THE INDIAN FRAUDS.
uo,her Letter from william Welsh


NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-Willlam Welsh prints
another tier, addressed TO General b. R
Cowan, concerning the Indian frauds. He
produces documents to prove the existence of
frauds more numerous than before stated, and
closes as follows:
If after reading the letters I have already
written, you will withdraw the charge that L
virtually screened those guilty officials, hope
you will do so, as intend if possible to avoid
any such imputation, and L have papers aud
documents in my possession that will surely
convince you, if you have not already been
convinced. Some very suggestive documents
have been brought to me, and l will close this
letter with reference to one of them. 1t is a
bill made out by Buckley, Walling & Co.,
whose store is the headquarters of the Indian
Ring, for large purchases made of them for the
Indians by one Gen. B. R. Cowan and one
John L. Delano. If officers having high
authority under the government commit such
irregularity as to make private purchases in
their own names, it will be impossible to pre-
vent clerks and others, who receive small
salaries, from initiating the example of officers
who are over them.
Yours respectfully,
WILLIAM WELSH.

Assassination of the President of Ecuador
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Advces from Pana-
ma per steamer Acapulco say that Guayaquil
is thrown INTO great excitement by the news of
the assassination of Govea Moreno 10 his pal
ace at Quito by an officer, Capt. Rayo, whom he
had displaced from some Off e, and by two
young men of Quito called Cornejo. Rayo first
struck the President either over the head or
shoulders with machette and was instantly
run through by sentry onduty, who fired his
piece and killed the assassin Immediately. The
two young men after Rayo had struck the
President fired on the latter with. their revolt
vers. The President fell on his face MORALLY
wounded and has since died. The two young
men escaped. No disturbance followed, but
great alarm seized on all foreigners, and strong
reasons exist for believing that there will be
a massacre in the foreign priests. An address
by the Governor of the province OF Guayaquil
says "The charge of the government will be
undertaken by an individual designated by the
constitution" The republic is declared in a
state of siege and the governor is clothed with
extraordinary faculties provided for by the pc.
litical code of the country The governor ap
peals to the chief officers to assist him in
maintaining order and sustaining individual
guarantees.
