ton depots, of $500.
Now that the hydrophobia is raging, peo.
pie are becoming nervous about being bitten
by dogs. The Portland Press says that two
young ladies, daughters of Capt. B. f. Hen
ley of Cape Elizabeth, went to Portland on
Saturday, to spend the Fourth. AS they
were walking up Vine street, savage dog,
said to belong to a Mr.. Wyer, sprang upon
them, inflicting a dangerous bite npon the
arm of one of the young ladies.
The Wing thinks there is no doubt that
the State muster will be held in Bangor mex.
month.
A young lady tired of life, attempted sui
eide by jumping into the canal at Orono on
Saturday, but was rescued.
re- union of the 10Th Regiment Me. Vols.
is to be held in Bath, on the 25th of August,
the date of muster in of the regiment. The
committee of arrangements, Gen. L. S. Sew
all, Gen. Selden Connor, Col. j. w. Spauld-
ing, Lieut.. j. w. Wakefield, Surgeon Hawes,
and Lieut.. w. ID. Haley, met on Friday to
arrange for the occasion. The exercises
will consist of a business meeting in the af-
ternoon, an address by Col. Spaulding, and
banquet in the evening.
The graduating exercises of the senior
class of the Bath High School were held on
Friday morning. The following is a list of
the graduates of 1874: James G.. Dunning,
Mary l.. Harding, Nellie Blair, Eliza Clarke,
Mary A. Burke, Charles d. Clarke, Ellie p.

The young man who is willing to accom-
modate his employer with an hour or half an
hour over time occasionally, or to some extra
job for another as occasion may require al
though it may not be in the bond, is the one

who leaves his axe or hammer in the air
when the clock strikes II or 6, is not the one
to get permanent job.-[ Machias Republi-

Mr.. Daniel T. Turner and Henry A. Blake
of this city, both respectable citizens, who
have heretofore borne good characters, broke
into Kennebec Jail yesterday, cutting hole
through the solid masonry and brick work, 3
thickness of three feet. The entrance was
effected in broad daylight, and it attracted
the attention Of passers-by, who appraised
Sheriff Thompson of the fact, but up to this
time no arrest has been made. The penalty
for breaking into Jail is clearly defined and
very severe. We ought to remark that the
gentlemen are masons and were preparing an
entrance to the Jail workshops.

NEW BRUNSWICK.

Fredericton, 7. A serious riot occurred
last night, on the occasion of the perform
ance of Lents circus. Large numbers Of
lumbermen were present and dispute arose
at the ticket Office on the subject of change.
A row ensued, the circus men drawing revol-
vers and firing among the crowd. Instead of
intimdating, this only incensed those present,
and as fast as the wounded were carried away
others took their places. The circus people
were overpowered and some of their wagons
rnn into the river. The riot assumed an
alarming aspect. Fire bells were rung and
body of special police sworn in, and after
some trouble succeeded in clearing the
ground. l3 of the circus men were arrested.
A full investigation is to be made Much ex-
citement prevails.
