the following report from Col. Nelll, comm md
ing at Cheyenne agency, Indian T., territory: Az
one D. IN April 9th, hostile Cheyenne prs
oDer was being roned when he jumped and ran
from the guard. He was Immediately hred
on, and eight shots were fred from the hostile
Cheyenne's camp, when the whole OF the men,
women and children deserted their camp and
the men escaped to commanding sand hull
across river. Capt. Rafferty's company OF
cavalry followed them aud the Indians opened
fire with number of rifles which they had
concealed in the sand hills, and Immediately
attacked them 1 arrived on the ground and
fought Thorn from p. M till dark with three
COMPANIES of cavalry. one of the 9th and two
of the 10th, and a Gatling gun. The Indians
held their position all night.
We charged their strongly entrenched posi-
ton Ghree times. Once when mounted we had
to dismount and charge GA foot, and mere haa
many men wounded 1 discovered at daybreak
this morning on opening fire that during the
night the Indians had left, and their trail went
west of the North Fork. have ordered two
companies of cavalry to pursue and attack
these Indians as soon as they feed their horses
and men and get into the saddle. We have got
three dead Indians and suppose more are killed
and wounded had sixteen OF our men wound
ed. four severely and four horses killed and
several wounded. | have the thirty-two hostile
CHEYENNE prisoners safe in the guardhouse and
ironed Yesterday at p. m. / sent courier
to Capt. Mackentrante to this place and asked
assistance from Fort Sill and of the friendly
Cheyennes and Arrapahoes who took no part
in the fight.
Lam afraid the hostile Indians who have
gore West will make junction with those who
are on the Canadian frontier, near Antelope
Hills.
Gen. Pope telegraphs Gen. Sheridan that
twelve companies of cavalry and as many in
fantry companies as can be used have been put
in motion against the Indians from all dircc-
tions, and as the Indians are nearly destitute,
having neither horses nor food and very little
ammunition, it seems unlikely they can get
away.

MEXICAN RAIDS.


GALVESTON, Texas, April ia special to
the News from Brownsville says it is reported
that Clarke and his men killed French Leuis
and man named Torres at La Prairie. The
charge of abusing the women has not been YER
flied and no doubt will not be. Capt. Claus re-
turned with his command yesterday. 1t is re-
ported that the men implicated with the raid
ers are coming to grief, but no details have
been received. The raiders complain of Gen.
Cortina, who allows them only So head for
beaves and 81 head for horses they bring from
Texas. They say they are compelled to take
these low prices because he fits them out and
they must sell to him.
NEW ORLEANS, April 10.-John Malt, depu
ty collector of customs at Roma, Texas reports
officially to Col, Haynes, collector at Browns
vile. that on the night of the I'd, at 10 o'clock,
Roma was surrounded by party of Mexican
robbers, on their return from the interior of
Texas. Their intention was TO rob the custom
house. Capt Prices company of troops were
at Roma, ready to receive them. As soon as
the Mexicans knew this they crossed the river.
Rio Grande City is Is miles below Roma, and
half mile lower is Ringgold Barracks, the

CATION returned from that city this morning,
having had an interview with the governor, re-
lative to the withdrawal of the military from
this place. In order that the situation might

his Adutant General Latta to come here ana
in conjunction with the sheriff, who had been
telegraphed to meet prominent citizens repre-
senting both 81 les of the question and decide
the problem. The officials above mentioned
met the miners and those favoring recall OF

promised sufficient force to protect the work.
ing men. Subsequently those favorisg the re-
tention of the military held conference with
Adjutant General Latta, when the gravity OF
the situation was earnestly discussed. The re-
suit of these interviews is anxiouslv awaited by
both parties and the question as to the necessl-
ty of military assistance to enforce the laws
will probably be decided within twenty-four
hours.
Last evening one of the special policemen
from Philadelphia, who had been running one
of the pump-engines at Ecklev, while on his
way to work, was taken into the woods by two
ruffians and threatened with instant death.
Pistols were held at his head, but one of the
men having spark of humanity left, protested
against such extreme measures, much against
the wishes of the other, however, who insisted
upon putting the threat into instant execution
Latter desperate was arrested this morning by
the police, and subsequently released on bail.

Lively Row in the Illinois Legislature.

SPRINGFIELD, April 10.-The Republican
members of the Legislature prerented a protest
against the rulings of the Speaker. Democrat
ic majority resisted a proposition to place it on
record, and warm debate ensued, growing so
violent that the members hurled books at each
other and used most violent language. In the
midst of the melee the Speaker declared the
House adjourned. Thereupon a temporary
chairman was appointed. Mr.. Haines, the
Speaker, had left the chair, but on motion to
appoint chairman he again made rush for
the chair followed by Democratic members
The Republicans, headed by Jones, who had
been declared Speaker pro tenn, also made
dash for the chair, but Hanes had already Sc
cured his seat. The news OF the disturbance
soon caused the hall of the House to be filled
to OVERLOOKING by an excited crowd. After
some time the excitement was allayed and the
Assembly adjourned sine de-

Democratic Combat with Robbers.

MEMPHIS, April 10.-Numerous robberies
have been committed 10 the neighborhood of
Chicot, Ark, and the citizens believing they
were perpetrated by regularly organized band
have quietly been on the alert for them. On

in a commission warehouse on the bank. An
alarm was given and the citizens soon sur
rounded the building. The robbers opened fire
on them. which was returned and two robbers
killed A third jumped out of a window into
the river and was drowned, and the naming
two were captured next day. Numerous per-
sons suspected of being in league with the band
disappeared, having fled from fear of the pris-
oners' duplicating them.
